Horacio leaves the sphere to burn the yellow one as he calls down a quartet of holy blades of force on yellow before starting the long trek around. "May Iomedae's blade strike true!"
I believe Antonella remains nauseated while in contact with the spores, so her Fort save would be against poison, GM Lari? Please let me know if I have this wrong.
Antonella is currently nauseated and restricted to a single move action per round.
Fort vs poison:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Antonella stays hunched over and immobile – creating a low but stubborn wall to prevent the fungi from reaching the ranged attackers towards the back of the party.
"The strength of the soldier is her squad. The strength of the squad is the soldier."
With a flick of the wrist, she produces a cold iron dagger (does piercing dmg) from the folds of her sleeve and holds it up for someone else to take. (move action, does not provoke)
Bodta sees the way into the room clear, and he moves in. He can also see that Amenhotep's arrows seem to be the most effective weapon so far...so he starts throwing half-punches at one of teh globes, hoping to make the archer's shots easier.
[ooc]Aid Amenhotep's attacks. If Green is still up, it's against green. If green is down, it's against Orange.[ooc]
Aid:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 <--success
Thankful he doesn't have to spend precious time concentrating, Jorciel grabs the proffered dagger and stabs hard at the creature before him: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for DMG:1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Sparky dodges and weaves between the fungi, while Amenhotep's arrows and Jorciel's dagger continue to chip away at the nearest target.
More spores burst over the party, the browner patch focusing on the group, while the more verdant one sprays Sparky. Fort saves for everyone except Horacio Green Target:1d2 ⇒ 2
Brown v Jorciel:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Green v Sparky:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
The two fungal balls continue to bounce ineffectively.
Frustrated with her inability to contribute more effectively, and still sick to the stomach, Antonella swallows her pride and retreats 30’ into fresher air in an attempt to relieve her condition before returning to the fight.

Brown is probably dead now. The map is mostly filled in so we might be nearly done. I have a game Dec 3rd that I wouldn't mind playing Sparky in if that is possible.
Sorry. Had less time over the long weekend than I expected. Should be back to normal now. Update tomorrow morning, but you will be out of combat. Anyone with a preferred next step is welcome to suggest it.
Now that you have the chance to examine this room more closely, you find nothing of monetary value, but several things are noteworthy. In particular, the six scorch marks on the floor, the basin of water, and the miniature portal to the Negative Energy Plane.
Arcana or Spellcraft DC 18:
These scorch marks are consistent with those produced by lightning bolt. It seems that each struck several targets here.
Though it has the appearance of a sacred font, several of you can detect a powerful aura of evil radiating from the basin. It is filled with ten gallons of unholy water.
The rift itself also radiates evil energy. Faint traces of magical and evil energy leach from the tear in reality, destined for some nearby source.
Arcana, Religion, or Planes DC 20:
You think it would be possible to reconsecrate this place and seal the rift, once the recipient of this energy is dealt with.
Proceeding down a short stairway, you see a marble statue of an elven woman with a snake's body at the end of a hallway. She has been heavily damaged over the years, including losing her head, which is cradled in her arm, along with a harp. Dozens of fist-sized nooks line the walls near the statue.
Planes DC 17:
This depicts a Lillend Azata, a benevolent outsider who chronicles lore and stories.
This is a type of construct known as a Cephalophore, often used as guardians due to their ability to pose as traditional statues. Their hard surface can damage weapons (similar to their more common cousins, Caryatid Columns), and they are resistant to many spells (SR), in addition to the traditional construct resistances and defenses. All weapons are effective, though adamantine are best at resisting damage.
Beat by 5+:
Their eyes can prove unnerving, providing a gaze attack that can stun, or daze those it strikes. Resisting that effect still sickens the victim, though those immune to fear are immune.
"I think the negative energy is being siphoned by something in this dungeon. Once we deal with it we can consecrate the area and seal the rift."

kn Arcane:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
"This is a Cephalophore. A construct. Weapons can break on it's skin, It resists spells, and it has a gaze attack so avert your eyes."
Don't think Sparky can see it from his position. So I'll move then I'D it.
Move to a better position. As a swift action I'll attach a bomb to a tangleshot arrow. Bow is out and my Shield extract should still be up.
This round I will be averting my eyes from it.
Gaze is a Will save with mind-affecting and fear descriptors. DC 16, Stunned if fail, sickened on success. 60 foot range, unlike the usual 30 ft.
Amenhotep, since we're on very different time zones, once you've made your surprise round action, please open the spoiler below and move things as appropriate. Then Jorciel can take his surprise round action, and Amenhotep, Sparky, and Horacio can take their standard round actions.
Statue's surprise round action:
The azata's stone tail begins to undulate, propelling the statue directly forward twenty feet
Also, for anyone attacking the creature with a melee weapon, if you can figure out the Hardness and HP of the weapon (relevant info) that will help things move quickly.
