I did. I originally posted that, but a sorcerer has so many spells and we tend to take breaks, so I changed my mind and I used the spell. Turned out waste with those rolls!

Iladora and Corbrae both miss, and Mrs. Book does a bit more damage to the automaton with her spell. The automaton reloads its crossbow.
Meresiel, Lybram, and Viridian can act!

He then casts shillelagh on his staff.

This isn't a cut-and-paste, so I'm not going to promise a lack of typos. From p. 213 of the Core Rulebook:
Pathfinder Core Rulebook wrote: A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a full-round action. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed.
L/N Female Human Sorcerer(Arcane)/5 | HP: 34/42 | AC Norm/Tch/FF: 16/12(16 incorp)/14 | CMD: 12 | F/R/W: +4/4/6 | Init: +4 | Speed (after dumping backpack) 30 ft | Bluff +9, Diplomacy +10, Intimidate +9, Kn Arc, Hist +5, Perception +5, Spellcraft +9, UMD +9 | Active Conditions: sunrod; inspire +2, spider climb (30 minutes)
Unfortunately, she spent a move action retrieving the wand. So this actually falls under these rules:
Start/Complete Full-Round Action
The “start full-round action” standard action lets you start undertaking a full-round action, which you can complete in the following round by using another standard action. You can’t use this action to start or complete a full attack, charge, run, or withdraw.

Lybram moves up into the room pulling out his mace as he goes.
Double moves

Botting Corbrae in the player's absence:
The bard continues her inspiring chant and shoots at the automaton again.
Light crossbow shot, including inspiration: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Unfortunately, she misses badly.
The automaton does better with its attack, hitting Mrs. Book for 8 HP.

Lybram delays to see if Viridian's framing ball manages to finish off the automatron.
If not he will throw an acid flask at the thing.

There are a lot of weapons on the other side of the bars. Mrs. Book sees nothing obvious that would retract the bars, except for the black lever next to the broken automaton...on the other side of the bars.

It takes a long time, but it's possible to cut through the bars. Nothing disturbs the party while this is going on.
None of the weapons on the other side are magical or masterwork.
I'm not able to edit the map from my phone.
The double doors in the north wall and the door in the south wall both open onto featureless curved bronze walls.

"Let's check these double doors first." If only to save the effort of cutting the other bars until later, she mentally adds. Iladora stands in front of the double-doors to the north, a bit winded from the effort of having to chop through solid bronze. Her expensive sword is not a very effective axe, and her hands are still a bit numb from the constant impact of metal-on-metal.

"I was thinking this black lever would just retract the bars we just cut through. I am starting to think the levers are some big puzzle. This could take a while." Lybram sighs with a little disappointment. "I don't like puzzles especially dangerous ones with a mechanical minotaur."
