I think an ACG warrior is a reference to the adventure card game, and something that you shouldn't pay too much attention to. I'm fine with you repositioning Jal. August, you are going to get AoOed.
The creature misses August, leaving it exposed to Tessara's Hex and August's blade!
Will Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
The hex does not seem to take hold of the creature. The skymetal greatsword however seems to cause considerable damage, although not as much as August would have expected.
The remaining Graven Guardian chooses to attack Ethendril, it's morningstar crackling with unholy energies.
Emanating from deep within the adamantine puzzle sphere, a desperate howl of air blasts aside the skymetal plates. Whatever is in there, it knows you are near, that you are fighting to release it and it wants to help. But between the multitude of Pathfinders engaged in combat, it might be difficult to make your case that you need help the most...
During combat, anyone adjacent to the puzzle orb can attempt an Diplomacy check, Spellcraft check, or Use Magic Device check to call upon your ally's wrath. If successful, you can cast one of the following spells as a spell-like ability, using your character level as your caster level and either your own Charisma or 20 to determine the spell’s save DC. This ability can only be used once per combat, and any summoned elemental disappears at the end of the combat:
Additionally, between fights one of you benefits from the prisoner's insight into it's prison. You may roll one of the checks GM Cwethan initially listed at a lower DC.
Even as the many-faceted prison spins and reconfigures itself, it cannot keep pace with the combined efforts of the Pathfinder Society. A refreshing breeze pours from the immense orb, restoring the agents' will to fight.
Table GMs, the Winds of Restoration condition is now in effect.
Soothing winds escape through the growing cracks, reinvigorating you all!
Each of you heals 1d8+8 hit points, heals 1d2 points of ability damage to each ability score, and regains one daily use of a class feature. In addition, you each recover one or more spells that
has total levels equal to your character level.
Healing Lyan:1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Under the combined assault of Ethendril, August and Barnaby, the creature collapses in a pile of sand.
Will save vs Rowanna's Hex:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
This hex does seem to "stick" as the creature begin stumbling around in the worst bit of luck.
The other guardian launches a flurry of attacks on Lyan, two of which land, one nearly braining him. It then steps away, baiting the Pathfinders into moving in.

Being engaged with the blue enemy, August unleashes his own assault!

As the elemental will be at least large sized, I'll have it appear behind he last enemy, so that both guys should be able to flank with it, assuming one of them take a 5' step.

Restoring two 3rd level spell slots and a 2nd, and an inspiration point.
As the trapped beings power refreshes Barnaby, the detective strides forwards towards the last golem. As he does so, 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 more of him appear, all shifting back and forth amongst each other.
With an elemental and several fighters surrounding it, Barnaby will cast Mirror Image this round. Jal, you're also flanking from right where you are now.
Also, for the next combat, Barnaby will dismiss the Heightened Awareness to add 4 to his initiative. The detective's tired of being slow off the starting gun :p

August, not faring so well in his engagement with his current enemy, continues to battle on!
With the help of dozens of other Pathfinders, all working together, the last of the circles and their strange guardians fall!
Sorrina Westyr's image manifests to the Pathfinders, standing before a floating metallic polyhedron scribed with countless shifting glyphs. “We have done it! Now how to open this—”
A great crack interrupts the Master of Spell's musings, as an immense three-eyed giant with skin like hewn stone steps through a tear in space, with an army pouring out past her. The giant bellows so that all can hear. “I acknowledge your strength, little ones, for you have angered my benefactor enough to send me. I and my warriors, the Daemon Prayers, honor it with unyielding death. Seize the Vault! Slay them all!”
Sorrina Westyr urgently pipes in. “We just need a few more minutes to secure our prize and escape. Hold them off as long as you can!”
Drandle Dreng’s shaggy head appears once again in the divination window. “You heard her, Pathfinders!” He says, fist raised. “Go get ‘em!”
Okay agents, you've managed to defeat this first wave, but now the choice is yours:
Intercept the Daemon Prayers as they portal into various places throughout the asteroid;
Defend the Sanctum against the last of Ayrzul's Minions (Less time to heal, but more likely any minute/level buffs will stay up);
Or seek out the Daemon Prayers' leadership to send them into disarray (higher risk, higher reward).
Whatever has the most votes by the time I check in tomorrow is where we go!

August simply follows the orders he is given but if he had a voice he'd say the last choice was best (but he'd easily agree to defending).
A hulking Earth Elemental tunnels into the room with two particularly burly looking gargoyles flapping in behind it. Though they were clearly hoping to find that the Pathfinders had dropped their guard within the Sanctum, they still surge forward in assault!

Tess moves 20' to the right, in the middle of the group and uses the Haste spell she just recently recovered.
The Gargoyles swoop down on the two more lightly armored members of the party. One claws for Tess, barely deflected by her abjurations, the other hovers above Rowanna, daring her to make a move. Nothing readied, just threatening
Claw at Tess:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16

Not sure if that's at red or at blue, so I'll go with red unless I turn out to be importantly incorrect.
The Gargoyle lets out a whickering screech as Lyan smites it, and it slinks away from him, warily watching his every move.
Its larger cousin has clearly been studying humanoid expressions very carefully, as it manages a very creditable impression of narrowed eyebrows before it sinks into the ground, only to emerge like a living avalanche to hunt Lyan!
Happily, the Ragathian's faith shields him against corporeal threats as well as spiritual ones, and Lyan stands indomitable.

Invigorated by Tess' spell, Barnaby steps forward and lashes out at the gargoyle pests, starting with the one harrying Rowana.
"I don't know about light, but I'm getting just about sick of Ayrzul's 'friends'."
Swift action study 'blue'. If that gargoyle drops, the final attack(s) will go to the red gargoyle: in that cast both the attack and damage will be 4 lower

Bah! I thought I had posted here. Guess not!
Augist will move to attack the closest enemy that has threatened his friends! If I can reach red I'll stop there, otherwise I'll go for the elemental. With Haste I can make it there and still attack.
Barnaby and August make quick work of the Gargoyles, but August's mighty blade is foiled by the stony hide of the Elemental.

The demoralize rounds don't stack, the longest duration applies. If an attack succeeds against it while it's shaken, it is also sickened for a round due the the Cruel enhancement.

Tess delays, seeing the boys surrounding the Elemental, and cutting it up pretty darn well.
