What remains of the ruins’s heart may have once been a shrine. Demolished walls encircle an ancient dais, atop which a shattered anvil-shaped altar lies defaced with dried blood, chalk markings, and other detritus. The bones of dozens of humanoid creatures are scattered about the building, along with the larger skeletal remains of what may be wyverns or drakes that are marred with deep claw marks. Behind the altar, a large stairwell stained with the blood of countless creatures descends into some dark vault below.
I may have been unclear. Before combat begins, will you sneak onto the map and possibly gain a surprise round or just enter and begin round 1?

I understand. I've noticed how I do initiative effects the game and have changed it up for games after this one. Hopefully, it makes things better for all.

Oh. I wondered if that check wasn't supposed to be Kuz'Arak. Oh well, nice opportunity to reveal something I've been sitting on for Kyros and the wargs for awhile now.
Yes. It was supposed to be Kuz'Arak.

KyrosKuz"Arak needs to make a Diplomacy 24 or Nature 28 to gain control of her as she furiously bites and scratches at the tree. Do you speak goblin? If not, you get a -4 penalty.You need to make this check once a day for 10 days before she can be considered 'trained'. I'll try to have you do so at times like this for story. Also, at least at first, you can't be aided in this role. She has to come to respect you (at 7 successes). That -4 non-goblin penalty is because she pretends to not understand you. It goes down by 1 for every two successes. Crits count as 2 successes and crit fail subtract 1. Please remind me.

The centerpiece of this room is a tall statue of a willow tree carved from pale marble. Six oversized roots around the base of the tree resemble stone beds radiating out from the trunk, with just enough room to climb into them beneath the statue’s stone branches. Exits lead out from opposite sides of the room.
Religion 26; Desnan +4
One can rest here in the hopes of having prophetic dreams. The indentation could hold a dreamstone. A dreamstone is a magical item that allows you to fall asleep easier and to require less sleep for full effect.
Do you wish to take the time to heal up?
The tree will reset once everyone has left the room.

Round 6 Lavinia May Act
- If called, the lift will be able to return at the end of round 7. It can get you to the next deck at the end of round 8.
* Dmerilo's swipe at the passing Blue discorporates it. He then goes to the closed lift. Green takes a swipe as he does so, but it misses.
* Menelas is finally able to leave the room. He goes to the lift.
* Kaeon also goes to the lift.
* Lavinia gets together with the group.
* Green strikes out at Dmerilo. Lavinia's protection mitigates the worst of the damage.
* The Jangly Man does something.

@Dan The Diceman welcome to the game.

@Blanket_Thunder First you need to get Pathfinder Society number at the Paizo website. After that, create a character using the Pathfinder Society rules. Alternatively, you may just begin by using a pre-made character. We can work on getting you a society number at a later time.
Do you have experience with Play-By-Post?
-
I just needed to finish the map. Please post.
-
Work became very hectic and I did a double shift followed by another double shift. We are now resuming our normal activities. Please post.

Link to paizo or any other site will be good.

I've not found it to be a problem. I fully admit that retcons have to happen, but, usually only for the latest round. Any discrepancies can then be adjudicated and the game keeps going.
Some GM's styles can make this situation more or less pronounced. You can mitigate this by adding contingencies into your posts.

With focused and fatal intensity, you bring the beast down.
The rest of the team takes care in making their way across the rickety bridge. Two of the weapons in the hands of the statues at the bridge are actual weapons. One holds a masterwork long spear and the other a masterwork light hammer bearing a cut onyx on its pommel.
After you cross the bridge, you can see more and more of the kobolds' influence and presence, from the repurposed art to sprung traps to occasional glimpses of patrols far off through the trees. While the kobolds have done their best to deface the ruins, you can still find many carvings and inscriptions that match the style of the one in Venture-Captain Sharrowsmith’s office.

Knowledge (religion) 12
The defaced alter was once dedicated to Torag.
Perception 15
You notice that most of the skeletal remains littering the ruin were slain by a creature with powerful claws, for marks from its savage attacks are etched deep into the bones.
Heal 20
You can date the wyvern bones as being centuries old, whereas the humanoid skeletons are much more recent.
Several kobolds are in the temple proper, painting the remaining five captive miners (two are already dead) with red and white patterns with a single yellow wing upon each human’s forehead. Others are nearby, singing and chanting Draconic paeans to their golden god. The captives are in and around the stairwell with their wrists bound.
Knowledge (religion) 12 or Sense Motive 15
The captives are being prepared for sacrifice, but there’s no recognizable deity associated with this particular ritual.
The religious focus and fervor allows you to make it close to the temple. If you intend to move onto the map without notice, a Stealth check is required.

A deep ravine divides the valley here, bridged only by an ancient and crumbling span of stone reinforced by haphazard wooden reinforcements. A pair of ancient dwarven statues flanks either side of the bridge, each in considerable disrepair. An ancient stone building partly consumed by the jungle is visible across the ravine.
Just as Vesal lands, she feels a rope tighten around her legs. Then, she is lifted feet first 10' into the air.
Vesal can either break free of the grapple (CMD 20) or cut herself free as a standard action with a light or one-handed slashing weapon. Either of these will drop you 10 feet and you will take falling damage as appropriate. Another PC may attempt a Disable Device check to disarm the sprung trap and lower the grappled you to the ground safely; this Disable Device action takes 2d4 rounds.
As she hangs there, Vesal sees an earless, panther-like beast snarls as the skin of its face twitches, then peels back to reveal the bone and flesh beneath.
Round 1
- Vesal needs to make a Will 12 or become Frightened.
* Tanith moves forward to cast Grease on Vesal to aid in her escape.
* Vesal, too focused on cutting herself free, barely notices the cat-thing's skull face. She frees herself and nimbly lands on her feet.
* Sorgath's sling shot hits the stone next to the beast.
* Khan's aim is off.
* It comes forth to bite at Vesal.

Round 5
* Dmerilo, not caring much about Blue, moves into position to chase after the Jangly Man while delivering attacks against Blue.
* Lavinia feels herself being affected by the Jangly Man's weirdness. She moves up to flank Blue.
* Kaeon tries to startle the Jangly Man, but it doesn't work. His aim, however, is still good.
* Menelas releases his gathered stellar energies.
* Blue floats off to the Jangly Man's side. Drawing AoO's from Lavinia, Dmerilo, and Kaeon. I think only Dmerilo can affect it, though. It tries to touch Kaeon, but isn't able to.
* Green reaches out to Menelas, leaving score marks on his armor. It then goes back toward the Jangly Man. AoO possible.
* The Jangly Man fires a desperation shot at Kaeon before activating the lift. He's running.

She speaks common. She's just being difficult.
You're out of combat. Healing can happen.
