A quick study right there shows that it is not so much the mummies but special magical bandages, that cause this effect. As they still burn with that weird flame while the mummies are destroyed. And it's a single use item as becomes clear once the flames go out after a minute.
Grergof quickly glaces around the room/bodies looking for anything valuable.
Then he looks at the door in the back of the room.
Shall we keep going?
Who needs healing?
"I need some healing. But I also can channel some, or should I save it to harm undead?" Darius asks.
I can heal myself, so heal yourself and we can move on.
Spugnoir taps Darius with his wand
DR helps nothing against cold damage. You'd need cold resistance for that.
Spugnoir checks the door for DEATH!
Darius does some prayers to heal himself.
The door is again not trapped visibly. Behind it are stairs that wind down into darkness.
As you take the first steps you hear whispers ...
Oh no! Here we go again! AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"What the, ... oh no!" Darius hits Spugnoir with a dispel magic. Then he runs down the stairs to get away from that haunt.
AWOOOOO! Spugnoir runs on all fours to chomp on the cleric.
Grergof heals himself as he runs down the stairs trying to get out of the whispers.
Grergof runs a far as he can down the stairs.
The groups runs into some sort of foyer. Battered wooden doors hang ajar in the intersecting hallways of this dormitory, each exposing a simple unkempt cell beyond. Four humanoid skeltons, each held together by a writhing pink mass that rests where the intestines would belong, turn and charge.
Abomentolor follows Spugnoir, that is chasing Darius. As he notices the new company, he lets theundead run into a fireball.
Those are very agile undead. But they take damage from the fire. Two of them reach the group and lash out with their 'tongues' at Grergof.
Grergof starts bashing at the Mohrgs that are near him.
Is there no end to the abominations here?
I need to build a big bomb to wreck this place.
The first skelton thing is destroyed immediately the second one is badly damaged by the hits of the ravenhead.
Two more of them approach. One claws at Grergof, and Spugnoir gets licked by one of the skeletons.

Spugnoir steps back and throws two Holy Bombs at the skelly that licked him.
Holy Bombs When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it deal good divine damage. Evil creatures that take a direct hit from a holy bomb must succeed at a Fortitude save or be staggered on their next turn. Against neutral creatures, holy bombs deal half damage, and such targets are not affected by their staggering effect. Holy bombs have no effect on good-aligned creatures. DC 21
Darius raises his holy symbol and call to Iomedae to destroy these undead.
Spugnoir hits the skelly with one of the bombs, but misses with the other. The holy energy washes from Darius over all and further damages the undead.
Abomentolor steps back and shoots fire at the most damaged skeletons.
Both undead are destroyed.
Grergof smashes on the last of the undead that is near him.
Yes, one big bomb is exactly what this place needs!
Grergof destroys the thing. And once again you stand in the middle of broken bones and goo.
If we could bomb this place I would. But I have a feeling we have to do this the hard way.
He looks around for a minute and then gestures at the stairs ahead and small passage to the right.
Can anyone scout down those halls or do we just pick one path?
I can try to be sneaky. Spugnoir tip toes while keeping a look out
To make sure Spugnoir comes back in one piece, Abomentolor hits him with a greater invisibility.
Spugnoir sneaks off to check the next room. Tremendously complicated alchemical equipment crowds the wooden tables in this chamber, all condensing some thick, black fluid. Iron spikes impale several drained corpses to the walls, their bodies sprouting leaky hoses filled with vile ichor.
Some undead skeletal guy works feverishly to infuse energies into two bizarre alchemical constructs seemingly created from the lab’s spare parts, their large brass bodies containing fluid-filled tubes and cylinders.
Spugnoir sneaks back to tell everyone what he saw.
Want me to smash, or does someone want to be less obvious.
Let's stick with what we know. Although I might be able to use all that alchemy equipment to blow this place up.
"Ugh, I hate constructs." Abomentolor fumes. "I'll skip that one."
We best hit the undead fast and hard before it can command those constructs. I am all set
"I can do magic on you before we go in. Anyone interested?" Abomentolor offers.
If you can make me faster, that might work to smash the undead quickly.
All set here
Abomentolor hits Grergof with a haste spell.
As the group enters the laboratory the undead alchemist is ready. The golems stand lined up to block passage.
Not wanting to get involved into the fight, Abomentolor casts greater invisibility on Gregof, and then reteats into one of the many nooks in the corridor.
The golem throws a bomb at Darius, who is engulfed in fire.

Spugnoir threads the needle and aims two holy bombs at the alchemist.
Grergof puts away his mace and shield and pulls out his flail.
"Ouch. Stop that. Tell your oversized toys to stand down!" Darius demands. He shoots the undead with a ray of searing light.
With Grergof out of sight he doesn't want to stand in the front row and also moves into hiding. "Get out of here Spugs."
All attacks hit bulls eye. Those attacks combined would take out most enemies, but this one still stands. But he imbibes one of his alchemical extracts and disappears from sight.
The other golem also throws a bomb. The resulting explosion doesn't case fire, but shocks Spugnoir with electricity.
Abomentolor moves into sight again and casts black tentacles on the area, where the undead was and the golems are.
An angry curse is heard as the tentacles appear. "Kill that mage!" The golems are unimpressed by the tentacles, and do as told. The bomb hits Abomentolor square on the chest, but it explodes in fire, which has little effect on the gnome.
Spugnoir retreats north.
