Ordrud continues to the next door and opens it into what looks like a storage room(31). It contains armor and weapon of 1 of the priests. Scale mail, a warhammer, and a small wooden shield. He opens the next door and looks into the room to the south(32) and sees an open secret door and in the room(35) beyond that, a trap door that is up.
Rask moves thru the door into a room, and as Ordrud had seen, this is a priest quarters with bed, dresser and table. Beyond is another storage area that contains leather armor, a heavy flail, and a large steel shield. Opening up the door to the north, he sees thru another open secret door and the same trap door that Ordrud saw from the north. The two men can see each other and move to the trap door. They see circular stairs heading down.

Tactical Map Updated
I just moved the other four of you back to the main room so the map is not crowded. I am "assuming" that a couple follow Rask and a couple follow Ordrud.
What are you going to do with the armor/shield/weapon that you found in the two storage rooms?

"Yes, I could use any of the weapons, shields or armor. If no one else wants them, I could use the Warhammer, the large steel shield and the scale mail armor." Anybody else wants any of those? Rask would "liberate" a Leather Armor if somebody wants it.

"I am scratched from before, although our friendly cleric patched me nearly all the way up. Gear up, and let's move quickly. No telling how many of these monsters there are."
Harek holds onto his shield, slinging his axe for the moment.

Rask equips himself and puffs.
"My father would be proud of me, all armored and heavy as he said I should be. I fell really slow now, but very cozy."
He leaves out a nice chuckle. He grabs his bow and smiles.
"Let's go!"
Now that Rask is all suited up in his new armor, and carrying the steel shield and warhammer, Ordrud leads the way down the stairs with Harek directly behind him. Reaching the floor, you see an open door to the west, and in each corner of the room a skeleton clambers to its feet and moves to attack.
Next?
Tactical Map Updated
Ordrud & Harek are on the floor level, the rest of you (Rask, Sirasa, Kazmir and Lothalian - in this order) are on the stairs coming down
Sirasa fourth in line will go after a free skeleton and attack it with her morningstar.
That is if she can move 30' prior to the attack. Otherwise, she will just engage and take the attack in the next round. She is AC 16 with Mage Armor up.
Morningstar:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d8 ⇒ 6
She surprises herself. She knows that fighting like this is not her strong point, but out of spells, she is willing to give it her best shot, or should I say best crush.

Rask will go after the last skeleton. He will probably won't reach it, but he will advance 20' towards it, and ready his attack for when the skeleton advances.
Warhammer Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Warhammer Damage:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 With Shield his AC is 20.
He surely has not gotten the swing of the warhammer yet...
Surprising herself that she made it up to a skeleton from up the stairs, Sirasa continues to surprise herself as she kills one with her morningstar. Ordrud moves straight to the nearest skeleton, and it crumbles to dust under his shield bash. Rask moves down the stairs towards the other skeleton on the south wall, and readies himself for its attack. Kazmir moves over to the slightly open secret door and readies himself in case anything comes thru. Lothalian watches as Sirasa smashed the skeleton and compliments her on her fine shot.Harek moves to the remaining skeleton and hits it with his morningstar.
The one skeleton damaged by Harek, attacks him and hits with a claw, while the other skeleton steps up and is rattled by Rask swing that it also misses.
Stepping around behind Harek, Sirasa engages the next Skeleton to her left. Though clumsy with the Morningstar, the Shoanti Woman pounds again on a Skeleton, "That was kinda fun."

Remind me not to get on your bad side Sirasa! Lothalian says as he follows the others. He then notices Harek's wounds. Harek, you look hurt. Let me call on Sarenrae for some healing for you.

Kazmir:
You hear "chittering" like from a spider
Sirasa steps up and finishes off the skeleton in front of Harek, and Ordrud steps over and finishes off the last skeleton. Lothalian heals up some of Harek wounds. You all hear a crash in the next room and a loud "argh!"

Rask stores the Warhammer and shield and gets his bow out. He follows after Harek and Ordrud.
Before the door opens, Kazmir whispers I hear a spider of sorts in there.
Ordrud and Harek open the door and as you move further into the reliquary, more undead approach — but wait, these look like more gray-skinned elves! Behind the creatures a pile of rubble surrounds a hole in the floor, from which a massive, looming spider—seemingly made completely from stone, emerges. It tests the ground inside the room and after finding it suitable, climbs into the chamber and turns toward you. Things are not looking good.
You also see Juriendor in the corner just to the south of you, being feasted on by two of the undead. He is twitching, showing that he is still alive but does not seem to be able to move.

"I hate spiders.." Kazmir mutters as the horrid scene reveals itself. The sheer numbers will overwhelm us...He reaches into his mind and recalls a spell to help.
The halfling druid casts Entangle on the horde of zombies.
Entangle is a 40 foot spread. I'd like to focus it on square AZ

Rask takes a 5' to enter the room (AY26) and quickly send a couple arrows against the spider (using Rapid Shot).
Attack 1:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Damage 1:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Attack 2:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Damage 1:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 +2 to attack and damage if it's a Magical Beast (favored enemy)
I hope I got it flat footed.

Need a Grid Point, so the horizontal line between AY & AZ, but which vertical line, please?
"Make them come to us. We hold the choke point. This will let our Cleric of Sarenrae here to do his thing. We need to protect Lothalian," Sirasa holds her position waiting for an opportunity to strike at a Zombie.
Harek quickly moves to help Juriendor and slashes at the zombie munching on the priest. Kazmir casts an entangle spell, centering just south of the spider so it covers the complete room, including Juriendor and Harek, and spills out into the room where Ordrud is caught into the web. Ordrud moves thru the entangled area with ease, and attempts to hit the other zombie chewing on the priest, but he misses. Sirasa steps up to the edge of the entangled area and waits to see if a zombie will make it thru.
The zombies, even those that are not entangled are so confused by the grassy plants pulling at them that they spend time trying to rip them off rather then move towards the group. The spider tries to break free of the vegetation grabbing its many legs but does not have the strength to do it.
Lothalian steps into the area, and is caught up in it, however he is able to call upon Sarenrae power to damage some of the zombies. Rask takes aim at the spider with his bow, but the vegetation throws off his aim and he misses.
Lothalian is entangled. Harek and Ordrud make DC 14 Reflex Saves or become entangled. The entangled area is the complete inner room (AU-BC / 18-26) and the corridor on the other side of you, and square AY27. Foes: Red dot - damaged, Red diamond - entangled.
Seeing that Saranrae's power helped him. Lothalian will again present his holy symbol. May Serenrae's light destroy these undead creatures! He repeats again.

Even though tangled, Harek manages to hit the zombie in front of him and makes it permanently dead. He also tries to drag the priest away from the corner and the other zombie that is still feasting on the near dead man and manages to drag him five feet towards him. Kazmir thinks back on his learning and tries to figure out what weakness the spider has.
Kazmir:
It is a vermin, no known weakness other than beating it to death. Its bite is particularly deadly.
Ordrud, while not tangled, misses the zombie in front of him. Sirasa takes a step and switches to her crossbow.
Two more zombies become entangled in the web, and the non-entangled ones move up closer to the group. The spider manages to break free and moves up to Lothalian and Harek.
Lothalian again calls upon Sarenrae to harm the zombies, while Rask misses the spider again with his bow.

Rask keeps firing against the spider (using Rapid Shot).
Attack 1:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Damage 1:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Attack 2:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Damage 2:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 So it is not a magical animal :(
Damn! My rolls suck!
Seeing the big spider approach, Sirasa loads a bolt and sends it toward the big arachnid. The bolt passes between its legs. The big Shoanti woman takes a step back. (AX28)
