Presuming that the rest of the party eventually enters the room:
Arak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Berosius: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Harrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Each party member in turn sees a horrific version of themselves slaying their companions with unthinking, undead fury. It is a sight that will remain with each of you for the rest of your days.
However, the entreaty by Lumnessa and the warning by Girion have attracted some attention.
You all hear them hearing you and subsequently stirring. You hear... squeaking sounds... coming from the south where there are more crypts...
This is round 1. Tan'ia is up!

"Bad nome lie to Harrow!" Harrow yells angrily as he continues to stare into the water. "Not sooooooo neat!!!" he adds, and he is slow to react to the incoming sounds.

Don't yell at me cause you're a wimpy Oracle. Lumnessa replies sticking her tongue out at the half-orc.
While we're waiting, I'll allow Knowledge(Nature) checks on the squeaking noises, if anyone cares to try. :-)

Tan'ia doesn't have Knowledge (Nature) but does have Profession (Librarian). Will that work?
Touch of Good on Arak. Grant +1 to skill checks, ability checks and saving throws for 1 rd.

Harrow is incredibly angered by Lumnessa's comments, and yells "Harrow make bad nome squeek like old rocking chairs about to attack us!"

Void-Touched Sorcerer 2
Its not a rocking chair! Its....

Bats! You're not afraid of Bats, are you little Oracle? Lumnessa giggle as she scampers away from the angry Cavalier.

Is there a new map? I don't know what we're fighting...
Girion stands ready to engage whatever the squeaky things are.
(Nope. No new map. You're still in the room with the reflecting pool. The bats are about to come to you since it's now their turn.)
A swarm of bats flies in! (Odds they fly to the east, evens they fly to the west.) 1d2 ⇒ 2 (The blue square indicates the location of the swarm.)
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Both Tan'ia and Harrow take 5 points of damage. The wounds look like particularly ragged rips in their flesh. Before either wounded party member can take an action, they will have to roll a Fort save vs. distraction.

Harrow is too distracted by Lunmessa's comments to be distracted by the bats, and does not even feel his injuries.

From Harrow's background summary: "Harrow has 'congenital insensitivity to pain', but Harrow does not know what means. It means he doesn't feel pain."
I knew someone who had this...I've incorporated it into Harrow's story.
I remember. :-) It's still a "wow" moment!

Girion drops his sword at his feet (in my square, not the pool!) and pulls out a vial from his belt pouch. Loosening the lid, he hurls the flask of acid into the swarm! ranged touch: 1d20 ⇒ 3acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 3
Sorry!
Void-Touched Sorcerer 2
Your not supposed to take the lid off!
Male Taldan Level 1 | AC 17 t10 ff17 | HP 11/11 | Fort +2 Ref +0 Will +2 | SENSES, Perception +0
I always wondered about that... with a flying swarm, what does the vial actually hit to break? I always assumed it just sort of splashed around...
The swarm takes a point of damage! Berosius is up!

Berosius steps to the side and reaches out with his wand to touch Tan'ia.
wand of cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

After she's no longer distracted by the bats, Thank you, Berosius! Those bats are awful things.
Tan'ia will be distracted on her next turn. So, she'll only have a move action.
Another swarm of bats flies in. Indicated by the red square. The two swarms overlap in the center.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Girion and Lumnessa each take 6 HP of damage and will need to make a Fort save vs distraction on their turn.

Yikes...not sure how this happened, but looking at my character sheet, I only have 3 flasks of regular oil and no acid flasks! I buy these on all my characters, but somehow missed it here...my bad! I'll have to throw the flasks, soak them in oil, then hope to ignite it later!
Harrow suddenly realizes bats are circling around him and drawing copious amounts of his blood.
"Hey, squeaking bats sound like old rocking chairs biting us! Spread out!" the half-orc says as he reaches for a flask of oil in his pack and moves to the south.
move from the swarm, move action to find the oil.
Since you have them on all your other characters, and I've played with enough of your other characters to trust that this is your standard procedure, I'm fine with saying that you have one or two acid flasks.

Arak swats ineffectually at the blue swarm with his kama.
Apparently I also didn't sock up on swarm damaging stuff...
Harrow, a creature that is taking bleed damage takes the listed amount of damage at the beginning of its turn. I forgot to give you an additional 1 HP of damage.
__________
OK. It's the Blue Bat Swarm's turn. Odds it moves north. Evens it moves south.
1d2 ⇒ 1 , Odds! It moves north!
Attracted by the movement, the swarm moves north and envelopes Arak and Berosius.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Ouch! Sorry guys, both Arak and Berosius take 6 HP of damage.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Dang...
Berosius is overwhelmed by bats and wildly tries to brush them away from his face. "Ah! No! Go away!"
You can still move--even though you're distracted.
Male Taldan Level 1 | AC 17 t10 ff17 | HP 11/11 | Fort +2 Ref +0 Will +2 | SENSES, Perception +0
Girion, distracted by the bats and bleeding, tries to avoid the swarm. "If anyone has fire, now is the time!"
Waiting to see if Berosius is going to move before deciding the red swarm's action.
Void-Touched Sorcerer 2
I have Fire! Lumnessa calls out helpfully
Berosius hasn't posted, so I'm taking the liberty of moving him out of the swarm.
The Red swarm has two choices, move north or south. Odds == North, evens == south.
1d2 ⇒ 1
Odds, the red bat swarm moves north and nibbles on the Son of Aroden.
1d6 ⇒ 3
Girion takes 3 HP of damage.

GO AWAY BATS! Lumnessa screams as she steps forward and sends another sheet of flames into the swirling mass of creatures.
Burning hands w/ Pyro for +1 level
Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 x 1.5 = 10 DC 17 Reflex save for half
This gets both swarms and hopefully will drive them into the catacombs or kill them.
Blue Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Red Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Upon seeing little Lumnessa step forward, the bats all rush her. She releases a wave of fire. They ALL burn!
Combat over! :-)
I presume either Tan'ia or Berosius will channel to put a stop to various PCs' bleed effects?
Male Taldan Level 1 | AC 17 t10 ff17 | HP 11/11 | Fort +2 Ref +0 Will +2 | SENSES, Perception +0
Girion will heal people as needed, first stopping bleed effects and then healing everyone to full. (Dice below are for myself, let me know how many you need.)

I don't feel so good. Lumnessa says weakly as she slumps against the wall.

"Harrow feel fine," the half-orc says, despite the multiple bite wounds and the continued bleeding.

If someone will please heal Harrow with his wand, I'll use his charges.

Before the various wands come out, Berosius will channel to stop all bleeding. Then he'll happily uses people's wands on them and his own on anyone who doesn't have one.
Holding aloft the rose of Milani, the little oracle beseeches the aid of the goddess of compassion and lost causes.
Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4
How hurt is Lumnessa? Tan'ia should be down 1 hp.
