My group liberated a town last session from the worship of an evil goddess and now she keeps sending monsters at us to try and kill everyone. Needless to say this is rather annoying. Is there any way to consecrate the town to keep her minions away?

They system is Pathfinder.

Pathfinder has it's own subforum, I recommend reporting your thread and asking to be moved there (the general Roleplaying Games forum would work, but should only be used if looking for fluff and not crunch).

The Mod Wonder: Moved. Pathfinder is a d20 product.

Consecrate (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/consecrate/) is obviously inadequate for what you need, BUT it might also be made into a magic item (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/item-creation-feats/craft-wondrous-item-item-creation-final) that would allow you more leeway, perhaps creating one or more "safe zones" around shrines. They're going to run around 12,000 a piece to buy (assuming they're constant-use items cast at 3rd level).

Hallow (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/h/hallow) is stronger and so I would use that instead. In addition to being larger in area, being undispellable and and lasting indefinitely, you can attach various other spells to it (each of which will only need to be renewed 1/year) that will only affect followers of that goddess. This can let you, for example, suffuse the town with antimagic that will only affect the enemy monsters, allowing the town's defenders unfettered access to their own spells and items, and a dimensional lock effect that lets the defenders teleport in but not the goddess' minions.

Really though, to truly stop a goddess from attacking a whole city will probably require a Ritual of some kind; I would work with your GM to develop a suitable one. These are basically large-scale custom spells that require Occult skill checks to develop and cast. It might also require venturing out to retrieve an artifact that will keep her at bay, or destroy some artifact or other force that is enabling her to interfere with the Material Plane so directly. Basically, keep in mind that the continual attacks could be your GM's way of prodding you into some course of action or back onto the plot rails.

Unless she's just randomly creating monsters nearby or she's making them migrate from across the planet to converge on this town, there's a source nearby and it'll lead to a dungeon crawl.
