Thel comes over to the door, looking it over. "I guess I missed all the excitement then..."
does someone have any oil we could open the door, throw it in with a torch and burn the bats?
Scratching his jaw while talking. "Bats don't really like light. If we could get some light in there, maybe we could drive them out, and we'd be able to get inside there," looking to the spellcasters.
"If we can't drive off these creatures, perhaps we should continue our exploration?"
"I am interested in what appeared to be a shrine. The pool, and what we may have heard there."
Bengal stays off to the side while they talk, running her fingers through her hair, trying to get the feeling of the bats off her. She shudders slightly. Bats were definitely not to her liking.
i agree with kolgun,let us continue
"Kolgun is right, we shouldn't waste time with flying rats when we're already doing so looking for someone who went and got kidnapped. One distraction is quite enough. Now, lets hurry on and find who we are looking for and be done with it."
let us go towards the fountain
Bengal thinks for a moment, "The fountain by the entrance, right?"
Heads back towards the stairs leading down to the fountain.
Kolgun follows behind Thel to the landing above the stairs.

Survival DC 15
They must be pretty recent because rather then being made in dust they are simply where someone had walked with wet feet and the prints hadn't dried yet.
They look to be around the size of a human's and are booted.
Thel looks around, unsure what he's really looking for, unaccustomed to all this delving.
Kolgun follows Thel and fails to see anything new in the area . . .
Survival (1d20+3=14)
He inspects the walls and what used to be the paintings . . .
(Perception roll up to the DM if needed . . .)

You see a massive chamber filled with cobwebs and dust. A shallow pool twenty feet across lies in the middle of the room, with tall pillars to the east of it, each carved to look like a tall, beautiful, human woman. The ceiling is vaulted, and a crescent moon has been painted at the highest point, which is directly above the pool. Although the paint is chipped, it still retains a peculiar luster that reflects light with a glistening glow. The walls sport a few empty sconces, and you see an imposing set of bronze doors on the east wall. These double doors bear images of winged horses rearing majestically.
Kolgun
The carvings that you see seem to symbolize Glarias. She was a minor deity that was worshiped for quite some time but stopped granting spells to her followers around the time of the death of Aroden(about a century ago). It is thought she died as well, though with how few followers she had overall she may have just faded from thought. She held the domains of good, luck and knowledge.
Anyone in the room can also make a sound based perception check.
Perception DC 20
Loren
Loren whispers, there is a secret door along middle of the north wall. If it goes straight it would likely lead into area 5.
and i can hear a scratching sound coming from the two doors off the northern hallway
perception roll d20+2= 22! (ive used up my good roll!)
Bengal follows the others, listening as she keeps her weapon to her side.
"So then what is the plan?"
Kolgun explains the former purpose of the room as a small temple to the moon goddess who faded from Golarion.
"Shall we see what is behind scratching at the door?"
that sounds like a good idea Kolgun
if the others go in Loren will back them up when they open the door staying about 20ft behind them
"Just lets be cautious. Something scratching at a door means it either wants in or out, and either way it's probably not good."
sound based perception (1d20+5=18)
Thel goes over to where the secret door was found. "Those legends that I read as a boy about endless ruins, with secrets hidden seem to be true." Taking a moment to sharpen his daggers, he looks over the wall for any indication of how the door would open...
Perception (sight): 20+1 = 21
Kolgun makes his way to the door that keeps the scratching thing closed in. He hefts his hammer and, for a moment, inspects the runes etched on its face.
He waits for the other to join him before opening the door to face the source of the scratching . . ..
loren will follow 15 ft behind Kolgun
Bengal gently nudges everyone to the side, so she can further inspect the door to find out how to pick the locks.

Bengal
After discovering how she would be able to unlock the door, she reaches into her back and pulls out her tools. Humming softly to herself, she sets upon the task of opening the door.
With a sly grin on his face, Kolgun nods at Bengal in appreciation for her deftness with the delicate tools.

Bengal makes quick work of the lock, though it doesn't come easily. As the bolt slides free the scratching on the other side of the door grows silent for a split second and then the door bursts open.
What stands on the other side was likely a man, once, but now its flesh is rotten and hangs from him in bloody purple clumps. Its eyes are intelligent and focus on you angrily. There is what looks to be the tattoo of a crescent moon in the center of its forehead that glows with a faint blue illumination.

Damage 8 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2100142/
Bengals eyes widen as she looks to the creature in front of her.
She quickly grabs her sword, and stabs at it, hoping to strike solidly.
Attack: 1d20+5=22, Damage: 1d4+1=5, Sneak attack (if I happen to act before its turn) 1d6=3
Kolgun gazes at the attrocity in front of him, but his training and study does not seem to answer the questions that pose in his mind . . .
Knowledge - Religion (1d20+5=8)
Regardless, he knows danger when he sees it. He readies to strike the creature -
1d20+1=21
Attack / Damage (1d20+2,1d8+2=[17, 2] 19, [6, 2] 8)
For Tarlane

so damage is 21!

Telekinetic fist (1d20+3=15, 1d4=4)
Aldrin will move to AS37 and use his telekinetic fist on the hideous creature, while saying "See? I told you something wanted out!"
|

The creature lunges forward at Bengal, snapping at her with teeth that hang loose in its mouth and clawing at her with both arms. One of the claws scratches across her arm, just nicking her, but seeming to burn badly.
Fort Save DC 12
Even swinging around the corner, Kolgun manages to connect solidly with the creature, smacking it firmly with his warhammer, its flesh giving in so that bone peaks through clearly where he strikes.
Aldrin follows up with a blow from his telekinetic fist, the blow leaving the creature looking to barely be on its feet.
Fort saves:
1d20+2=3, 1d20+2=4
