As K'Kei reaches toward the boiling pot, he notices how scorching hot it is and decides not to reach out and touch.
The nose seems to hear him and two small monsters emerge from the vat. Stitched together from various demon parts, they squeal and bare their claws and fangs while stretching their wings. Clearly they are not peaceful.
K Arcana DC 15:
These creatures are eidolons. You know they are immune to fire damage, because they've been boiling in superheated blood for a while.
K Engineering or Wisdom check, DC 11:
The four chains holding up the boiling cauldron could be destroyed relatively easily. hardness 5, 10 hp each

K'Kei Hikaru, by your description says that you are looking into the cauldron but your position on the map says you are on the floor 15 feet below. I don't want to move you but I'm going with the idea that you are actually standing in the space north of B.
Shonne comes back up the steps around the support pillar, and hurls her spear between K'Kei and Bernard and at the clutching mass of limbs.
Ryskovich, isn't too surprised as something tries to attack them. He moves towards one of the ugly creatures. He than takes a swing at the enemy with his cold iron falcata. He Looks through the grate right as he swings, he gets disoriented and the balde goes well high above his intended target.
Valais stays back as the party springs into action.
I need to fix everyone's location here. I misread the map and thought the cauldron was at ground level. K'Kei should be on the platform and Bernard should be investigating the floor below. I'll let Bernard redo his round 1 actions.
Ryskovich and K'Kei quickly close into melee, but none of them are able to land a solid blow. As Shonne's spear whizzes over the critter's heads, Fuzzfoot takes this opportunity to prepare himself.
The dotted creature hisses and tries to bite and claw at his opponents.
Even is K'Kei:1d2 ⇒ 1
Claw 2:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Slashing and Fire Damage:1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 ⇒ 4
One of the claws digs into Ryskovich's skin and he feels the intense heat from the boiling liquid.
The yellow creature picks up a glob of boiling liquid and hurls it at Shonne.
Ranged Touch:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Fire Damage:2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
Ryskovich, feel the intense heat as the claw digs deep. He grimaces, but he refuses to retreat and let the enemy think they have the upper hand. He strikes out with his cold iron falcata then follows it up with his silver buckler. He hopes to catch the opponent off guard.
There's the blue dotted and the solid yellow creature. Sounds like you want to hit the blue-dashed creature.
Fuzzfoot hurls a bomb at the creatures. His aim is perfect, the creatures are caught unaware... but the flames deal no real damage besides a brief surprise.
Creatures are immune to fire.
The yellow-tinted creature hurls a handful of molten liquid at Nijena.
Ranged Touch:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 Fire Damage:2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Some of it slops on her and burns intensely.
Meanwhile, the blue dotted creature continues to slash away at Ryskovich and K'Kei.
Even is K'Kei:1d2 ⇒ 2
Female Aasimar Paladin 4 HP 40/40; AC 20; TCH 12; FF 18; F +8; R +7; W +9; CMB+6; CMD 18; Speed 30FT (20FT in armor); Init +2; Perception +5
Nijena moves over to the blob in front of her, trying to hit it from behind with her longsword yellow solid Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Crit confirm:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Damage:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
The creatures are 15 feet above the ground, but... meh. Let's keep this combat going. I'll just say Nijena held an action.
Nijena waits at the ground level, and one of the creatures flies down to greet her. She's quicker on the draw and quickly slices it with her longsword. It bites at her in retaliation.
The other creature continues flailing at its two targets.
Even is K'Kei:1d2 ⇒ 2 Bite:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Damage and Fire Damage:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 ⇒ 3
Shonne jumps, swings for a moment on the chain connecting the cauldron to the wall before snap somersaulting off, and onto the floor below. She comes up firing her bow.
3D maps are indeed confusing. If only this had a side view!
This room has 2 floors, and you entered on the top floor. The creatures you're fighting started on the top floor, near K'Kei's feet. One of them is still hovering right over the top cauldron. The lower level is 15 feet down, and the other creature is 5 feet above that fighting Nijena. Shonne just leapt down.
The scenario doesn't make it clear how the chains are holding the cauldron up. I'm going to say they start at the lip of the cauldron and end on the ceiling in the corners of the room. Attacking from the platform would be the best way to break them from melee.
Bernard's next Storm Squall isn't as lucky and misses its mark.
Shonne takes a running start and leaps down, sending some shock through her legs. Nothing a quick rest won't get rid of. She helps Nijena and fires an arrow right into the yellow eidolon's backside.
Fuzzfoot steps to the edge and spits a green glob at the red one, hoping to drop him to the ground. DC 15
Description of spell:
The DCs to counteract this adhesive (to avoid being stuck to the floor, to fly, to break the adhesive, or to cast a spell) use the spell's DC rather than a tanglefoot bag's normal DCs. The adhesive persists for 2d4 rounds after you spit it.
Fuzzfoot spits some kind of greasy substance at the critter with the blue polka dots.
Reflex Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
It hits and the creature struggles to stay afloat but maintains its height.
Ryskovich, seeing his blood flow, and the intense heat course through his body, he nearly falls over as the pain hits. He grits his teeth, refusing to go down. He does his best to attack back, while defending himself as much as possible.
Fuzzfoot helps give Ryskovich a second wind, and he's thankful for that. He holds his ground and swings at the flying creature once more. He'll hit next time!
