Ok. Make your rolls. The guards are moving about casually so you do have a chance to stealth up on them.
LOL...so much for that.

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Casting bless, shield of faith (on Ariadne), and guidance on everyone. That'll drop the durations of the first two spells at about 3-1/2 minutes by the time we start up the stairs.
Slow-moving Kayleigh will be in the rear.

Oddly it is the guard at the far end who hears you first and turns to see who is making the noise? Her mouth open to yell a warning.

Nethen, Kayleigh & Iorghil may act

Nethen Tesril |

I can't move myself on the Menagerie map GM.
His morningstar clangs against the topmost rung as Nethen ascends, the weapon's spiked head causing flakes of rust to flutter downwards as well as issuing a sound alerting the guards above. Wincing as he reaches the top of the ladder Nethen sees the guard at the far end of the corridor turn to face the group. He reacts as quickly as he can, moving forward and uncoiling his whip which he flicks out towards the legs of the nearest guard before she can draw her weapon.
Move Action to move 15ft to stand in front of Vedika, Standard Action to attempt to trip blue.
Trip vs CMD (presumably flat footed also?): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

As violence commences, Kayleigh tries to rush forward to help, but her heavier armor slows her to the point that she can't take a swing at the (presumably) fallen guard. She instead moves into position just south of the tripped sentry.
Likewise unable to move my PC's token.

GM_DBH |

You should be able to move now. Blasted Google docs.
Nethen trips Blue.
Kayleigh hustles forward.
Iorghil scrambles up and casts Barbed chains on Purple.
Barbed chains: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Purple is knocked to the ground.

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Kayleigh puts her faith in Milani's guidance, swinging her morningstar at the fallen guard as she tries to regain her feet.
Kayleigh Fairwind mwk silver morningstar (guidance): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15 for bludgeoning, piercing, silver damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Nethen Tesril |

As the guard scrambles to her feet Nethen cracks his whip towards her head in the moment she's unable to protect herself.
AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Forgot to add the +1 morale bonus from bless to Kayleigh's AoO; the attack roll should have been a 16 to hit.

Ariadne Rithann |

With to path to get into melee with the remaining guards clogged, Ariadne raises her crossbow, firing at the guard most likely to make a break for it.
Light Crossbow/Bless vs White: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
1d8 ⇒ 7
Confirm
Light Crossbow/Bless vs White: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
1d8 ⇒ 1

GM_DBH |

Kayleigh clobbers Blue, Nethen misses sadly.
Ariadne puts a bolt deep into White, who curses and heads towards the door.
I'm going to say that Iorghil picked up a light crossbow fromt he guards downstairs. His ranged options suck!
Light crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
But he misses anyway. :(
Blue's action was standing up. So Nethen & Kayleigh can act. White is opening the door to the rest of the Menagerie.

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Kayleigh tries to thump the injured guard again. The accuracy's there; the power...not so much.
Kayleigh Fairwind mwk silver morningstar (bless): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22 for bludgeoning, piercing, silver damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Nethen Tesril |

Nethen sees the guard try to move out of the way of Kayleigh's blow but as the weapon clips her arm he strikes out with his whip, desperate to get to the guard who looks to be running for reinforcements.
Standard Action to attack blue, attacking for nonlethal to increase the damage and hopefully put her down quickly.
Whip attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Nonlethal damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ariadne Rithann |

Ariadne gose racing after the fleeing guards, setting herself at the end of the hallway, and taking a bead on the backs of the fleeing guards.
Double move to hallway

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Kayleigh hustles after the fleeing guards but isn't fast enough to both catch up and get a swing at one.
Double move.

Nethen Tesril |

Nethen steps over the unconscious form of the guard he's just knocked out and follows the others down the corridor. He squeezes in between the women then tries to flick his whip past Kayleigh and around the legs of the nearest guard, trying to trip her.
Move Action to move 30ft, Standard Action to try to trip purple who gets soft cover from Kayleigh.
Trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Vedika Bhatia |

Masterwork sap attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Vedika pursues and goes for another knockout swing, to no avail.

Ariadne Rithann |

Eyes flashing with protective rage, Ariadne drops the crossbow, immediately beginning the intricate gestures of an offensive spell. Taking a step forward as the magic springs to life she reaches out, hand sizzling with deadly arcs of electricity as she strikes the guard who just stabbed her friend. "You bi+<#!!!"

init Green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

The time for stealth having long since passed, Kayleigh pulls out one of the few offensive spells in her current repertoire. Reaching into her spell component pouch as she casts, the healer slips on a pair of finger cymbals, crashes them together once with a quick shake of her hips (accompanied by an adorable blush), and concentrates on a spot just beyond the second rank of enemies blocking the group's exit. A moment later, a booming crash hundreds or thousands of times louder than the noise her finger cymbals had made echoes through the hallways, devastating their four enemies!
Kayleigh sound burst (centered in the middle of the hall just south of Yellow and Green): 1d1d8 ⇒ 7 (DC 15 Fort save or be stunned for 1 round)

Masterwork sap attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Masterwork sap damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
*thwack!*

Ariadne Rithann |

As Nethen takes down his target, Ariadne shifts, leaning against the wall to get the best possible angle as she completes an intricate hand gesture, bringing her palm up to release a brilliant blast of overwhelming colors, assaulting the eyes and minds of the guards.
Cast Color spray DC 14 Will. 15 ft cone starting in White's space should hit all of them while avoiding Vedika

Vedika battering one with her sap isn't really needed. :)
Light Blue turns and scurries back into the rom she came out off?
Everyone can now act!

"Iorghil, tie them up, as well as the other knocked out one back there!" Arani calls out, tossing him some rope, before moving to the door and throwing it open. (unless it's locked)

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

Kayleigh, likewise, gives pursuit. As she gets closer to Ariadne and the doors, she slows down and gets out of the way in case faster party members want to pass her and burst into the next room.
Double move.

Vedika Bhatia |

Should we be on the menagerie basement map? I ask because I was looking there and it looks like nobody has moved, so I'm not sure if that's the correct one.

We're up in the menagerie proper now.

GM_DBH |

I moved Vedika & Nethen up to join you.
Iorghil starts binding the unconscious guards.
The officer that ran is in her office, she's opened a small store area and is frantically throwing documents in a pile. The oil lamp in her hand shows what she intends to do.
What are you doing now?

Ariadne Rithann |

"Stop that right now!" Ariadne orders, extending a hand, as her eyes flash blue, a spell assaulting the guard's mind.
"Grab the Lamp!"
Cast Daze DC 13 Will or take no actions for 1 round

Kayleigh M. Fairwind |

I'm assuming that with all the gathering and spreading oil and readying a fire, the guard is currently unarmed and unable to make any AoOs...but if she CAN, Kayleigh will still move past her to give Nethen a chance at using his whip against her should Kayleigh fail.
Kayleigh rushes the woman and tries to keep her from torching any evidence.
Kayleigh Fairwind CM (grapple): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Vedika Bhatia |

Nethen Tesril |

Nethen moves in with the others to try and stop the guard before she can destroy all the paperwork. He grabs at her arm, attempting to wrest the lamp away.
Move Action to move 15ft, Standard Action to Grapple.
Grapple vs CMD: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
That's a timely nat 20 if ever I saw one!

Vedika Bhatia |

Since Nethen has the woman held, Vedika takes the opportunity to remove her own cloak and suppress the fires on the desk in order to protect the papers.

Nethen Tesril |

Nethen does his best to keep the guard restrained. [b]"Anyone got rope or shackles?"[/b[ he asks, grunting with the effort of trying to pin down the struggling guard.
Standard Action to grapple blue with a +5 bonus because the target didn't break the grapple, attempting to pin so that she can be restrained.
Grapple vs CMD: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 5 = 11
