Devora moves into the room. The smell nearly makes her puke; but she fights through the stench, knocking an arrow, and letting it fly between the fighters. The arrow sticks into the horror.

Seeing that it looks to be undead Stone will try to pull up what ever he may know about it.
knowledge Religion:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
If there is room Stone will move up and attack.
attack:1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
If not he will drop his sword and pull his crossbow then fire

Feeling her spell work elektra looks at the horror and starts to weave another spell.Summon monster 1, a dog, behind the monster to get flanking
The Scarecrow is a Flesh Golem. The creature is currently against two walls. There is no place to achieve a flank with your Summoned Dog. You can bring it in to its left.
Garrath growls at the pain of the slash and bellows back at the thing as his rage grows and so does he, thanks to Elektra's spell. He grins a bestial grin and takes a small step back, using his range to keep the thing at bay. He swings the giant two handed weapon down on the things Scythe, attempting to sunder it.
sunder scythe:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33 Not sure if a sunder can have a crit? It says roll damage normally so I'll roll a confirm and extra damage in case.
Don't know exactly how much this thing hurts but im going to cast Lend judgement on Garrath. Lending my Protection judgement to increase his and my own Ac by 2 for the next 7 rounds
FLynns folds his hands together muttering a prayer under his breathe, The dawns golden light shall shield us from harm
Stone briefly ponders about the creature, but does not come up with anything. He then pulls out his loaded Crossbow and fires. But Stone was distracted by Garrath's enlargement causing the bolt to sail wide right.
Flynn judges the situation and provide extra Protection on Garrath and himself.
Garrath becomes Enlarged. Seeing the threat from the creature's scythe, Garrath attempts to sunder the wicked weapon. But the creature sees an opening and attacks the really, really big Barbarian. He cuts again into Garrath just before Garrath destroys the creature's scythe with his Greatsword. The creature howls with the loss of his weapon.
Brandark hacks mightily into the creature. The creature continues its howling.
Elektra knows about this creature. It is a Flesh Golem. It is immune to direct magical attacks, and even damage made to the creature is reduced. It is a monster in every sense of the word. Elektra then begins to summon in a dog.
The large Scarecrow, without its scythe, slams into the now equal-sized Garrath. It leads with its left and hits the extra-big Barbarian square in the chin. But its right was clumsy and ineffective.
I'll activate inquisitors direction, which will grant one ally haste for this round. I doubt in the current conditions any of us will be able to hit with ranged and things are crowded as it is
Flynn kneel's taking a knee, Garrath focus on attacking that thing, i'll focus on everything else
Stone reaches out and touches the Enlarged Garrath. A wave of healing flows through the oversized Barbarian.
Flynn provides the really big Barbarian with a little direction. Garrath becomes hasted for this Round.
Garrath roars in defiance. He catches the large Scarecrow with his great Greatsword's downward slice, but the upward thrust glances off the creature's leathery skin.
Brandark drops his shield. And with a tight grip on his axe hacks into the creature, once then twice. The second blow staggers the creature. It wobbles then falls dead.
@Brandark - You would not have been hasted unit Elektra's initiative. But Brandark's second roll would have been high enough to strike. Combined damage drops the creature.
@Elektra - The creature falls before Elektra's initiative. You would not needed to cast your Haste.
@Flynn and Garrath - Had Brandark's attack not been enough to drop the creature, Garrath would have had another attack in the Round. That might have been enough.
Victory
Elektra will note the special weave of the cloak the Scarecrow was wearing. It is a Cloak of Elvenkind
The party will search around the rest of the ground floor.
DC 20 Perception:
While searching the mound of debris in the southwest corner, you uncover a moldy leather sack containing 125 gp, 309 sp, a tarnished silver ring worth 75 gp, and a silver mirror worth 50 gp.
@Brandark - Unless I am missing something, it was just that Elektra's initiative was after Brandark's. I revised your hasty roll as the second . Otherwise, your second attack would have missed.
After finding the moldy leather sack, Flynn's investigative skills puts two and two together. The smell and the impression in the mound of debris reveals to him that this creature once resided on the main floor of the lumber mill.
Elektra will also recollect notes left behind by Vorel Foxglove at the Misgivings that this Flesh Golem was one of Vorel's creations.
Beginning from this ground floor, the inner wall of this vast space is traversed by a winding wooden stairway supported by an intricate network of wooden beams but lacking, at many stretches, a handrail or other enclosure. In certain places, two or even three stairs at a time are partially missing or gone altogether.
Good job team, oh and that thing probably from the lumber mill. the smell, debris to much sense for it not to be Should we go report this, I don't know what this nations policy is for creatures of vile magics like this is,
Garrath lets his rage subside, and looks about catching his breath. "That was a fight worth having. Tales of that fight will ring in our stories for many tellings." He sees Brandark pick up the shield and shrugs, "It looks like a shield."

"It seems that this was the guardian. I doubt we will see anything like this on the way up. Maybe a gargoyle or two. But I am sure the way up won´t be easy!"
Shadowclock Stairs map is up. You will need to zoom in as the scale is very small. I need someone to setup the marching order for the party and place their tokens along the stairs on the topmost section. This is the starting point. Brandark is in the lead, so you maybe the right one to designate positioning. But anyone can do this. This could be a little complicated in PBP.
I took the liberty. Figure Brandark can go first, Garrath can use his hammer to attack over Brandark's head, Flynn can use a bow, Elektra spells, and Stone gives us someone more heavily armored in the rear.
Flynn only notes the obvious, the stairs have seen better days. It only takes about 40 feet heading up to realize the unstable condition of the stairs as it begins to wobble violently.
Wobble duration:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
The violent wobble last for about two Rounds. You determine that any two PCs in adjacent stair squares is too much weight for the structure. What do you do?
Roping to each other could be dangerous, Handle this like fragile ice, move slowly and keep our weight dispersed evenly we need to balance out the stairs to stop the wobble

"Just wait a moment please!" Casting Invisibility on her familiar she politly asks if she could fly ahead and scout.
