Kat drinks her extract of Shield quickly then moves up with her spear, entering her usual Snake Style.
Standard to drink, swift to enter Snake Style, move to move
The earth elementals report, "Yo Theo! They're movin'" One appears from behind the lip of the entrance to the plaza. The gugs patiently wait for their moles to pop.

Rocky and Rocky 2 pop their heads up out of the ground and form tongue-like appendages to stick out of a hole in their heads. But Rocky gets too close and the nearest gug bites it, crumbling the small elemental into pieces.

Kat rushes up to the front, her spear at the ready, and studies the closest gug.
Both the creatures move forward abandoning the pretense of stealth as they loudly crush bones underneath their unnatural gait. The first gug swipes at Kat, and to her credit she nearly escapes in time, but the blow smashes into her chest knocking the wind out of her and into a nearby pillar where she falls to the ground. Awesome blow into pillar which also knocks Kat prone. Rowan manages to duck at the last second and the creature merely knocks a large chunk of stone out of one of the pillars.

I need to take one of those monstrosities out of the fight for a few moments! Mara flew around a pillar and concentrated, her eyes turning pitch black, and the color draining from her. Colorful, hypnotic lights appeared behind and around the gugs. "Don't threaten the ones fascinated by the lights!", she implored her allies.

If Dervak uses his Pugnacious trait for an extra 5' of reach, then combined with Long Arm and Enlarge, this is 20'. Looks like he could hit Blue, although I assume it has cover from the pillars.
Will wait on the saves vs Rainbow Pattern.

"HAA! That's for Rocky!"
Dervak reaches out an impossible distance and strikes at Blue. As they probably have cover, he will use Destined Strike on the primary to ensure at least something hits.

@GM *sigh*, no, you got it all
Kat stands up, her pride more than a little wounded. She then steps back to leave room for Dervak to move forward into the pillars, readying an attack if one of the gugs moves within range.
Dervak reaches around the pillar with his weapon with his exceptionally long and flexible arms and the scimitar slices through the creature's thick hide and fur. The wound sprays ichor nearby, but if the menace is slowed down it doesn't show.
Rowan steps up to the nearest gug and unleashes his inner tiger. In a flurry of blows Rowan hammers the gug over and over. One strike must have hit an exceptionally vulnerable spot as the creature doubles over in pain. Two attacks hit, stunning fist works and it's stunned for 1 round.
The other gug lunges at Dervak trying to tear into him but the bloodrager's defenses hold. But several of his illusory copies wink out of existence as the claws come dangerously close.

Kat rushes up and around the eastern side of the northeastern pillar so she can get into position to attack the northern gug while still leaving room for Dervak. She should have enough movement with haste to get up there without provoking
Kat is able to fake out the gug as she moves behind the pillar and appears on the other side meeting the monstrosity with the business end of her spear. With the gug off balance and over extending itself Dervak is able to land every single blow, but the thing does not slow in the slightest for it’s injuries.
Just as the other gug comes to Rowan bashes it again in what must be a sensitive area and it doubles over unable to move or react. Dervak’s defensive stance pays off again as the creature disrupts another image.

If red is still up....
Kat takes a careful step backwards, using the momentum to counter-balance a mighty stab right towards the gug's vitals.
If she hits, she will discharge her studied combat to do a studied strike Attack with Merciful Longspear (heroism, haste, studied combat, power attack):1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 31 Damage (studied combat, power attack, merciful, studied strike):1d8 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 + 6 + (1) + (3, 5) = 25
If Dervak has downed red....
Kat takes a careful step forwards, studying the other gug and attacking it.
Same as above, except 8 less damage from not doing a studied strike
Hexes fly free as Dervak, Kat, and Rowan lay into the otherworldly creatures. Both are taken down in short order, still quite alive but unconscious from their accumulated wounds. Combat over.
The Plaza:
This plaza is a large cave with strange stone buildings built into the walls. Cracked bones of numerous shapes and sizes cover the floor, piled into grisly, jagged dunes. A solid square building juts from the bones in the center of the plaza, surrounded by a low circular wall of gray stone. The sound of fighting can be heard echoing from the other skirmishes between ghouls and gugs.

How's the illumination in the plaza?
Mara flew forward saying, "Let's check out the square building!" She continued to chant.
Move action: Fly forward, Move Action: Chant. Haste round 4/7 Trying to make the most of the Haste, and keep the Fortune hexes going. There are supposed to be two more gugs around here somewhere!

Theo finds nothing out of the ordinary in the piles of bones stacked as high as his waist and the single door leading into the mausoleum. No one senses any nearby gugs.

"Can someone check the door?", Mara asked, keeping up her chant.
GM discretion as to how long Mara can chant to keep Dervak and Rowan's Fortune Hexes going. RAW there's no limit, but that seems silly.
My suggestion would be something like 5 minutes.

Dervak ends his Rage when the last Gug falls and takes a few moments to rest while Theo searches. 4 rounds used, 8 rounds rest needed.
"Any reason we are keeping these things alive? If they have a healer among their number who comes along and finds them, we would be in a great deal of trouble. This is a war."

Flicking a bit of dust off his hat, the gentleman smiles at Dervak.
But; it is not our war. We only need the skull from these nasty ghouls. Allowing two evil species to slaughter each other is well and fine; but, siding with one seems not our goal.
Kat feels the temperature drop as she draws near the mausoleum door. Out of the corner of her eye she sees a ghostly hand reaching out from the door, but if she tries to focus on it, it disappears.

Kat holds up a hand for the others to halt.
”Did anyone else see that? The hand coming from out of the door?”
Does she think this is a magical trap of some sort? Or something else?

Kat slips a little and accidentally touches the door. Two spectral hands reach out from the doors and grasp Kat's arms draining the energy from her. 20 negative energy and 3 str damage. At least Kat thinks it's safe to open the door now.
