"The other rooms are just right there, how about a few of us have a quick look while Polux and the rest focus on getting that door open? That way we're less likely to waste good magic," Aleris suggests. "Just scanning for anything that might be a threat should work; we can come back and have a more thorough look once we take care of our other business."
And to put thought into action she switches from her bow to her glaive and makes her way down to the southern rooms, peering around cautiously.

Kito walks over to the doors Polux was looking at. Gesturing towards the writing, she says "No mystery here. The door is marked for high priests only."
Kito waits for Polux to indicate the door is free from traps and then offers to help him pick the lock.
Aid another, Disable Device to pick lock:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Success, provided GM allows it. May not be room to get in there given Polux's current size.

Qari is ready toward the back of the group. When the door is opened, she will follow them in, looking around for anything out of the ordinary.
A series of cubicles encircle an open central space here, each separated from the common area by a curtain hanging from a rod over the doorway. Within each cubicle, a bed frame and footlocker are bolted to the floor. The curtains, bed frames, and footlockers are all dusty but in good repair. The bedding, however, has rotted away and served as nests for mice and insects over the years. The cubicle in the center of the chamber is a privy.
Religion DC 10 vs room:
The Sanctum’s acolytes lived in this common area when this was an active temple. Each acolyte had a small private room in which to meditate and sleep.
Two corpses have been dragged into the northeastern cubicle here. One is a pile of bare bones kicked unceremoniously out of the way, and the other is a rotting, but still intact, cadaver. An old, broken scimitar lies nearby.
Heal DC 10:
The bones are scorched and still warm to the touch, and the corpse has suffered a number of recent injuries.
Religion DC 10 vs corpses:
Characters who examine the bodies and succeed at a DC 10 Knowledge (religion) check identify them as recently destroyed undead—a skeleton and zombie, respectively.
When you are examining the two corpses, three more emerge from some of the other cubicles, undead humans of bone and parched flesh shambling towards you in an unstealthy attack (no surprise round).
Religion DC 5 to identify:
Zombies. DR 5/slashing.
I have color coded them as blue, green and yellow on the map.

Modbid curiosity pulls her out of her place at the end of line. Crouching down to touch the bones and quickly pulling her fingers back. "These two were the undead and what ever killed them is near."
Looking back over her shoulder at the overgrown Polux before calling out to the others "These undead were recently destroyed." A grin forms, "We are getting close."
Her grin shifts to a frown and Deseri steps back out of the room, "More undead, same as before."
With her slow speed she cannot even reach them and I have her holding back to let the others get into the room.

Qari moves to just in from of Deseri. She calls upon her Slick Wild Talent to act as a Grease spell catching the squares at the far end of the hallway, slowing the pursuit of the undead. The floor at the other end of the hall takes a glassy sheen as the ice spreads quickly over all of it.
Aleris nods in agreement with Deseri as she too peers at the bodies. "That's right! And now we know for sure that the Scorched Hand are h-uh oh, more zombies!"
Round 1
Glaive in hand, Aleris swings at one of the zombies as it approaches...

Kito moves to where she can see Aleris and curses the creature she is fighting with Misfortune.

Ra moved up and swung on Mr. Blue with his ball and chain.

I'd rather we had waited for them, since I don't think Polux can get to the zombies without squeezing :P
Doing his best to get to his companions in the now closed quarters due to his large size, Polux moves forward drawing his gladius, and swinging at the one closest to him.
Attacking Blue. If Ra-Khefer already killed it, I'll attack Green at -4 due to cover from Aleris.
Aleris' glaive attack misses. Ra-Khefer's flail comes just short of downing the blue zombie, which means Polux is called upon to finish it. The blue zombie is down after Ra-Khefer and Polux's successful attacks.
Green Reflex vs Grease:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4 Yellow Reflex vs Grease:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3 Green Will vs Misfortune:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Deseri - holds back
Qari - grease
Aleris - glaive miss
Kito - misfortune green
Ra-Khefer - flail hit blue
Polux - gladius hit, kill blue
Harmose may act retroactively.
Red zombie is dead. Green and yellow zombies both fell down due to Qari's ice slick, so they spend the round standing up. If they are within your threatened range, you may make AoOs against them while they are standing up. They do not have action economy to do anything else this round.

Retroactive Round
Acrobatics vs Grease if needed:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Harmose dances along Qari's grease if he winds up having to cross it to get to the zombies threatening his love. Backing up Aleris, he throws out acid splashes.

Aleris' glaive is also a reach weapon which I think didn't translate well when I asked for someone to move me the other day. Going to adjust Aleris one square over so that her positioning still makes sense.
Aleris' AoO!
As Polux strikes at one rising zombie Aleris attempts to strike at the other, hoping to put it back down for good.

Qari can't get a clear shot with the hall so full, so she waits until any of the zombies push into a better position for her blast.
Delay, but I don't see any easy way to get a blast through the crowd.

Ra took another step up and grunted as he swung his ball and chain again on the same guy. He put a little more power into it this time.
Flail attack:1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21 for a possible 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 adamantine and bludgeoning damage.
Ra-Khefer's powerful flail smash blows one of the remaining zombies to bits. Only one (green) now remains. It continues to attack Aleris, but has to roll twice due to Kito's misfortune.
Slam vs Aleris:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Rolling second time...
Slam vs Aleris:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Miss!
You'd think that at this time, after the zombie's attack, you'd all get to act. But alas, there's a surprise in store. Just when you are focusing on mopping up the last zombie, something bizarre happens to the stone wall near the double doors Polux was tinkering with earlier. It seems to warp and shift, until a vaguely humanoid form seems to halfway emerge from it, swinging a pair of thick, heavy arms at Turel.
Slam vs Turel:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26Damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Slam vs Turel:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24Damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
A face emerges in the wall, bellowing something short in Ancient Osiriani.
Ancient Osiriani:
"Leave! You must leave this house!"
Description: The materials of the building stretch and pull as if made of elastic, taking on the form of an earthen figure with thick stony arms, a roughly hewn torso, and a chiseled, vaguely humanoid head.
Planes DC 19 to identify:
An ahkhat is an elemental entity that dwells within a single building or structure, such as a monument, temple, or manor. The floors and walls of this structure are the ahkhat’s veins and arteries, and the doors and windows of the building are the creature’s fingers and toes. An ahkhat exists solely to maintain and protect its attuned structure. Far from a mere house servant or magical butler, an ahkhat is its structure’s consciousness incarnate.
When an ahkhat manifests, most often it emerges from a wall as a humanoid-like head, arms, and a torso that jut out. While ahkhats can manifest full bodies as well, since they cannot move away from their attuned structures, they rarely have cause to.
Structural Mobility (Su) An ahkhat can move through solid walls, floors, and ceilings of any material except metal. Its movement leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripples or other signs of its passage.
DC 24:
Ahkhats are bound to their structures via a special keystone that’s intrinsically attuned to the ahkhat, and they cannot leave the premises of their own volition. Furthermore, ahkhats cannot move through or manipulate structurally damaged parts of their attuned buildings, so they have a vested interest in maintaining the integrity of their demesnes.
Ahkhats are a product of Ancient Osirian magic long lost to time. Since the means of creating an ahkhat seem to have been closely guarded secrets and the cost was likely extravagant, these creatures were rare even during the height of Ancient Osirion. Archeologists have discovered ahkhats in desert temples and lavish crypts, but most agree that common homes and other mundane structures likely did not house such beings.
Immune: elemental traits
DC 29:
It’s known that ahkhats are the result of severe and powerful magical alterations to earth elementals, though by what means and under what circumstances these modifications occurred remains unknown. The magic that caused such a metamorphosis must have been mighty indeed to transform an elemental into a native outsider, and is likely on par with the legendary deeds of the god-kings themselves. Like elementals, ahkhats need not breathe, eat, or sleep.
Every ahkhat is tied to its own keystone, which is usually a stone block that weighs hundreds of pounds. The keystone must be included as part of a structure’s foundation or cornerstone, or must be exchanged for a mundane keystone as part of a permanent alteration effected by a skilled artisan. Ahkhat keystones are usually difficult to locate, and are sometimes protected by a locked or secret door, devious traps, or magical protections. The outward appearance is typically a carved icon of a humanoid figure, beneath which is written the ahkhat’s name in Ancient Osiriani. Anyone who speaks the ahkhat’s name while touching its keystone can attempt to charm the elemental, and may even do so while the ahkhat is elsewhere in the structure.
Repair Structure (Sp) This functions like make whole, except this ability is strictly limited to the structure the ahkhat inhabits and permanent fixtures attached to the structure.

"It's...an ahkhat," Aleris gasps, looking more amazed than fearful. "Like an elemental except it's not melded into the building - it is the building! They're made to be part of a structure, to protect and maintain it!" She quickly repeats her words again in Auran for Harmose's benefit.
With several people, including the oversized Polux, between her and the creature Aleris hangs back to allow the better fighters to advance. "Shelyn help us, I'm not sure what to do about this one," she whispers.
Aleris will use Guidance on herself, but hold her position for the moment.

"Good to know!" Kito says. I wonder though, wouldn't such a creature get bored after so many centuries?
She then calls out "Ձեր օրիգինալ շինարարներ են մեռած. Մենք այստեղ ենք, որպեսզի ամրագրել բաներ!"

Turel grunts in pain as the strange guardian makes its presence felt.

Kito continues to giggle hysterically as the dark cloud bounces over the remaining zombie's head.

After you have all acted (Polux may act retroactively), the zombie takes a five foot step towards Aleris and tries to attack her again (still under Kito's misfortune). The ahkhat has been the most injured by Qari, so it takes action against her. It melds back into the building, and then re-emerges right behind Qari (see map), a massive earthen fist rising out of the floor behind her to slam at her.

"It matters not! You must leave! It is commanded and so it must be! Leave or you must be destroyed!"

The ahkhat manages to swing its powerful stone limb at Turel as the monk shifts position. Soon after, however, under the onslaught of Qari's cold blasts freezing the ahkhat, and then Deseri and Ra-Khefer's pounding weapons smashing onto it, the animated stony limbs of the ahkhat shatter to pieces, and fall to the ground as inanimate rubble. Only a slight activity remains from the ahkhat, you can feel a faint, decaying voice grow fainter and fainter...
Despite Aleris' hit with the glaive, the zombie still remains, and it moves towards Aleris, trying to attack her once more, groaring with a mouth that would be slobbering were it not dry from the parching of a thousand years.

Kito continues to giggle. Between bouts of giggling, she manages to say "Does anyone...<giggle>...know if the...<giggle>...Scorched Hand speaks...<giggle>...the ancient tongue?"
I hope Aleris kills that thing soon! It is hard breathing while doing this!
