You can hear Amunet-Ra crying out from behind the pillar where she sneaked up on the side.
You probably don't want to touch those! They seem fairly resistant and have some nasty abilities. Your magic might not work on them.
She concentrates shortly and unleashes a flurry of little stars on the right construct.
She then vanishes from sight.

"Good to know." Jimbli - who'd been preparing to blast them from a distance with his sword's magic ability - takes a deep breath, then grins devilishly "I'm going in."
He blinks underneath the northmost creature, and stabs at its underbelly. His sword merely clinks against its unnaturally tough carapace.
When hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action to replace yourself with an illusory duplicate and teleport to any open square within 30 feet of your current position. You take no damage from this attack, which instead destroys your illusory duplicate (similar to mirror image). Using this ability requires a line of effect to the teleportation target square.
The bouder Raxus had been casually palming whipped through the air like it had been fired from a catapult.
Bending the ambient light in the chamber, and bouncing it off the obsidian blade of the closest golem, Hamza causes a reflective replication of his next attack.
He then summons the darkness within his black soul, and blasts the sentinel on the right with vile, evil energy.
Leonidas hums as he gestures intricately and attempts to weave chance in the party's favor. His lizard joins in, creating a peculiar song.

Immunity to Magic (Ex)
A scarlet sentinel is immune to any spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
A transmute rock to mud spell slows a scarlet sentinel (as per the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw, while transmute mud to rock restores all of its lost hit points.
A stone to flesh spell does not actually change the scarlet sentinel’s structure but negates its damage reduction and immunity to magic for 1 full round.
A banishment or dismissal spell quells the animating fiend temporarily, negating the scarlet sentinel’s hellfire touch ability for 1 round with no saving throw. The spell also increases the chance of the scarlet sentinel’s berserk liberation by 20% in subsequent rounds of combat.
A magical attack that deals fire damage sharpens the scarlet sentinel’s claws, increasing their critical threat range to 18–20 and increasing bleed damage to 3d6 for 1d4+1 rounds.
A magical attack that deals cold damage cakes ice over the scarlet sentinel’s form, suppressing the bleed damage from its claw attacks and negating its jagged body ability for 1 round.
A stone to flesh spell negates the scarlet sentinel’s damage reduction, jagged body, and immunity to magic for 1 full round.
Supernatural Abilities (Su)
These can't be disrupted in combat and generally don't provoke attacks of opportunity. They aren't subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or dispel magic, and don't function in antimagic areas.
Misfortune and Cackle are supernatural abilities.
Effect: The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
SCARLET SENTINEL
Among the most insidious of Kla'Tra'Yhe's guardians, the scarlet sentinels are unique golems created by the Trapmaster of Dargulin in which a powerful daemon has been trapped. The furious outsider unleashes its rage against all who disturb its sanctuary...

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Berserk Liberation (Ex)
When a scarlet sentinel enters combat, there is a cumulative 2% chance each round that the animating fiend breaks free and the scarlet sentinel goes berserk. This chance resets to 0% after 1 minute of inactivity. When a scarlet sentinel goes berserk, the animating fiend explodes in a conflagration of hellfire, dealing 13d6 points of damage to all creatures within 60 feet (Reflex DC 17 half). Half of this damage is fire damage, but the other half results directly from unholy power and is not reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks. The save DC is Constitution-based. The berserk scarlet sentinel then loses the fiend-infused template permanently and thereafter attacks the nearest living creature, or smashes some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach. Once it goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control.
Hellfire Touch (Su)
A scarlet sentinel’s body radiates the soul-scorching heat of the evil Outer Planes, dealing 2d6 points of damage with its touch. Half of this damage is fire damage, but the other half results directly from unholy power and is not reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks. Creatures attacking a scarlet sentinel with unarmed strikes or natural weapons take this same hellfire damage each time one of their attacks hits. A scarlet sentinel’s natural attacks are treated as evil for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

A magical attack that deals cold damage cakes ice over the scarlet sentinel’s form, suppressing the bleed damage from its claw attacks and negating its jagged body ability for 1 round.
A stone to flesh spell negates the scarlet sentinel’s damage reduction, jagged body, and immunity to magic for 1 full round.
Slow (Su)
A scarlet sentinel can use a slow effect, as per the spell, as a free action once every 2 rounds. The effect has a range of 10 feet in a burst centered on the scarlet sentinel and a duration of 7 rounds. A successful DC 17 Will save negates the effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Death Throes (Ex)
When a scarlet sentinel is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, it explodes. All creatures within a 20-foot burst take 12d6 points of piercing and slashing damage and 2d6 points of bleed damage. A successful DC 18 Reflex save results in half damage and negates the bleed effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Jagged Body (Ex)
A creature that grapples a scarlet sentinel or that hits it with a natural attack or unarmed strike takes 2d6 points of bleed damage.
Obsidian Spray (Ex)
As a swift action every 1d4+1 rounds, a scarlet sentinel can unleash a torrent of obsidian shards, filling a 30-foot cone. Creatures caught in this attack take 8d6 points of piercing and slashing damage and 2d6 points of bleed damage. A DC 18 Reflex save reduces this damage by half and negates the bleed effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

[dice=reflex vs spray DC18]1d20+14
At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Focusing his mental prowess, Ri'Kli'Klek pushes strength into Raxus, recognizing that his own abilities would... likely not make a dent in these creatures of stone.
Rokan watches the chaos unfold, starting but then hesitating as his companions lunge forward and take out the first sentinel. After a wave of assaults dies down he sprints forward from his still position, visibly gathering cold power around his body. Just as he reaches the sentinel he throws forward his arm, the cold energy shifting from all over his body and concentrating on the closed fist.

Surprisingly, the fitful bard raises his voice,
"These proceedings are dreadfully tiresome, let us see if we may secure their quick conclusion."
Though still somehow concealed, Slavathras' voice obviously directs itself towards the Troglodye.
"Troodon of the Mazeweavers, may this humble singer impinge upon your good will to convey the courageous Sassochus speedily to our foe?"
