"Masters? That foul slaver Jirandiel. A scoundrel she is. As I said,I led an expedition here, Pathfinder, same as you. Now.." in the distance the party can hear dogs barking..."ye best to get to what you came here to do."
The group can definitely tell there is movement coming from somewhere in the mansion and more than one dogs barking. What do you do?

We need to move and get what we came for....
I assess the injured man. We cannot leave him like this...
While I wait for the others, I zap him with cure light wounds from my cure light wounds wand, pumping charges in him to get him back on his feet as well as myself.
GM Brew: 1d8+1 per charge or just 5 per?..Seen it done both ways.
We were transported here by magic. There is no clear exit. By all means, if you wish to hasten your inevitable doom, flee now. I would advise you to remain here and hid best you can until we achieve our objective. I'm sure we will be clearing a path out of this place you can follow. Do you have any other companions we should keep an eye out for as we cut a bloody swath through this manor?
Once Titus is done healing the slave and himself, I vote we check out the long room to the east, and work our way back south. I'll give the key over to Riptide to try on any locked doors.
"Sounds like a plan." Riptide will move to the doors and try to use the key on any door he finds locked.
Also, while it may not be relevant to moving forward with investigating this stronghold, Riptide would like to know what he saw looking out the window, since we have no idea where the freed genie teleported us. Are we in a city, countryside? Any major landmarks the brainy types might recognize? In character, we'd want to know where we are, geographically speaking.

GM Brew, lets go with 5HP per charge at least from my wand of cure light wounds, just let me know how many charges for the NPCs and others. I will subtrtact the charges and keep the tally on my sheets.
Riptide makes sure his fellow Pathfinders are ready to proceed then opens the northwest door...
The age-worn, but still quite impressive, solid oak dining table occupying this room sets a tone of comfort for the whole dining area. Well-made chairs stand haphazardly around the room and a mat of dog fur obscures the rug and stone floor. Nautical maps and charts lay on the table, daggers pinning the largest map open, unfurled across the tabletop.
As he opens the door, Riptide is hit with a wave of sound as the sound of barking dogs becomes near deafening. Several dogs, including 2 rather nasty looking large black dogs seemed worked up at the Pathfinder's presence. They charge the party with snarling maws!

Poor dogs- your unfortunate fate in having these masters means you will soon meet an untimely end. Very considerate of them to lock them all up in one room for us to deal with easily though...
Riptide takes a five foot step into the room then enters bloodrage, his nostrils flaring, claws emerging from his hands as he grows to large size. He attacks the black dog to the south.
Collin summons magical aid to quicken his fellow agents.
Riptide, the primal draw of the dogs triggering his own rage, wades into the fray and attacks one of the apparent alphas. He rends the thing to pieces!

(silver) pellet blast, angled to avoid Riptide but otherwise catch as many dogs as possible (which may also involve shifting my position one more square somehow), Sacrificial Boon:4d8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 7, 1, 4) + 1 = 14
Vanzetti conjures a barrage of magic pellets. They shred through three of the dogs, turning them into piles of gore.
The remaining dogs descend on the raging half orc. The dark black hound bays before he darts toward Riptide. The eerie deep howl chills the agents to their core.
WILL save for all v DC 16 or...:
You are panicked for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds.
The black mastiff tears into the berzerking Riptide, biting and slashing with its tail. The smaler dog misses its chomp.

Panicked:
A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can’t take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers and does not attack, typically using the total defense action in combat. A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than shaken or frightened.
Ignoring the spooky barks and the yelps of pain, Riptide continues the bloody business of defeating the canine guardians, starting with the alpha black.

Honestly rather impressed with the remaining dogs' fortitude in the face of such a monster, V sets to weaving a thaumaturgically and metaphysically complex blessing in support of said monster.
I begin casting Extended infernal healing on Riptide.
Colin summons another creature from beyond to aid his allies. The conjured cat joins Riptide in attacking the black hound. Though the hound is able to avoid a number of the attacks, the combined ferocity of jungle cat and raging orc finally overcome the tenacious foe. After that, the last dog is easily dispatched.

Walking to Rip, i pull out my wand of cure light wounds and zap him six times, healing him for a total of 30 HPs; assuming he accepts divine healing :)
Riptide nods his thanks, though after a few rounds, he waves off Titus' continued ministrations. "Save your magics, friend Titus. The continuing healing of Vanzetti's spell can handle the rest."
just use 3 charges.
As he waits about a minute for the fatigue to fade and his wounds to heal, Riptide takes a closer look around the room.
Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
A natural stone floor and twenty-foot-high domed glass ceiling enhance the beauty of this entrance hall. A wide staircase leads up to the second-floor balcony while double doors open to the north and south, and another leads west into a garden.
As the party files into the room, an alarm sounds. The floor beneath the agents begins to warp and becomes soft as sand. The Party begins to sink into the floor! After a moment, the floor begins to harden once again, threatening to trap the agents where they stand.
The floor hardens after an instant. Riptide is able to leap from the melting floor before it traps him. Titus, Colin and Vanzetti are not so lucky and find themselves trapped in the floor.
The door to the south opens and, quite literally, drunken sailors come pouring into the room.
"Oy! What's this about!"*belch*

Colin up. For those in the stone, you are both entangled and anchored. You may attempt a strength or escape artist check to get free or try to break the stone by attacking it.
Entangled:
The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
Concentration DC19:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Fort Save, DC 19 vs. Fatigue:1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20
Colin waves his hands, reaching into the ether and pulling another fiendish tiger to this plane to do his bidding. It immediately turns on the sea witch and mauls them.

Well looks like I am standing my ground and defending a strong point!!!
I then lash out with my blade at the adjacent pirate to my front right.
LS power attack:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
GORY HELL As I am sure the attack will miss its mark.
I then attack the stone with my large brass lined shield edge, slamming the edge down as if I were using it to clip somebody in the knees.
I am assuming that this is a dual attack, but since I slamming the shield down on the ground, do I need to role a to hit role. I have the improved shield bash feat and applied the penalties to my LS attack if that makes sense.
