Any living humanoid, giant, or monstrous humanoid who fails his DC 12 Will save against the mist’s corrupting influence degenerates into a raving madman, little more than a bloodthirsty animal. Those who make their saves are immune to the mist’s influence for 24 hours. Those who fail gain the Mist-Tainted Template: their Intelligence and Charisma are both reduced to 6, they gain a +2 to their Strength and Dexterity, they become immune to fear, they gain a +10 to Climb checks (and a climb speed of 20 feet), they gain a +5 to Jump, Hide, and Move Silently, and they also gain a slam attack (1d4 for Medium creatures). This template adds +1 CR to the base creature. A remove curse, break enchantment, or similar magic purges the evil vapors, removes the template, and negates the Tik Taan’s influence. In addition, if a Mist-Tainted creature is knocked unconscious, the polluting vapors leave its body and they return to normal. Once purged or upon regaining consciousness, Mist-Tainted creatures are immune to the mist’s effects for 24 hours.

Startled by the movement from the statues, Kaya is frozen in place. This isn't how museums work! They most certainly shouldn't come back to life. What is going on! She tries to flip through all her studies and areas of expertise to see if she knows anything about animating things like this.
Round 1
Xusius
Red
Philoneus Tippertille & Mr. Tiggles
Kaya
Green
Nithrun
Purple - 3 dmg
Yellow
Igmar
Bold is up.
Confirmation of crit 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d3 ⇒ 2
Xusius is quick to the mark firing off a tiny bolt of acid while side stepping. His bolt eats into the wrappings.
Igmar identifies the Hulking warrior to be a skeleton warrior with resistance to all weapons that don't do crushing damage.
Kaya can only guess that somehow the mists are bringing all these exibits to life which doesn't bode well for the rest of the musuem.
Red lopes forward and attempts to sink his teeth into Mr Tiggles!
Bite 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 if hit, Two Fort Save DC 13 for disease and paralysis
Fort save vs Disease:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Fort save vs Paralysis:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Mr. Tiggles easily shrugs off the creature's filth and listens carefully to his master's commands. Knowing that this creature was not going to taste good based on the spell, Mr. Tiggles still did not hesitate in trying to rip it to pieces.
Round 1

The creature avoids Philoneus's attack easily but Mr TIggles manages to get a fang and talon in! Mr Tiggles also resists the foreign substances injected into it.

Nithrun begins to perform as usual while galloping over to the armored warrior. This time, his performance has no perceivable words, and it sounds more as if he is roaring. Nevertheless, his companions feel encouraged as if by magic, even if they don't exactly understand why this time.
Nithrun moves next to the purple monster.
Inspire Courage: +1 attack and damage to everyone
Add +1 to my AC (now 20) for this fight due to the mist
Round 2
Xusius
Red Undead Priest - 6 dmg
Philoneus Tippertille & Mr. Tiggles
Kaya

Nithrun
Purple Armored Warrior - 3 dmg
Yellow Hulking Skeleton
Igmar -round 1
Bold is up.
Nithrun manages to inspire his companions in a primal way of sorts.
The armored warrior moans as he swings his longsword down at Nithrun
Slash! 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
The hulking skeleton charges down at Mr Tiggles as it brings down an expensive looking Ivory Greatclub down on the reptile!
Yarghhh! 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 121d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Mr Tiggles simply dodges that blow.
Believe it or not, this is actually my best and most consistent attack form when not using 1st level spells which are very limited until I get some scrolls purchased.
Round 2
Xusius
Red Undead Priest - 6 dmg
Philoneus Tippertille & Mr. Tiggles
Kaya
Green Scimitar wielding Corpse
Nithrun
Purple Armored Warrior - 3 dmg
Yellow Hulking Skeleton
Igmar
Bold is up.
Lifting its own weapon, the skeleton pushes away Igmar's blow with pure strength while the confusion of melee causes Xusius to miss his shot.
The priest snarls and proceeds to maul the closest thing available! Which means Mr Tiggles!
Bite 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 2 Fort Saves of DC 13 if hit. Disease and paralysis
Claw 1 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Fort Save DC 13 for paralysis if hit.
Claw 2 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Fort Save DC 13 for paralysis if hit.
Fortunately the agile dinosaur manages to avoid most of it.
Mr. Tiggles doesn't take kindly to this undead creature trying to smack him back,even though he missed with all of his attacks that one claw slid off of his leather armor. The velociraptor took the sentiment in kind, going for the creature's vitals.
Philoneus grins as Mr. Tiggle tears into their foe, and prepares to do the same. If Mr. Tiggles dropped it, then this attack goes towards the green after a five foot step and without the +2 from flanking.
Round 3

Igmar - Round 2
Bold is up
Nithrun's blows doesn't seem to get past his foe's tough defenses as rapier skitters of to the side upon hitting its bones.
Nithrun's dance partner moans as it raises its arms to bring down another crushing blow on him!
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Maybe if it had used it properly, the blade would have caused some damage.....
The hulk roars and swings its greatclub in wide swathes trying to hit the agile dinosaur.
Swing Swing 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Mr Tiggles has little chance to be hit as the swings are too wide and erratic.

Repeating her earlier stance and activation word, Kaya fires another small beam of cold at the same Hulking Skeleton. With a quick practiced motion, her left hand drops down into a pocket and retrieves a smooth wooden stick.
Attack/Rolls:
Standard to Cast "Ray of Frost" at Yellow. Move to draw Wand of CLW.
Being smart enough to know when his weapon is no use, Philoneus casts Produce Flames defensively, conjuring fire into the palm of his hand. "C'mon, Bandages, let's see how you enjoy this." He snarled as he moved to touch the creature.

Igmar moves behind Mr. Tiggles and tentatively reaches out to touch the velociraptor.
"Be strong, Mr. Tiggles."
Move Action: Move behind Mr. Tiggles Standard Action: Use Strength Surge on Mr. Tiggles. Mr. Tiggles gains a +1 to attack for the next round. Also the text says that creatures gain a +1 on melee attack rolls, not a +2 Str which gives a +1 to melee attack rolls, so it should still work even though Mr. Tiggles uses Dex to hit.

Kaya moves around to the side to make sure of a clear line of sight, gets into her now practiced pose and fires a small beam of cold at the last 'thing'. "We've got them on the ropes!"
Actions/Rolls:
Move 20 ft, Standard to Cast "Ray of Frost" at Green. I'm assuming by the time I act it will be threatened so I just left the No Precise penalty in there.
Kaya freezes it while Philoneus burns it.
Mr Tiggles does the final blow or so it seems until its talons skid off its hard bones but the damage is enough as it turns and glares balefully before crumbling into dust.
Xusius notices that all of his attempts so far had just made holes in the floor............
"Good work, Mr. Tiggles," Philoneus says with a casual toss of a piece of meat, partially charred from the Produce Flame effect, from a pouch on his belt to the velociraptor.
"I'm going to check out this door. If you find anything useful, let me know," he tells the rest of the group before heading towards the door further in, checking it for traps as only a very weary Pathfinder would, but does not open it.
Kaya finds that that scarab is magical but the only thing she and Xusis can figure out from its ancient magic is something to do with feathers. The thing is so old that knowing how to activate it might have being lost in the ages and the only other likely clue is that it's in Ancient Osirani.
The scarab also seems that it could be cracked open.
A Mwangi warrior, his body preserved in hot mud, stands against the wall of the exhibit hall. In his hands he clutches a bone-handled kukri knife with a jade-carved blade.
The placard says that: This warrior was a member of the Jambala Jaeg tribe.

Xusius is wondering if any of the other animated foes were from the Mwangi region.
"Ees eet possible that whatever eet was zat animated zose dead could not animate zis dead because eet was from Mwangi or had somezing related to Mwangi?"
The door to this chamber was once a pane of expensive frosted glass, which now lies in broken shards on the floor. Within, several desks lie overturned, papers in disarray, and chairs smashed to kindling. A sturdy steel cabinet sits against the back wall, its doors much battered and dented. The mist here roils near the floor and ceiling, creating a strange patch of visibility stretching from knee-height to a few feet overhead.
The smoky tendrils flow up and down the walls unnaturally and savage visages swirl to life, fanged mouths agape, before dissolving into mist once more.
