Not a building per se…nor is it technically ‘on’ the map…but yes, you are not aware of it ;)

Flint’s sharp senses discover a tiny marble trigger at the foot of the northernmost column in the pool room...he also finds a similar trigger hidden at the base of the westernmost column…

"Shall we check out what these triggers do? I am betting they open up a passage way but we shall see."

When everyone is assembled Flint will examine the trigger in the pool room for traps (44 Perception on a take 10) and assuming that it does not trigger a trap he will activate it.

Neither trigger is trapped; when you press the north column trigger, you can’t immediately tell what it did…but when pressing the western trigger, the floor slides back, revealing a flight of steep stairs leading down…

Marta wits for the more experienced members to lead the way and follows closely.

I'm thinking the haste expires but does the shield of faith do so too?

Bow in hand Flint leads the party down the stairs. He keeps his eyes peeled for any potential traps (44 Perception on a take 10 or 46 Perception if is related to stone work).

"Absolutely, follow me."

Flint simply took 10 on his Perception check so his searching should not have taken any appreciable amount of time. It is up for the GM to decide but I don't think that we have spent more than 2 to 3 minutes maximum after combat including the time it took Zaarah to dress. :)

There we’re several unexplored rooms with lots of folk…we’ll say 5 minutes have passed since combat…

Flint leads you down the steep stairs…

…to a chamber where every inch of the walls of this chamber is lined with bookshelves groaning with tome after tome, most of which seem to have been preserved here since the days of distant antiquity. Comfortable leather seats are positioned back to back in the center of the chamber, while reading desks occupy the four compass points of the room. A clearly limned trigger is set into the wall at the base of the stairwell…

Flint checks the trigger on the wall for traps as well as the floor ahead leading into the unexplored room. Assuming that he finds no traps he leads the party to investigate the unexplored room.

Flint detects no traps, figuring the trigger is how the stairs are activated from this direction. He notes many books of magic among those in this chamber. As he starts towards the other room, you hear a sultry voice, ”Welcome, heroes, I’ve heard much about you. Enter and speak with me…”

Flint does not allow the demon to confuse or delay the party. He steps up to the doorway into the room.

See Invisibility is up.

Flint quickly scans the room to for anything of interest (including traps) not trusting in a creature that embodies chaos and evil.

The dwarf's bow is out and at the ready.

We can jump into combat if everyone likes or we can hear her out if she actually has box text to tell us that would move the plot along. :)

Grand Lodge

Moonscar

This chamber is a surprisingly austere room with few furnishings. An arcade of arches fills the room’s outer wall, overlooking the hard, dark stone of the tower’s supporting rock formation. This stone, however, has been seemingly magically enhanced to allow those within the room to view the sky without—the dark glass blocks out ambient light and provides a clear view of the stars and Golarion regardless of the sun’s position in the moon’s sky. An incredibly complex telescope sits by one of the arches on a silver stand, pointing directly to Golarion in the dark sky overhead.

You see three of the alu demons you fought standing behind a most striking female succubus…the wounded alu, in addition to the one intimidated by Marta, eyes go wide in alarm upon seeing you again as both blink away…

Slightly irked by the two frighteningly running away, she waves at them before smiling at Zaarah and then Alie. ”Finally, some courtesy amongst the barbarians,” the lovely seductress purrs. ”Not surprising that it comes first from the nicest smelling of you, not to mention the only one with the grace to bathe when most graciously offered…

“I am Euphrixia, lady of the temple…one of the Sisters informed me of your visit; she and my servants here have underestimated you but I assure you I have not. Now tell me…who are you? And why have you chosen to…visit us?”

Zaarah waves a hand.

”Ah well, Alie is the cutie. I’m the dorky one. Yes. So we are looking for kidnappers that kidnapped people from Golarion and we’re obviously going to kill everyone one in our way until we find those responsible! You understand, right?! I mean I’d really appreciate a change but my companions really like killing things so it’s hard to circumvent that. Do you have any questions or concerns about the potential violence breaking out soon?“ she asks with honest curiosity.

Euphrixia smiles. ”You are most sincere, Zaarah, and you and your friend have talked with me in good faith. Alas,” she says as her smile turns into a smirk as she sees Marta shake her head and Flint do likewise, while preparing his bow, ”I see your other companions have violent intent; my mistress will be quite perturbed. We will meet again…”

Then her and the the remaining alu suddenly blink away…

Do spellbooks detect as magic? If so, most of the library books show a magical aura…

Flint finds that the trigger only activates and deactivates the same stairwell they entered from…he also discovers the library contains a bunch of spell books; practically any spell you’ve ever heard of is in at least one of the tomes found here…

After a thorough search, the only entry/exit is the stairwell you entered from…

"Yes, they are master of lies and deception, and us of the martial arts inclination are clearly not. Let the actual masters of lies and deception in our group do their thing. To simply shrug and refuse to play the silly demons' games will result in what just happened: the smart ones will simply flee our arrows and blades. Pick your battles carefully. It is not by accident that I play the part of a fool when we enter taverns, lounges or... bath houses. It is better that the enemy think you are insignificant and foolish than giving them a step-by-step demonstration of your abilities which they can prepare to counter afterwards."

You scour the temple and find no signs of any other secret stairs, doors, or chambers…nor do you get any answers from the obviously charmed/enchanted humanoids residing in the temple. You reluctantly come to the conclusion that if there be a way forward from here, it is likely outside of this temple…

Strongly Chaos-Aligned and Evil-Aligned: Nonevil or nonchaotic creatures take a –2 circumstance penalty on all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based checks in the Moonscar. This penalty stacks with itself for creatures that fall into both categories (-4).

Impeded Magic: To cast a spell or use a spell-like ability with the good or lawful descriptor, a caster must make a concentration check (DC 20 + the level of the spell).

Though Theodric's warning is supposed to discourage her, the thought brings a smile to her face. Battling demons is a calling for her, and months or even years does not seem like a deterrent. Unfortunately, there are no demons to fight at this point.

After a long and fruitless search, Marta is ready to call it, at least regarding the temple.

"We must look for tracks at this point. Both Flint and I are experienced trackers and we may be able to pick up a trail."

"Well, we can look outside for to start. Perhaps there might be another building or entrance to one. The Alu demons must be nearby as their powers of dimensional travel is limited."

"In terms of magical aid, there are spells that would help locate these creatures but I have no personal knowledge of these spell. Perhaps the arcane casters might be able to help out here?"

Find the Path would probably work here or other type of divination spells that can track down these creatures. This is a bit out of Flint's wheelhouse as he is at best a tertiary caster. :)

"Because they have to land somewhere and they are large. They will most certainly have left signs. And if we assume they teleported their max distance and concentrate on looking for signs there, we can get a direction. Also, I'm not sure whether they might prefer walking to teleporting. It might tire them. And just because they can teleport it does not mean all the visitors can, and if some of them went to the same place, they might have left trails. For now it is our best bet."

Agata listens to the banter with the succubus with amusement, cackling and coughing from time to time. Afterwards, as the others debate the pros and cons of diplomacy, she giggles and hisses, "yessss, yesss, hee hee, haw haw..." though it is not even slightly clear which side of the debate she favors.

When it comes time to find the path forward, she summons her trusty maidservant to step to the front. "Sweet Mawd Junior, enough o' yer lolly gaggin' - time t' do a bit o' work fer a change. These nice friends gonna ask ye some questions - do yer best 'n see if Desna - bless 'er drawers - 'll answer any o' em. An mind yer p's an' q's aintcha - yer still on the clock no doubt about it!"

Sweet Mawd will cast Commune if the party wishes (6 yes/no questions - all have to be done in quick succession - the spell doesn't let you pause for discussion, though of course we can discuss ooc beforehand). Personally, I'm really rotten at thinking of good questions so I hope someone else will have some ideas.

Other than Commune, I'm not sure that I have much to offer to help us find the way forward. Agata has a casting of True Seeing still available. And if we decide to rest in the Fairy Ring Retreat again I might be able to prep some other spells that would be useful though nothing immediately comes to mind.

Oh, and one other idea...

Agata thinks for a moment and then casts a quick spell before trying to determine if her long years of experience may have taught her something relevant.

Casting Whispering Lore before making a knowledge check to try to discern anything useful about where to look next.

Investigative Mind to roll twice and take the better result
Knowledge check: 1d20 ⇒ 3 OR Knowledge check: 1d20 ⇒ 3 Lol!
Well, that will still be 3+4 (insight bonus from whispering lore) + 20-40 (depending on what type of knowledge check it is)

Check out my November 6 post for a couple of questions Theodric already came up with... Theodric also adds:

"Agata... you and Sweed Mawd worship Desna!? so do I! bless you both! She has kept me safe on the roads, trails and wilderness along the years, and if you have questions to spare, ask her if we're doing Her proud during this quest and if there's something we could do to help Her or Her agents right now!"

Marta holds up a hand in an attempt to forestall the Commune spell and practically barks, "We should try to gather whatever information we can mundanely first. If that fails we can ask questions like 'Is janira more north than south of us right now?' and start narrowing down the direction of travel."

Flint, need a little more specificity on where you’re looking outside the temple…aside from the stairs, it’s a long drop down…the grey areas around the temple can be traversed but some areas might need to be flown or jumped to…the brown areas are the forest, a long ways down. Outside the temple the squares are 10’…

Alie can save her fly spell on Flint as Marta found something, I just couldn’t post till now as I was slammed at work…

After a thorough search from above, Marta finds something odd near the marble pillar supporting the southeastern portion of the of the Temple…

Upon the top of this flat lunar glass outcropping, Marta finds a perfectly round piece of obsidian cover, perhaps a cover to an entrance, blending almost perfectly with the reflective stone of the outcropping. Testing this slab, you estimate it weighs many thousands of pounds, much to heavy to lift by physical means alone. Marta then notices a mechanism that might slide the slab aside if activated?

Reaching out the feels the anomoly, she hald calls, half talks to herself,

"Hey, Flint, hold off on your search and come over here. Does this look a little off to you?"

...

"The rest of you too. What do you make of this?"

After studying and feeling a bit more her hands pause over a certain location, then pulls her hand away and points at the spot.
