You both made your will saves however, and realize that ALL the plants are all illusory! The water inside is as crystal clear as the rest, and more importantly, there’s a large, uh, Fish Folk (image) waiting just inside the arch near Stelle, waiting for someone to come through.
It sees both of you, but does not react as it assumes, due to the hallucinatory terrain, that you cannot see it. It seems to be waiting patiently to attack whomever comes in the northern portal. It is large, and likely has reach due to size (it’s spear does not give it extra reach as spears are not reach weapons, so you can safely assume a 10’ reach at best).
Stelle, you can close and attack once if you wish as you have a standard action and a bit of move left. Anubis can swim under the arch (swim DC 10) and you ride on top just until you get through the portal. The Fish Folk is 5’ under the water. So Stelle, you could even be in the air above it, attacking through the water without penalty thanks to Kosei’s Freedom of Movement spell.
Anubis sees the plants, and so cannot see more than 5’ in front of him. He can however make a save each round to see through the illusion, at a +4 as Stelle is pointing out the clarity of the water.
Kosei, you also have a standard action left this round also if you care to use it to close, cast a spell, or whatever else you wish.
Both of you see just the one creature in the room. Oh, and there's a pillar underwater, likely another scrivener's pillar from the look of it, though you'll need to get closer to say for sure.

Stelle turns to Florence and says, "Oh, well... There's absolutely nothing here except a bunch of seaweed."
While she is speaking she shakes her head, curves her fingers and touches the heels of hands together and snaps them back in forth like the maw of a ravenous beast. She then moves them apart palms out, and flips them like fins. She then points to the submerged door way before shooting through it on Anubis' back.
There are shark people beyond!
Hope that lowers their guard for a few seconds!
Stelle instructs Anubis to shoot through the doorway ( ) past and above the horrifying shark people.
From five feet above the water, Stelle stabs at the toothy menace below.
for
Damnit, where's a harpoon when you need one?!
Florence moves toward the arch and casts detect magic. There is magic in Florence’s arc, and it’s not Stelle as Florence gets there before her. Zilchus moves down to the southern passage. Stelle moves up to the arch/portal, peers through, and stabs away, without success. Kosei swims through the arch, looks around, returns to report, and then returns.
The Fish takes an AoO, or possibly a readied attack, as Stelle moves into position. He stabs firstly at Anubis, struggling in the plant-life, and swimming.
and Fort DC 23 (poison) if failed,
The Fish Folk ducks Stelle’s attack easily, though he thrashes about in the water in anger. He 5’-step/swims (because he can) a little deeper and casts a spell, which is easily seen as a Control Water spell by its effect - raising the water to the ceiling in the entire chamber! Everything past the arch is now water from the floor at -20’ to the ceiling at +10’ from the ‘former’ surface. Water is pouring into the two outer chambers through the now underwater arch.
So to clarify, the inner room is, from floor to ceiling, underwater. So the new reference point is the bottom of the pool and I’m going to note where everyone is from that perspective. Fish-face is standing on the bottom of the now 30’ deep pool. Anubis and Stelle are 25’ up, so they’re 15’ away from Fish-face (so a 5’ swim and Stelle is within reach, though Anubis can’t 5’ step underwater of course). Kosei is 15’ up from the floor of the pool and also underwater.
Note that everyone can hold their breath for double their con score in rounds. However, doing almost anything during the round takes up two ‘rounds’ of breath. So really you have your con in rounds before drowning ensues. Please keep track.
Kosei and Stelle have seen this, so for the others when you can see the inner chamber: Seawater fills this chamber, and long, snaky lengths of huge plants grow to the ceiling, thirty feet above the floor. Beyond, a crystalline sapphire pyramid floats submerged at the western end of the room 20’ up, surrounded by glowing lights, though it’s hard to see through the heavy plant cover. In fact, proper visibility is reduced to 5’ it’s so thick. You just caught a glimpse of the crystal pyramid through the greenery.
Anyone who enters the chamber, please make a Will save. If you have made it, no need to make it again.

If you’re close enough (assuming you failed the save) or if you made the save, you see the Fish Folk (link) battling with Stelle and Anubis.

Upon seeing the water wall of watery waterness in front of him, Zilchus casts Freedom of Movement and moves under the arch and towards the chaos.
He carefully moves through the arch and into the seaweedy domain, trusting Kosei's Life Bubble keeping him breathing.

Florence double moves into position to see what’s going on (you can move a little further, air walking to the portal and then swimming down, if you wish). Zilchus casts Freedom of Movement and enters the water. (What’s your ‘altitude’ from the bottom or do you sink to the bottom? If you’re not ‘walking’ along some surface (wall/floor/ceiling), you’re still swimming I think though air walk does complicate things.) Stelle is able to convince Anubis to see more clearly as she angles him closer to the target and attacks, connecting and drawing first blood on the beast (no DR). Kosei also connects, though he does no damage (DR) and comes no where near grappling the large and writhing fish even if he had. Further, as it’s a natural weapon, he takes from the spikes on the fish's body.
Zilchus, you may make another DC 22 Will save (each round you’re in the chamber I think).
- - -
Opening his mouth wide as he gulps water through his gills, the Fish Folk concentrates briefly, and the waters around him, and indeed in the whole chamber including Florence’s area, begins to boil!
Fort DC 27 for half.
Interestingly, while the ability doesn’t state it specifically, it’s clearly ‘fire’ damage of a sort. So your still current resist fire 30 will apply, so no need to make a save. The fish takes no damage as well from the ability. The fish does not like that you avoid it, and grips his spear with fury as the water boils around him.

Kosei crocs painfully with the creature's body spikes. Seeing his jaws being noneffective and the creature comfortable under fire, he tries casting frigid touch while diving down 5' and attempts to snap at the fish with his tail to deliver the spell.
An armband of the golden serpent allows its wearer to cast spells with the range of touch in melee combat without provoking attacks of opportunity
When you cast a polymorph spell that changes you into a creature of the animal, dragon, elemental, magical beast, plant, or vermin type, all of your gear melds into your body. Items that provide constant bonuses and do not need to be activated continue to function while melded in this way (with the exception of armor and shield bonuses, which cease to function). Items that require activation cannot be used while you maintain that form. While in such a form, you cannot cast any spells that require material components (unless you have the Eschew Materials or Natural Spell feat), and can only cast spells with somatic or verbal components if the form you choose has the capability to make such movements or speak, such as a dragon. Other polymorph spells might be subject to this restriction as well, if they change you into a form that is unlike your original form (subject to GM discretion). If your new form does not cause your equipment to meld into your form, the equipment resizes to match your new size.

Zilchus can’t find the combat well, foolishly unable to find the fight in the madness.

Florence tries an ear piercing scream though, unfortunately, the creature is able to avoid it (SR). Zilchus tries for a critical hit, but doesn’t quite follow through on the backswing - still a palpable hit none the less. Stelle stabs downward and skewers the fish once. Kosei finishes the round by staggering the target and doing some high powered damage for the strength of the spell! (It does have SR though you beat it. Also, I think that’s an ‘always on’ effect, so it does work while you’re in other forms.)
Florence tells you much of what you already know about your opponent. For the details…

Oh, Kosei, no need to make the strength save. The poison would have rubbed off in Anubis and he has not yet had time to re-poison the spear.
"Caviar, anyone?"
Stelle continues to lance away.

Kosei grins as the spear gets stabbed into him.
Without more touch spells to deliver, the crocodile revolves over himself, diving down for flanking and attacking at the fish, but this time trying to strike more powerfully.
Actually Zilchus, the way it’s written in the AP, you’ve total concealment beyond 5’, and none at 5’ and I presume from your post that you’re closing, so you’re all good. Also, you can make another Will save to disbelieve if you wish as you are clearly interacting with the illusion.
Florence provides good fortune for Zilchus who connects twice as he finally gets a good close up view of the Fish Folk, though he fails to critical. Stelle also comes close to a critical, but also fails at the last moment though she too deals a solid blow. Kosei, nicely immune to poison, tries hard to fight back, feeling a little of the blood lust of his form in the bloody water, but his piranha strike causes a miss as he just grazes the fish.
The party pounds on the poor ghawwas div as bits of fresh sushi fill the water around them.
The div focuses on Kosei, some part of its raging brain knowing to drop those you wound before moving on. He lashes out with everything he’s got!

Unsure of what just happened, Kosei attempts to impose his healing hands, or tail, on himself, while he tries to blurb something through the water "Bllrrr wasr itrrrl???"
Round 9
Zilchus looks around for the foe, then moves back out of the main water room.
Know (religion) Perception
"Okwwrr" Kosei attempts to talk through the waters "Go checkwwwr fowwwwrr himmmwwr out. Iwwwrr willrr trywwwwrr activate thewwwwr pyramidwwwwrrr"
Kosie-crocodile swims towards the pyramid, checks for any traps or the appearance of the big fish, tries to decipher the object and assuming it works similarly to the others, he uses thunderstomp as the magic to trigger the pyramid's power.
"WAIT!" yells Stelle through her air bubble gallop-swimming after Kosei Croc. "Can someone dispel all the extra water the shark people created before you electrocute us all?!"
Florence let’s everyone know what’s up before looking about carefully - though she finds nothing of particular interest. Zilchus moves back out to the passage but doesn’t see anything. Stelle swims toward Kosei who heals himself a bit - though he has not yet cast any spells or activated the pyramid as we’re still in rounds.
Suddenly, the water in the chamber you’re in drops out completely as if Stelle's wish was granted! All the water, all the way up to the stone-block doors has been lowered to a few inches. As you are air walking you suffer no ill effects, and remain at your existing altitudes though the room is now empty of water. Had you not been air walking, you’d be taking falling damage, and have some difficulty leaving the chamber as the walls are sheer, and slippery.
The crystal pyramid floats in mid-air 20’ up. The lowering of the water also exposes the scrivener’s pillar for this pyramid. We remain in rounds.
EDIT: Stelle and maybe Florence can just see your fishy nemesis through the arch. However, Stelle does not have a charge lane as the arch is somewhat in the way at her altitude (you need to go down 5' to clear the arch, then back up to close with fishy). He looks very angry that his cunning plan did not work.
Stelle air-"floats" into a charge lane and pretends not to see the Shark People.
"Ah, well! No more water -- thanks whoever did that!"
Round 10
Zilchus continues to wander, looking for the foe.
”Hey, it’s out here!”
Florence slides casually by Stelle, granting her Fortune. Zilchus double moves and bellows its location. Stelle tries a more subtle approach as she change position. Kosei now activates the pyramid.
The pyramid activates with a brief flash of light as the motes surrounding it sparkle brightly. The fish folk notice however, and bellow ”Yolp!” - clearly angered by the activation.
With a gesture (standard action), the water level rises again - back to the original height of 20’ (so the room is now 0-20’ water, 20’-30’ air. He squeezes through the entry and dives into the water (move action) heading toward Kosei though Stelle is in the way.
It’s clear he can now see, though he’s still glittery.
After activating the pyramid and the water rises, Kosei swims comfortably to the northern wall, and from there he conjures stone discuss that he launches as torpedoes towards the big fish.

As Florence passes by and touches her, Stelle feels tingly all over. "Thank you! This is what peppermint must feel like!"
”Hey, it’s out here!”

"You're both about as subtle as a rabid dog!"

Florence tries to hold the monster, but SR protects him. Zilchus herds the fish into Stelle who piles on the blows, very nearly dropping it when Kosei criticals, finishing it off!
The water’s not still boiling, or you’d have bouillabaisse. The fish folk’s spear drifts in the water to the bottom as does his body. When you recover, you find his gear to be worth something.

The crystal pyramid is active and awaiting orders. Examining the scrivener pillar, the last commands were, "Position your vessel five miles off the coast near Totra, there to await my orders to assault either the city or the fleet of the usurper. Patience! Soon your spears shall taste blood!"
Control pyramids transfer power from the Aeromantic Infandibulum (the source of this pyramids power) to up to four other large stone pyramids, elsewhere in the sky.
Each Control Pyramid also controls the door at the bottom of the Air Crypt shaft. To open at least this portion of it, you need simply to touch the Pyramid and speak the words written on the Pyramids face in ancient Osirian, ”Open in the name of Hakotep!” as you have before.
Finally, you can use the power to control another large stone pyramid which is fueled by this one. That is tricky as it requires either a spell with the acid or earth descriptor, or a DC 20 Use Magic Device (trained) to succeed. You can take-10 on this roll in most circumstances.
- - -
With his thunderstomp spell Kosei would have ordered the pyramids to "Charge immediately with their spears down to the ground far from Totra!"
As done before the Garundi places his hand in the pyramid and orders in ancient Osiriani "Open in the name of Hakotep!"
"Do you think the trapdoor at the Air Crypt would be completely open now my friends?"
"It should, I hope," Florence nods.
Zilchus nods as well, happy to continue on. He would rest, but also thinks they can do a bit more before needing to.
"Nice work, Kosei," Zilchus spins on his heels, happy to go revisit the area of air.
The Air Crypt?
"The Air Crypt?" Stelle considers. "We should rest and figure out how best to tackle that before heading there, I think."
"Do you think the trapdoor at the Air Crypt would be completely open now my friends?"""And if so, we should probably rest again and restore our strength before pressing forward, if we can."
Stelle looks at Florence, her eyes bright. "Well, alright! I'm game, if everyone else is!"
