Freedom of Movement should negate underwater combat penalties, and Haste should give him plenty of movement to reach it. If higher ground advantage counts, add 1 to the attack.
@Kurik It's not a gas, but the water itself that burns you so the necklace of adaptation is not useful in this case.
After rereading Freedom of movement, I don't think you need a swim check. You can reach the creature.
You see the creature's wounds begining to heal, you have an AoO against it as it moves
The blasphemous creature moves out of the water
Filthy mortals! For far too long was I slave to lesser souls —those grease stains on the palms of beasts. No longer! Sweet, pitiless voracity! Yes, I have consumed them, and on the fruits of their panic I feed, and I grow, and I shall rise to heights of divine glory! Bow before a god reborn, or be the first of mortalkind to know your doom!
As the same time the god creatures concentrates and thousands of thousand of centipetes appears around Dudley while Faldoc has a senses o dread and fear in his mind!
Round 3 (bold may act)
Faldoc (may act twice) + Will DC18 or shaken Darius (must make a Will save DC22 again)
Dudley (-10HP) must make a Fort save DC22 or -2Dex + Another Fort Save DC22 or be nauseated (distraction)
Kurik (-54HP) + AoO
The creature (-77HP) underwater
Bursting out of the lake, Kurik swears a blue streak. "Whole thing is acid!" he warns, grasping his holy symbol. "Abadar, sooth the wounds of your faithful." he prays, much of the acidic burn relieved by the healing.
Sacking Remove Blindness/Deafness for maximized CSW, 34 points of healing.
@Darius you can't cast a spell, and attack if your spell is not a touch attack spell that gives you an attack.
But as this is the new year, I give you the right!
Darius transforms in a large gargoyle and flies above the water to be able to reach the creature. With a perfect strike he hits the creature But not as much as he thoughs
Faldoc seems to freeze and do nothing to help his comrades.
The creature begin to concentrates.
Round 4 (bold may act)
Faldoc Will DC18 or shaken
Darius Dudley (-35HP) must make a Fort save DC22 or lose Dex Damages:1d2 ⇒ 1 + Swim check DC10
Kurik (-20HP)
The creature (-94HP) underwater
And Kurik is hit and he senses that his wisdom is falling him.
Round 4 (bold may act)
Faldoc Will DC18 or shaken
Darius Dudley (-57HP) must make a Fort save DC22 or lose Dex Damages: 1d2 ⇒ 1 + Swim check DC10
Kurik (-42HP) (-3Drain Wisdom) + Will DC20 or shaken and lose another 1 wisdom drain
The creature (-93HP) flying next to Kurik
If he still has a standard after getting out, he will throw at the big blob again.
smite evil, point blank shot
to hit:1d20 + 27 ⇒ (19) + 27 = 46damage:1d8 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 If it seems odd that his bonus to hit and damage are changing, this is because the AOO is a melee attack, and that loses trained throw on damage, and uses str instead of dex and takes a -1 penalty from the chakram)

Darius will move 5' and attack the creature. He will use spell combat/spellstrike auto combat casting vamp touch with the extra attack. Swift action for arcane accuracy.
The creature falls into the acrid waters, but after a few moment, it reappears still alive!
You battle again for a few second until you realize that it regenerate itself quite rapidly.
It's not without try and error that you understand that you need a good aligned weapon to stop it and after another fight with it you are able to kill it for good.
Shortly after you defeats the ichor the acid begins disappearing into large drains that open on all four walls. It takes 10 minutes for the acid to drain entirely and let you explore the complex.
You are free to descend the final two platforms and explore the god lab’s floor. The drains are outfitted with suctioning devices, ensuring that any traces of acid le on the acid-resistant stairways and platforms do not threaten anyone once activated.
Although barely perceptible amounts of greenish, glistening acid cling to a few surfaces here and there, this bunker- like laboratory is surprisingly intact. The room’s steel workstations appear sterile but are arranged messily, with blocky metal desks overturned and chairs is flung askew, as if any workers here fled in a panic. To the south is a tiered platform supporting a large vat that is sunken into the floor. To the west is a heavy, riveted, industrial-grade door.
After spending 10 minutes searching the lab, you come across a closed drawer with surviving contents. The drawer contains an orange prism ioun stone and an amulet of proof against detection and location.
At last, you look at the industrial-grade door. Strangely, it's not locked as if the draining of the acid have unlocked it.
When you opens it, you are able to see Professor Inphira Kramolag slumped on the floor, dead.
Heal DC15:
Dead from air deprivation
You searches her alchemical materials and finish to find one of her contingencies: a flask containing a variant alchemist extract of speak with dead wrapped in a written message that says, In case I die, feed this to me.
This extract allows Kramolag’s spirit to converse freely and answer questions for 14 minutes, after which her soul departs to be judged.
After Dudley administer the extract, the soul of Professor Kramolag appears. see the image on the map
When Darius asks his question she says.
My plans was to kill the creature I create and finished to free itself with acid. I had enough oxygen for several hours and I don't know why it take so long to release me from my panic room.
Now, most of my work is lost as I imagine my coworkers now know nothing about what's going on here. But as I'm dead, I suppose it's not that important.

"Says the woman who couldn't stand up to her own creation." Kurik scoffs before he frowns at her phrasing. "Your coworkers, the assistants upstairs? They don't remember anything, whatever you did to them."
Of course, I've made contingency plans in case something goes wrong here. I've implant in their mind a contingency that make them forgot all they know since they got here after several hours out of this complex.
Feel free to ask all your questions in any order I will try to answer them all
That's very simple, I assumed that my colleagues would find me, and I wanted to be able to provide some accounting of what occurred. Instead I got you. Given everything else that’s gone wrong of late, I can’t say I’m really surprised.

"Why were you helping the Korholm Agenda? What information did you provide them? What did the Aspis take from your other facility? What other plans, if any, have you already set into motion?"
Kramolag's spirit grimaces. My role was strictly coerced. I had and have no interest in the Korholm Agenda beyond its use for minor field tests, and even that was my making the most of a bad situation. If I had my way— she looks around with disgust —and clearly I can’t have that, I would have wanted nothing to do with the Agenda or the hellion Suliji Peshar...
I've provided my knowledge as well as some of my research results, some subjects and facilities to help the Agenda. I don't think that the Aspis has a direct hand in this, or at least not all the Patrons.
