Once the party finishes with the statue, you move north down the narrow stairs. there is an open door. Upon entering, you see this room has a wide corridor exiting it toward the west, and a door to the east. Barrels and boxes of supplies fill the cramped chamber. The corridor to the west is collapsed as well.

The gnome picks up the head, holds it aloft, and, in an impressive and commanding voice, intones his three best guesses as to the proper pronunciation of the Kelish word, as well as the word "Arise" in every language he knows.
Aniland begins poking around in the supplies, prying off lids with his spear and smashing things open with his mace.
The statue head remains silent.
Poking around the room, Anis find four vials of alchemist’s fire hidden in a bag of weevil-infested flour. The labels on the bottles—which contain the sort of spirits one might find in a mining village tavern—read something in Draconic.
The bottle read, Gurk's Fire Juice
The party moves on to the door to the east. Hamailli finds it untrapped and unlocked. Opening the door, the party enters a large room. This large room was once two, but the wall between them has been partially torn down, and the broken door now serves as a makeshift altar. The candles and strange statues that decorate it all face the dark alcove beyond the broken wall. Four kobolds are kneeling at the makeshift altar, but stand and present their spears when the party enters.
The kobolds startle a little bit at being spoken to in their language. One of them speaks up. Yes, we know of such sword. The Fire Speaker carries it. it says motining toward the back of the room, toward the statue. Suddenly you all hear a voice hiss something in Draconic, and the kobolds grip their spears a little tighter and point them at the party.
The kobold responds to Anis, motioning with his spear toward the statue.

"I'm negotiating with the 'Fire Speaker' over by the statue for the katana."
A tall, lean, gray humanoid comes forward from behind the statue. He eyes the party, but speaks to Anis.

The creature responds to Anis, taking a step backward toward the well as it speaks.
Gwion readies the bow in case of spellcasting funny business.
Anis blesses the party.
Ygdnur rushes forward and smacks the skulk with his axe, injuring the skulk badly.
The skulk steps back and looks to cast a spell, and Gwion's arrow finds his shoulder. The skulk's shoulders sag as his spell appears to fail.
Hamaillii tries to disarm an unarmed skulk, but misses.
Suddenly the room erupts into chaos as the kobold begin to attack. Two attack Faldoc and two attack Kuraishimo, but none manage to score a hit.
Faldoc delays, seeing Kuraishimo about to cast a spell.
Kuraishimo steps back and unleashes a dazzling streak of colors at the kobolds. Three of the kobolds fall over unconscious.

Hamailii looks stupified about her own nonsense actions. Anger shows on her face and she swings her whip at the skulks feet.
What am i doing? Maybe this blindness before has side effects? Or that gnome just got me. Stupid me falling for a gnome. Ah i´m just gonna let it out on this abomination.
On your feet before me, wanna-be god!
Gwion casts a spell and the jade katana is lifted off the skulk and brought back to Gwion.
Anis attempts to demoralize the final kobold, yet it seems unaffected.
Ygdnur swings his axe again, but misses.
The skulk steps back again, casting. Light flies from his fingers, similar to Kuraishimo.
Caught in the light, Ygdnur collapses to the ground unconscious.
Hamailli steps foward, lashing her whip. The whip encircles the skulks leg and he is pulled to the ground.
The conscious kobold attacks Faldoc, it's spear piercing the ranger's shoulder.

Kuraishimo will cast rime-frostbite before moving in between Ygdnur and the Skulk.
Kuraisimo will then reach out and touch the creature.
Touch Attack:
Damage: Nonlethal cold damage + fatigue. Additionally it is entangled for 1 round.
An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
Faldoc puts a couple of arrows into the conscious kobold and it goes down.
Kuraishimo sends a spell at the skulk and you see his skin become covered in frost.
Gwion puts an arrow into the skulk.
Anis aids Faldoc in the battle with the kobold.
The skulk tires to crawl to the well, and is attacked by Kuraishimo and Hamaillii. . Hamaillii's whip tears at the skulks flesh and he stops moving.
