Aureus notes everyone consent and offers, translated through Phar, to lead the way into the partially walled off stairwell and then up the stairs to the next floor of the tower. She looks for any sign of traps as she takes the lead. At the top of the stairs, beyond the stairwell's gap, the next level of the tower is all one room. Another alcove like the one you've exited from stands 15 feet away along the southern side of the tower.
It is unseasonably warm on this level and the massive circular room smells foul. You feel the heat before stepping on to the level's landing. The high roof is lost in a darkness of crisscrossing rafters. A portion of the northern part of the roof, away from the stairs, has collapsed. You can see the twilit sky above. There is a system of rails attached to the underside of the central rafter, which leads from one side of the tower to the other. A heavy-looking iron cauldron hangs from the rail by chains over a sputtering, smoky fire. To one side is a pile of round rocks and pile of wood for burning. A weapons rack and three barrels stand nearby on the other side of the firepit. The floor is covered in a slick white coating.
Aureus motions for quiet and crouches down near the alcoves opening to take in the whole room.
Then you hear it. First it is like a hissing sound. Then two rook-harpies appear near the opening in the roof. They squawk at you in anger and hop back and forth on the rafters. They cackle and shriek at you but do not wing to attack.
Aureus looks at the rooks and then her ears perk up. She growls and motions to the ceiling above you all. "More up! Arm-bush!"
OOC: Search check (for traps on the stairs) > 1d20+13=20, Listen check > 1d20+14=24, Spot check > 1d20+14=21, Initiative roll > 1d20+4=17 | Rook harpies (above the PCs): Initiative roll > 1d20+2=16; Rook harpies (other two): Initiative roll > 1d20+2=12

Quinn curses and spits. "Yes, I see them" He unleashes his chain. How far to the nearest rook in the rafters?

The rooks are too high, up in the rafters, for Quinn to hit them. He bides his time and waits for them to come to him.
Phar takes note of where Aureus is looking. He can only see shadowly parts of the rooks, but he aims and fires his bow at what he believes is the middle of one of the beasts. His arrow flies up into the rafters and finds its target. He knows this since one of the beasts caws in pain then hisses. A good hit.
Aureus readies her own blade and stands next to Phar to watch his back.

Three rooks wing in from the darkened rafters to attack the adventurers.
The second rook wings down at Phar. The creature has Phar's arrow protruding from its gut. It reaches for the elven evoker and tries to grab a hold of him with its wings beating frantically. Phar can tell that the beast wishes to lift him up off the floor to the rafters above.
The third of the winged horrors drops and slashes at Caerth with its own dagger, but the druid easily avoids the strike.
OOC: Aureus' attack > 1d20+8=12 (miss) | First rook > 1d20+7=24 (hit), Damage > 1d4=2 | Second rook > Grapple attempt vs. Phar (1d20+7=24) | Third rook's attack > 1d20+7=11 (miss)
The rook drops towards Aureus to try to stab the hutaakan rogue with a dagger. Before it strikes, Aureus slashes out with her own blade, but she fails to judge her timing. The rook slices Aureus' shoulder with its jagged blade.

Phar smashes the rook in the face with the end of his bow, "Enough of that!"

After avoiding the rooks attack, Caerth grabs his spear and gives a powerful surge forwards, attempting to pierce the creatures defences with his mighty weapon.

A spiked chain come flying and flashing through the shadows, aiming at the first rook to come within range. the first attack rips flesh and feathers causing it to veer unexpectedly making his second attack a wild miss.
Attack: 1D20+14 = [10]+14 = 24
1D20+8 = [3]+8 = 11
Damage: 2D4+7 = [1, 2]+7 = 10

Attack of opportunity
As the chain whips with deadly intent through the air, whistling its song of death! A rook wings in to stab at someone but moves right into the field of reach of the spiked chains of links.
Attack of opportunity: 1D20+14 = [14]+14 = 28
once again feathers and flesh are flung through the air eliciting a squawk of defiance from the foul fowl !!

"Gah! they're come to take me! they want my heart and brains! " Suddenly the gladiator drops his weapon and runs away screaming in terror!
