The creatures at K9 and L5 are skeletons, a not intelligent form of undead that shares traits with others of their kind: Undead Traits. A skeleton has some resistance to all weaponry, except bludgeoning weapons.
Monster at G9 - DC6 Knowledge (Religion):
The creature at G9 is a zombie, a not intelligent form of undead that shares traits with others of its kind: Undead Traits. A zombie has some resistance to all weaponry, except slashing weapons.
Monster at H6 - DC6 Knowledge (Religion):
The creature at H6 is a ghoul, an intelligent form of undead that shares traits with others of its kind: Undead Traits. A ghoul can paralyse with its attacks, luckily for Wyeth, elves are immune to its effects.
Marduk:
You estimate that you have roughly the same chance to execute a combat maneuver against either of the monsters at B9 or K9. The chance to perform a successful maneuver is slightly less then 50% (12<CMD<17) for both
Everyone: Tables are higher ground and can not be 5ft stepped on from the ground. In my opinion difficult terrain is to harsh a classification, but I also can see the merit in Silas's suggestion. Doest this approach seem reasonable?
@Saitama: that is a miss
@Silas: damage please, your ranged touch attack hits (I assume that was a bomb)
Waiting for Coronoides post until this evening (GMT), after that he will be delaying.

Assuming Marduk hasn't been killed by this time..
Marduk takes a big hit and he coughs. But he looks angry too.
Bracing his right fist, he lets it go into the skeleton in front of him.
Fist to the skeleton.:1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 2 = 20 Dmg:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Crit check:1d20 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 6 Extra dmg:1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5 Bummer.
+2 extra crit is trait for checks from unarmed or monk weapons.
+1 extra dmg is Vengeful, +1 dmg to last creature that dealt you dmg
"Feel my fist! HRAAH!"
As for the 2nd action:
Marduk drinks his potion of CLW if he hasn't been healed.
Drink potion:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
If he Hasbeen healed in some way, he will aid other=> Wyeth.
Ranger 1 - Init +1; Perception +6 - AC 14; touch 11; flat-footed 13 - hp 13 - Fort +4, Ref +3, Will +2
Coronoides draws his bow and lets loose an arrow at the emaciated corpse - feeling a little foolish that these creatures were able to get the jump on him, when he was the one that was trying to be vigilant.
Attack:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d8 ⇒ 1
Having let the first arrow go, Coronoides is aware he rushed the shot and takes a deep breath to calm himself.
Silas throws a bomb at the bronze legionnaire, although it detonates with a load noise and the monster's bronze armor is now blacked by soot the legionnaire is not deterred, it still moves closer to Silas. The ever vigilant Saitama manages to throw a quick punch at the creature as it tries to move past him to get to Silas. That punch is enough to bring the creature down!
Coronoides struggles with his bow, he manages to launch an arrow, but it flies up into the roof. Saitama is elated that he felled the hulking bronze monstrosity, could it be that this elating makes his next punch at the Osiran go wide?
Marduk is focussed, he takes a good look at his opponent and sees an opening in its ribcage. He punches his cestus through that hole and manages to grab the spine of the skeleton. Then it is just the simple matter of pulling back his hand. With a terrible crunch the skeleton goes down in a pile of bones.

I assume that with your 2nd action you meant your round 2 action? If not then please (re)read the bit about Action Types in the chapter Combat. In particular this sentence is of importance:

In a normal round, you can perform a standard action and a move action, or you can perform a full-round action. You can also perform one swift action and one or more free actions. You can always take a move action in place of a standard action.
Both drinking a potion and attacking are standard actions, so normally not allowed in the same round

Wobbling on his feet, Wyeth takes an unsteady step away from the mummy. (5' step to J6)"క్యూర్ కాంతి గాయాలు!" he intones as he makes a sweeping motion, bringing one hand to his own opposite shoulder.
Cure Light Wounds=>Self:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Meh. But I'll take it!
Saitama, you can cast CLW at range? I so need to learn that from you!

Whoops! I got my avatar's mixed up... confused yours for Sterelin's! Although I could have the Reach spell feat... Incidentally, this also means I went to guard the wrong target <_< Such is Int 7 it seems!
Action correction
Saitama, in an act of honor befitting Irori, moves recklessly to his fallen comrade to apply mighty healing!

GM
Spoiler:
Pardon me. No i'll not take that potion just yet then.
If Marduk is still standing by the time his turn comes around.
Move: he walks up to the skeleton that did in Sterelin and prepares.
Attack:
Marduk pits forth his elbow, holding the fist of the arm in the palm of his other hand, he thrusts it at the skeleton.
Wyeth takes a step back and heals himself, casting the spell is hard, but he manages to close his wounds. The skeleton that dropped Sterelin now has a juicy target just one step away, so it closes with Wyeth and swings the ivory club in a wide arc. Luckily for Wyeth he misses!
The mummified Osirion creature attacks Saitama and inflicts horrendous wounds on the Iroran Priest! Just as with Wyeth earlier, Saitama is just barely able to remain standing. Marduk closes with the skeleton and makes short work of it with a thrust of his elbow.

Marduk sees the ghoul is still busy with his companions.
He thinks back on a lesson on of his seniors had told him.
"Sometimes it is effective to make your fist come from an unexpected angle."
The only angle not immediately visible to the ghoul........the back.
Maybe Wyeth's person would count as "cover", with Wyeth in front of Marduk from the ghoul's perspective.
Stealth to move to J5.

Hmm... try to neutralize the threat, or help Sterelin?
1d100 ⇒ 38
A growl grows deep in Wyeth's throat as he brings his fauchard down and lunges at the abomination that attacked him, sweeping the weapon sharply at the last instant.
Wyeth's weapon makes a deep gash in the creature's body. A second it seems as if it had no effect, then the undead abomination drops on its knees, now truly dead.
Combat is over! After less than 30 seconds have passed, Saitama feels that he is able to move his limbs and the paralysis effect is gone.

Marduk wipes the bonedust from his fist and elbow as he looks around.
"By Irori, i told you it wouldn't be a surprise.
But we all are still alive, that's what matters.
Wyeth, you did a good number on the ugliest of them all.", he said with a smile.

"Thank you, Marduk," replies Wyeth as he reflexively checks his blade for blood to be wiped off... and finds none. "But there were several mighty hits about, I thought."
He kneels next to Sterelin and places a hand on his shoulder after a sweeping motion. "క్యూర్ కాంతి గాయాలు!"
Cure Light Wounds=>Sterelin:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"Does anyone else know the healing arts? Saitama needs tending to. I can only do this a few times before I'm spent... and we've barely entered the first room."

Coronoides looks up at the ceiling and then back at his bow. He fiddles needlessly with the yew as if his efforts will make subsequent arrows more accurate.

"Easy, friend; rest a moment. We were jumped by a pack of undead. They did a fair bit of damage, catching us off guard as they did. But they're dealt with now."
"I've a wand, it uses devil blood, so if you are a quavering moralist try to think of it as turning your foes power against them. If its any help think of it as my blood - I certainly donate for the purpose - and I am not evil, perhaps not good..." Raising a brow he extends the wand offering its aid to anyone still injured.
Infernal healing wand, will heal 10hps over 1 minute 1 per round. Please let me know if you want a charge :) Silas will happily use chartges for any amount of damage to keep his trusty meat shields going! ;)

"I see no harm in your aid, Mr. Silas!", coughs Saitama, his chest heaving in pain with each breath.
One charge please; I have 2 potential CLWs as well as a pot of clw, but I'd rather save the former for combat and the latter in case the heal capable half go down somehow!

"Bah! Devil or angel, evil or good, I'll take a boon from any quarter. If you can afford to, Silas, I'm barely standing."
"I could tend to my own wounds, but if I don't exhaust myself healing -- and we're not caught unawares next time -- I can call for Cayden's blessings to true our aim and strengthen our spirit when next we must fight."
Not too keen on the "meat shield" concept though... except when I'm behind one, of course. ;o)

Sterelin invokes his own wand of Infernal Healing upon himself. Whole again, he still rubs at his head as if confused. "I don't even remember a fight... Must have struck my head or something. Ah well, let us continue."

Coronoides almost feels guilty that he didn't take any damage in the fight. Not that it'll encourage him to put himself forward to lead the line at the next encounter - which if anything makes him feel slightly worse.
In the hall one corpse did not reanimate. A Mwangi warrior, his body preserved in hot mud, stands against the wall of the exhibit hall. In his hands he clutches a bone-handled kukri with a jadecarved blade.
When you enter the office you see the same as you saw from outside: the door to this chamber was once a pane of expensive frosted glass, which now lies in broken shards on the floor. Within, several desks lie overturned, papers in disarray, and chairs smashed to kindling. A sturdy steel cabinet sits against the back wall, its doors much battered and dented.
The mist here roils near the floor and ceiling, creating a strange patch of visibility stretching from knee-height to a few feet overhead. The smoky tendrils flow up and down the walls unnaturally and savage visages swirl to life, fanged mouths agape, before dissolving into mist once more.
Dropping from the mists above your heads, two furry half-beasts, half-men suddenly appear before you! They wear ink- and blood-stained scraps of scribe outfits and savage, murderous expressions. Wisps of mists clinging to the hairy forms make them look like demons from the Abyss. They drop on both sides of Coronoides, one of them assaults him succesfully (4 damage) while the other focusses its attention on Sterelin, slamming its fist hard in his face (3 damage).

Way to neutralize a reach weapon in the surprise round, GM! :oP
Wyeth starts in surprise as the beastmen drop from the ceiling, both of them immediately next to him! "SPREAD OUT!" he shouts to his comrades.
Quickly switching his fauchard off to his left hand, he draws his mace (MA). Seeing Silas, Sterelin, and Coronoides at the most risk, he hauls back and swings at the creature closest to the door. (SA)
Silas attempts to dodge away from his foe without success, offering the thing a chance to strike as he moves back through the doorway, but the creature misses to his relief! Turning back to the combat he stabs at the creature with his glaive, and to his evident surprise amanges to score a hit, his weapon coming away drenched in gore!

Posting ahead of time to be sure I don't hold anyone up...
Coronoides reels from the blow and in one fluid motion grabs his greatsword with both hands and swings at the nearest furry creature. His rage at being caught surprised yet again channeled into the long yet controlled swing.
Not wanting to strike at a helpless target, Saitama then shouts, "A smiting to you for you have been naughty!", deftly moving in to strike at the remaining foe.
