"What are those two doing." Lynn looks to Lilia, Sharimus, and Gunther, "I'm going further up to support those two good luck meet with us when you can."
Then she too moved down the hall and towards the main area with the dwarven statue. Taking a step up behind Maanyatha in preparation for more combatants, "Well if ever there was a time for them to press their luck in finding Master Sharrowsmith before us I suppose they chose an opportune moment."
With the combined blows of Lilia and Gunther, the halfling goes down in a gurgling wail. In the distance shouts can be heard, most likely from the next group of Aspis.
2 rounds untill the next wave arrives. Please describe your actions. We are still in initiative.

As his companions bring down the last foe, Darius races around the hallways to set up an ambush behind the door. The rogue moves quickly, but gracefully and nearly reaches his objective.
Double move this turn. On the second turn I will move 25' south and ready an attack against the first Apsis to come through the door (if that's where they enter!)

I wasn't sure if I should post one or two rounds of actions above.
On the second round, Darius moves up to the main doorway and readies a blow with his gladius to strike the first enemy through the door if he can reach them.
Sorry guys, I'm suffering from severe GM fatigue on top of RL ****. Let's try and finish this so I can go on a break! =)
GM rolls:
Attack1:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
From invisibility, a giant spear thrusts at Sharimus, hitting him in the gut for 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11 damage. In front of the giant, two goons stand ready with their longswords out, waiting for an opportunity.

You have a nice slugfest with the aspis, get wounded a bit, but manage to succeed. You un-petrify the aspis lady in the hallway using some basilisk blood you buy from the kobolds, and find Sharrowsmith's sword hidden in one of the rooms.
Chronicles in the discussion thread.
CONCLUSION:
With Zaril Namoth and his Aspis Consortium expedition thwarted, the Golden Guardian and kobolds assist you in clearing the collapsed corridor of rubble. There you uncover the remains of Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith, which are badly damaged but identifiable thanks to his crushed wayfinder and other belongings.
The kobolds allow you to extract the body and its possessions in peace, but afterward the small humanoids make it clear that you have overstayed their welcome and should leave.
When you return to Nantambu, Aya Allahe is there to receive you. She listens to your recounting of the mission, and when she learns of Sharrowsmith’s death, she nods sadly and voices her thanks.
“Nantambu will not be the same without my friend Nieford
Sharrowsmith. When he was younger, he traveled to all
corners of the Mwangi Expanse and truly made the region
his home, despite having been born hundreds of miles away
in Avistan. He never truly lost his adventuring spirit, and as
this lodge grew, he found his hours dedicated more and more
to paperwork and less and less to exploring the lands’ rich
history. I know his soul would take no offense at my saying
he died as he would have wished—active, engaged, and in
the field. I take solace in being able to provide him proper
funerary rites."
“With his passing, Sharrowsmith’s Exports has no venturecaptain,
but I have corresponded with Nieford’s colleague
Ambrus Valsin and agreed to act as the temporary manager
of the lodge. After all, the full extent of the Pathfinders’
involvement in Nantambu has remained a something of an
open secret, and it would be an embarrassment for anyone
but a friend or family member to take command of the
business so soon after the owner’s death.”
“I dearly appreciate what you have done for the Society, for
your venture-captain, and for me.”
Aya Allahe also examines the metal component you found in the Krihirik talisman. After a moment’s study, she quickly stands, recovers a piece of stationary bearing five graphite illustrations, and slowly smiles.
“This is remarkable,” she announces.
“The shape of the talisman matches one of the drawings Ambrus
Valsin sent me. What you have found is a piece of the
Sky Key, the device even now the rest of the Society is
at its wits’ end attempting to reassemble!”
Then, with quiet affection, she murmurs to the Sky Key component:
“Congratulations, Nieford. You and your agents have
once again done what the rest of the Society could
not—a fitting tribute, and a fine legacy.”
