As Pygrado takes off Martin reaches out trying to stop the man, but is too late in grabbing the young assassin. retracting his hand he whispers to the others.
"Well, there he goes. Best wait for him to return at this point. Hold up, did he say Caladrius' party? What is that suppose to mean? No offense, but I am not your lackie Caladrius."
Pygrado sneaks ahead and around a bend in the passageway. You hear the monotone voice command, SEARCH THE ROOM. THE DRONE MUST HAVE WOUND OUT ITS TIMER SOMEWHERE IN THIS VICINITY. DESTROY IT.

Meanwhile, your prisoner remains quiet under Gareth's watchful eye.
Jamros delays until after Martin.
"Sounds like we need to hurry. And no, I don't think you're my lackeys. I'm just more noteworthy to some," Caladrius says.
"Lackeys or not, it doesn't matter!" Gareth whispers hurriedly, "We have to act, or they'll find and destroy that drone. Caladrius, watch our prisoner. If he tries anything funny, use force. On my mark, let's move!"
Before anyone can respond (apparently), Gareth whispers, "Go!"
He runs around the corner to -O 15, drawing his bow. What do I see in the room? I do have a shot to fire, but I'd like to know what I can shoot at first :P
The golems see Gareth run in and the big one swivels with incredible speed, bringing his crossbows around to aim at this latest newcomer.
In one motion, as Gareth rounds the corner, he fires a shot at the large golem.

Gareth, reeling from the many blows inflicted upon him, backs up to -N,16. He tears out the two bolts lodged in his armor and places his hand on the open wound. "Just gotta pull through here. Just gotta pull through," he mutters to himself as he channels his energy to heal his wounds. LoH:

Martin's blows are easily parried by the golem.
Jamros looses a blast of flames at the nearest golems. The one in -P13 ignites and falls.

Martin is caught in the blast zone as well, but he manages to shield himself from the worst of the blast .
Pygrado's strike skitters harmlessly off the golem's armor.
The golem in -Q11 steps to -R10 and swings at Pygrado with its pick. Luckily for him, it misses.

Acrobatics
Goddamnit yes we need some help!
Martin looks badly shaken by the cascade of blows pounding on his shield, but he still stands upright after the attack.
"Come on metal man, lets do this. Jamros, lay off the fire, and maybe give me some heals if you got em'. Gareth keep firing your arrows. And caladrius, keep watching the prisoner for now."
Martin trys to rally the troops, and uses his standard to take a total defensive (raising his AC 25. Note that in pathfinder i still provoke attacks of opporrtunies.)
Gareth looks a bit disappointed about how ineffective his arrows seem to be. "Jamros! Maybe try that wand we just found!"
He lets loose two more shots at the golem.

Having taken Pygrado out of the fray, the smaller golem moves to -P13 and swings its pickaxe at Martin, who deflects the blow with his shield.
The big golem says "I WILL REND YOU LIMB FROM LIMB. NONE OF YOU WILL THREATEN THE MASTERS." It unleashes another flurry of attacks against Martin, who handily evades or deflects the first two. The third blow, however, strikes deep into Martin's gut . Martin falls, and the golem steps south and continues to unleash its fury, this time against Jamros, who is hit once . "EVEN NOW, YOUR FRIENDS FALL."
Roll to stabilize ==> Stable at -3.
Upon seeing Martin drop, and hearing the golem express sentience, Gareth calls out, "Save your words for my arrows! With Cayden Cailean on my side, you're nothing but a worthless hunk of metal!"
