Thanks again, Kludde. 'Twas a pleasure.

Does the covered up section reference the additional boon we could receive in the future? If so, wouldn't it need to be uncovered? EDIT: I saw a full sheet, so the covered portion doesn't mention the potential new boon. How do we know what it is? (Or will it be explicit on chronicles in future scenarios?)
322 takes a moment to search Zey's possessions.
She'll use detect magic to attempt to identify anything that might be useful.
With that done, she hurries over to Zey's desk to perhaps determine if there is any useful information on securing the Sky Key.
"To the void with Rataji. Collecting the Sky Key was his job, and he abandoned us." Rant:
322 actives an odd looking lantern, then uses her dagger to coup de grace the fallen wizard.
322 is weakened greatly by the snaking flame. She pulls out a scroll, and uses it to cast heal on herself.
322 calls on the vast emptiness of space, focuses it on Zey.
Interstellar Void:
Interstellar Void (Su) Once per day as a standard action, 322 can cloak one target within 30 feet in the void of space, dealing the target 7d6 points of cold damage (DC 17 Fortitude half). GM:
With Zey sickened, 322 pulls out her scroll of slay living, and uses it.
As 322 knows (or at least, suspects) there is (was) an invisible caster at the marked location, instead of continuing to concentrate on detect magic to deduce the location, she will instead cast ray of sickening.
Gift of Madness:
Gift of Madness (Su) 7 times per day as a standard action, 322 can tap into the unthinkable void between the stars to cause a single living creature within 30 feet to become confused for 7 rounds (DC 17 Will negates). This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.
More darkness congeals around 322 in the shape of wings, and she flies up and over the trap into the room.
"Can you fly without triggering the trap, Master Dragon?"
Instead of moving in as she initially intended, 322 casts detect magic, focusing first on the image of Zey, and the using it to scan for other possible illusions in the room (like, say, invisibility).
322 does nothing overtly hostile. Perhaps Shohiraj can convince him of good intentions. She moves into the room to speak. "Master Zey, the Society is besieged, and requires your aid in the courtyard."
322 glances intently around the room. We were warned of illusions. Could this figure of Aram Zey be an illusion itself?
322 assists with the disguises, although she has to borrow a kit.
"Yes. Tell him the Pathfinders are being overrun outside. A giant stone statue has come to life, the creatures of the menagerie have escaped and are wreaking havok, and we've come to tell him Aspis are flooding from the tapestry attacking any they can find." It's a long speech for the normally quiet elf, and she looks tired from saying it.
She looks back at Gazwyr. "He might have a hard time believing us to be friendly if he sees a green dragon, however." She prepares further by casting tongues on Marnarius, and using her scroll of communal protection from good.
322 uses detect magic, and focuses on the fallen paper, as well as the wards in the room.
The troubled elf listens intently at the door, but the buzzing annoys her.
Darkness continues to pool around her, coalescing into a hard shell.
She uses the wand to heal her own injuries.
322 scoffs at the "leader" and his amateurish attempt at performing the ritual.
"Bluff. Then kill. "Shall we knock?"
322 raises a hand for her companions to stop. She continues to listen, intently.
GM: Is there a keyhole, or some similar means of viewing the other side, such as a barred window or peephole? If so, is 322 able to cast [url]murderous command[/url]? (It's a close range spell, not a ranged touch spell.) If so, she'll quietly cast it on the female, DC 15 negates.
Fighting may not be her greatest strength, but sneaking? That she can do, and do with style. Before they depart, she asks, "Are there wounds that need healing?"
"Make sure you are also searching for the notes we came to find."
322 looks at each of the weapons, and spends time examining them in turn. She mumbles the incantation for detect magic, and peers intently.
That accomplished, she aids the search of the room.
322 expends another charge healing Zurnzal. Direct confrontation is not her strength, and she holds the few direct spells she has in reserve.
322 pulls her wand, and moves to heal Zurnzal.
322 looks to the beast that has grappled her companion, and shares some of the madness within her.
The disturbed elf finds her thoughts don't match her tongue in times of stress. Her thoughts come out in a language different from what she intended. "Ah, ul foo lishardk. focuuk aavavackuk par juukav ni! Avheausan geav bonuukeuk nalkruska pairun" Aklo:
"Ah, the Foo Lizard. Outsiders. Focus attacks on just one. They get bonuses when paired." She moves forward, drawing her best dagger.
Her voice comes again, as if from the void of space. "I wàs ... distraçted," she responds to Marnarius. "Bεsidës," she smirks, in a cold, unnerving way, "Dφ ¥°ü εxpëct àny wσmaπ +° pay attëntioπ às you dεs¢riße how ‘glφrious’ your ‘wëapoπ’ is?"
322 whispers, her voice alien. "Oh, dσ you hα√e some+híng iπ pªrti¢ulαr yσu're seªrchiπg ƒ°r?"
The quiet, disturbed elf waits for the Professional to examine the entrance area for traps as well, before continuing in to the vault.
Pausing outside the entrance area, she scans the room using detect magic. "Now, where might Zey's tapestry notes be?" she wonders aloud.
322 warns her allies in a whispered voice, "Should the situation devolve to combat, be warned that I have a 'condition' that might prevent me from understanding you. Does anyone speak Aklo or Auran?" She is silent for a moment, concentrating. A cloak of black shadow drapes around her, stiffening, but making her outline indistinct and hard to see.
Now that the Master of Swords has begun his speech, 332 feels the time is ripe for a bit of mayhem. She speaks the command words under her breath, "The stars command you Durvin Gest."
Her distraction accomplished, she encourages her party in the direction of the vaults.
The queer elf looks unsure. She whispers to the others, "Don't we need to go to the vaults first, to get the notes about how to extract others from the tapestry? Or did I misunderstand?" "Either way, aren't we supposed to wait for the speech? I hear it's not to be missed." 322 smiles to herself.
@GM: 322 attaches her special box to the statue. She's torn between sticking around to see whether any additional action is required on her part, and slipping away, but she chooses to remain, hidden as best she can.
@GM, Marnarius: Some what chagrined, 322 waves for Marnarius to provide a bit of a distraction, while 322 tries a different shadowed niche (again, within about 40' of the halfling, but out of sight). Once she believes she's out of sight, she again tries murderous command as described previously.
