The Sentinel misses, but the others hit. Halunzet then shoots the priest. However, Sentinel moved up the priest without making a stealth check and so did Edwin. The other priest did not see the combat take place because of the way the corners are, but he did see you move up there, he will investigate, then ring the alarm.

to get that priest alone and away from the acolytes.
He does the priest alone, but as the Acolytes definitely hear noises they will return to T6.
Halzunet definitely shoots one of the acolytes in the ribs with a readied action.
We aren't in round 1 yet, but instead readied actions, heroes go. Acolytes have a init modifier of 0, so you can also take your round 1 if you want as well, since all heroes would be before them.

As you all head upstair, you spot the trap.
Nope, but Halzunet doesn't fail by that much either success.
After you disable the mask trap, the two priests see you, and approach you, but they also see the archpriests robes. Halt, state your business? Which one of the four archpriests are you? Speak before we ring the bells in the corner.

If you are wearing archpriest robes, ignore the init order, you are first.
each with a +...... actually, they don't have a +4 bonus, so you pass.
Nevermind what that note says, go on through. as they wave you on.
and none of the bedrooms are occupied.
2. Question is proposed at you "Who are the true gods."
You find this letter...
Now that I have the completed amulet, I shall return to the City of Golden Death to finish what was started all those years ago. At the time, I thought Kassen was a fool for insisting that we abandon such wealth, but now I must thank him. The treasure shall enrich the Living God, so that he will never die. Such is the price of immortality. Now I must return to the Isle of Terror, and I cannot say that my journey will be without terrible danger. May Razmir protect me.
Halzunet disables the last trap, and Edwin doesn't know the answer, but he guesses and gets it correct.
They are also able to get the treasure downstairs too in the basement in the unexplored answer when Edwin or someone else miracously gives the right answer.
The last bit of evidence you find:
In Egarthis's room
While most of the belongings in this room are quite ordinary (as Egarthis keeps most of his valuables on his person), a few things stand out. A map of Tamran with a number of routes detailed hangs upon the wall. A DC 10 Knowledge (geography) or DC 15 Knowledge (local) check reveals that these show a pattern of growth through the city, charting the temple’s influence. While not damning in and of itself, the map does show a frightening amount of progress. The temple and its priests exert their influence over almost half of the city, and a number of routes show they are making inroads into the other half. In addition to the map, a small desk in the corner contains a number of pieces of blank parchment and a quill and ink. A half finished love poem dedicated “To Iramine, to celebrate your great conquest” lies on top of the desk, and a crumpled up piece of parchment in the trash bin beside the desk lists the names of all the PCs and Evlar. The list also gives notes about their performance and any problems that they might have caused. Feel free to add additional demeaning observations about the PCs on this list. Treasure: A gold dagger, set with a wide variety of colorful gemstones, rests in the back of the desk drawer. Although quite gaudy, the dagger is worth 5,000 gp to a collector of such objects. A DC 15 Appraise skill check reveals that the dagger comes from the Isle of Jalmeray or perhaps from Vudra itself. Dark blood, blackened by the passage of time, stains the blade of the dagger (this was the dagger that Egarthis used to kill his father).
In Iramine’s Quarters
These are Iramine’s personal quarters. Fortunately for the PCs, she is out of town at the moment, heading to a city of near-limitless treasure. This gives them the opportunity to search the place for evidence concerning the cult’s true business. While there is nothing unusual about the bed, a small table positioned next to it bears a small whip, a pair of manacles, two bottles of Andoren brandy worth 20 gp each, and four vials of exotic perfumes worth 50 gp each. The desk, and the bookcase behind it, are where the PCs might find the information they seek. Unfortunately, the ledgers that concern the temple’s illicit dealings remain hidden in the bookcases, behind a false face of other books. This deception can be discovered with a DC 20 Perception check. There are three ledgers in total. One of these tomes
End of Module. Make sure you have the correct emails and pfs numbers. Game has obviously been reported weeks ago. Will get chronicles out to you sometime tomorrow.
Concluding the adventure: a lead in to City of Golden Death
True to his word, Reginar waits for the PCs at the Forest Bounty. Once they have delivered evidence of the temple’s foul deeds (primarily the ledgers from Iramine’s quarters), he rushes off to speak with his contacts. Within hours, Forest Marshal Gavrik has the faith outlawed in Tamran, and a garrison of rangers moves on the temple to arrest any remaining cultists. Later on that evening, the garrison pulls down the entire building and puts it to the torch. During their exploration, the PCs should have also uncovered notes about Iramine’s whereabouts (see page 24). If they missed these for some reason, Reginar meets with them the day after their escape and gives them the documents, explaining they were found in the collapsed remnants of the temple. Regardless of how they acquire these notes, Reginar meets with the PCs afterward to discuss the events. He explains that while his part in this is over, he hopes they plan to chase after the leader of the cult to put an end to this menace once and for all, confident that such action is the only way to put things aright in Tamran and the region as a whole. Reward the PCs with an XP story award equal to a 6thlevel encounter (2,400 XP) for defeating the vile plans of Razmir’s cult in Tamran. From here, their course is left entirely up to them, but Iramine’s trail remains warm enough that they should probably make plans to catch her. The events of this chase and the exploration of the mysterious treasure city are fully explored in the finale of this three-part adventure, the Pathfinder Module The City of Golden Death.
