"'There is no presence; there is absence, There is no meaning; there is knowledge.' ...As for why, it reminds me of Molthune Imperial battle chants 'Death Today Death Today'.

"These are parasites and leeches! Not souls worthy of redemption." fyi; phantoms gain DR 5/magic at 5 and it scales with level, but they never lose the DR 5/slashing. Irrelevant here, but in case it affects your other games.

Tem turn on Poe, his rage awoken! "Have you learnt nothing! Julius is dead but will live again due to the efforts of this team. In every battle they will be losses but I am not ready to yield!!! Return to rest you failed soul!" Tem usurps Poes power and strikes at the offending phantom. Tempting offer, but Tem makes the decision in this team ;) Everyone else can look at the Poe spoiler.

UJ; if you have any desire to keep playing your character I have boons and wealth I can throw in to help get you back on your feet. I'll be switching over to 2nd edition and so I'm 100% willing to bankrupt this character to get you back on your feet.

Yes, phantoms are outsiders with very few special immunities, poison poisons. As the ectoplasmic half-orc is maw'd by the beast, Poe staggers and begins to cough blood. With Etheric Tether Poe will take the 19 points of damage. fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
So...? 6 Round duration? Those dice rolls sum up this entire encounter.

"What does a tavern and gambling hall have to do with the cult? Are they recruiting from the weak drunkards and punters? Tem asks as he returns the food to the plate, untouched but with a longing look.

"This wild desperation, this search for nothing. I sounds like a battle shocked soldier, have there been recent external pressures on this cult?" Tem chimes in, allowing the godly among them to do the talking.

With restrained fury at the undercurrents of strife within the city, Tem elaborates; Your city is agitated. Your people speak of the Roidirans. You have extra guards on patrol. Whatever these knowledge seekers found, it is problematic. We as Pathfinders are exceptionally qualified to manage problematic knowledge..." Who has the letter of recommendation?

Following the grippli onto the boat is the ectoplasmic phantom of a half-orc armored in full plate. "Salutations battle sibling Blackfang. And to you also Julius, although you are no uncle to me." Glancing at the grippli with distaste, he continues. "Don't mind the anchor, it is my burden."

After Poe quietly closes the office door, Tem finishes readying the the cages (who knows, they might become useful) and returns to the barracks with Poe following. If they get back without incident we can get this party started. The door locks, did we notice if they were keys or barred from the other side or some combination lock?

"Sir! We weren't assigned to to you just to sit in a barracks! Assign a duty." Tem responds, working to keep his anger in check and not disrupt the good will the others have established.
