"I believe this tp be an act of supplication to an evil creature. I will not perform such an act." he says. With that statement, Gresh moves past the mural and approaches the first of the closed doors.
The map is not the most clear, you first encounter the statue that is on the ramp. The doors start after that, so I'll give you the statue first.
The middle loop illustrates the passage through the hoodoo maze. The pilgrim encounters increasingly large fire creatures, but in each case she prostrates herself to them and is allowed to pass.
At the center of the hall, an obsidian statue of a towering bull-headed man looms over mosaics of pilgrims kneeling before it.
Z'hor'll shrugs, and follows behind Gresh. token not moved A big grin forms on his face, as he contemplates a practical joke that could play on the big paladin, but quickly disappears when he remembers what has happened here, and who they are avenging.
Both map and descriptions are unclear which happens first, so I'll continue with the last description and then we'll tackle the door, as both doors and the last part are all at the top
The outermost loop shows the final judgment of the pilgrim. The golden idol looms over the entire Temple, reflected in every torch, lava pool, and smoke plume. The pilgrim immolates herself by placing her hand in
a bonfire of blue flame. A much smaller brazier of blue flame stands on an ornate sconce in the passage.
Each of these chambers constitutes the central hall of a tower with several more rooms, both above and below the entry points, along with bed chambers, guardrooms, a kitchen and dining hall, latrines, and storage closets. All are long abandoned, with the floors covered in a thick layer of desert sand, the simple furniture broken, food long since
desiccated or rotten, and no signs of life.
Three of the other towers are the same. One big mess. The one in the north wester corner however shows signs of habitation.
This tower has been mostly cleared of sand and contains three rough
bunk beds and a simple shrine to Moloch.
Z'hor'll will take a quick look through the room, checking for lost change and the like. If nothing is there, he'll head to the hallway stairs and start climbing up.
The staircase opens onto a grand hall of polished obsidian and red marble. The walls are decorated with reliefs of a gleaming brass city, a massive sandstorm scouring a desert, and a horde of fire elementals descending on a city full of terrified humans. Rivers of slowly bubbling lava crisscross the floor, all streaming out of an elaborate altar at the far side of the room.
Atop the altar sits a squat golden idol, 3 feet tall, of a bull-headed man, its arms raised and its hands holding a large thorned sword and a huge battleaxe. The idol’s eyes glow a deep crimson. Lava flows impossibly fast out of the bull-headed idol’s open mouth and down its torso, fanning out from there into rivers on the floor.
Behind the altar, an obsidian relief of geometric forms stretches from floor to ceiling. Smoky forms flit across the relief ’s surface, their fiery eyes staring out at the room.
In front of the altar is a woman. She wears dark robes embroidered with a fiery pattern. In front of her write three creatures who look like melted blobs of flesh.
Fuath and Z'hor'll can act!
Its know: planes to identify the blobs.
The squares with lava channels act as difficult terrain when moving trough. You can end your movement in one, but it will be painfull.

"For the glory of Iomedae!" yells Gresh, as the flames of the fireball burn deeply.
Gresh follows the warcry with a softly spoken prayer, "May the healing light of Iomedae fill me with strength and purpose to defeat the foes before us." . Gresh glows with a soft golden light, soothing his burned flesh.
swift action lay on hands; 2d6+4
LoH:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12
The paladin of Iomedae moves towards one of the blobs and strikes at the creature.

Sorry, I probably should have waited to post until the blobs move. I'll try to hit the green blob, assuming it is within reach. If I need to move, I'll do so.
"Oh, you are all so nicely bunched up, aren't you?" says the watersinger. He takes in a big breath of air, as he moves to the corner of the room, clears his throat, and hawks out a huge churning loogie fun-ball! Casts aqueous orb
NL damage, Reflex DC16 to avoid:2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 If fail above, reflex DC16 to not be engulfed
"Fuath!" yells Z'hor'll. "Why don't you do what you can to make sure she never gets another spell off, again! Counter-caster fire!!! Assuming this spin-cycle doesn't catch her!"
"I dun' ta'e or'ers from ye, fishy!.... bu' da's a goo' idea."
Fuath will move to a corner of the room while drawing his battleaxe. He then readies his free hand towards the cultist lady, with an intense, aiming focus (to the point that his tongue has absent-mindedly exited his mouth).
Fuath readies to cast Magic Missle if the cultist lady casts a spell, he will cast defensively if threatened at that time.
If She casts...:
Magic Missle:2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6
If threatened while casting...:
Concentration Check to Cast Defensively + Combat Casting:1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19 vs. DC 17
The least of devilkind, lemures roil forth from the ranks of souls damned to Hell, shapeless masses of quivering flesh. What spark of instinct or memory lingers on within a lemure's semi-consciousness regularly shapes its features to mimic those of its tormentors or the tortured souls around it. Grotesque and useless, a lemure's features speak nothing of what it once was. Many exhibit multiple terrible visages or are nothing more than churning pillars of cancerous flesh. Only their knobby, flailing limbs work as they should, and those they merely use to destroy any non-infernal life that draws too near. Moving lemures typically congeal in forms over 4 feet tall and weigh upward of 200 pounds, though when at rest these disgusting fiends often appear to be little more than lumps of melted flesh and malformed features.
Lemures are known for their damage reduction against good or silver, ther immunity to fire, mind-affecting effects and poison; and their resistance to acid and cold
Reading no language in the spells text, I am assuming that after the reflex save I get at least a standard action
After being battered by the Orb, she manages to pull herself out of the churning water. random direction start counting at the top:1d12 ⇒ 10
Spluttering, she starts to cast a spell which triggers Fuath's ready action
concentration check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Injured while casting = 10 + damage dealt + spell level = 10 + 6 + 3 = 19 so she would make it
"The lemures are immune to fire and resistant to acid and cold. My mental spells won't work on them eithr!" yells Z'hor'll over the noise of the steam vent. He then concentrates to move the fun-ball again.
NL damage if fail DC16 save:2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 (same deal. "Round" lady is if she fails her 2nd reflex)
He then starts inspiring courage, by telling an inspiring story about Sarenrae!
IC: +1/+1
Yeah, saw that. But can only heal at 1d4+2 at a distance, or move, then next round full cast Infernal Healing. Figure it's better for you and I to take out the Lady, and Gresh to drop the blobs (if not help with Lady first) or heal if he wants.

No, wasn't meant as a cut against you... just lettin' you all know!
Fuath is after gresh, yes, but due to ready action, at the top of the round. Which could be affected by the steam vents, but looking better at positioning, it doesnt matter in Fuath's case. Now its just up to Gresh to make more devil kebab :)

The other figure next the altar, is that another bad guy or something else? I thought there were 3 blobs + 1 cultist lady. Now I see 2 blobs, what looks to be the cultist lady, plus another figure back next to the altar. Not the one with a blood spat on it.

That was the lady’s original position. I left her there in case the orb didn’t grab her, and the line was the path of the orb. Removed now.
Ah, mystery solved. The squiggely blue line is the heated steam. The neat one is the fun ball
Gresh: fearlessly walks into the heated steam. damage:1d8 ⇒ 6
Then proceeds to make more Lemure-kebab.
End of round effect: The pipes in the floor gurgle and clank... 1d3 ⇒ 3 and the super heated steam stops next to Z'hor'll and starts spraying out next to Fuath.
About ready to drop, Z’hor’ll does the expedient thing, and attempts to heal himself. As no combatants are near him, he just casts, which allows him to continue his performance for free.
Cure light (cast):1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Feeling a little better, he quips, ”Blobby-baddies ain’t no thin’. Set your axe into that queen!”

Just to clarify my dmg taken and healed this combat. It looks like I took 2 fireballs, one for 15 and one for 12 for a total of 27 dmg. I have used two LoH. One for 12 and the other for 13, totaling 25 dmg healed. For the combat I should be at 2 dmg taken. Did I miss some dmg from one of the blob attacks? Thanks.
Well, my first readied would put me just before the cultist in initiative. My last readied action didn't go off, so I would have had another turn before she channeled... Which would be:
Z'hor'll should have 1hp left, assuming a 23 saves. He healed himself last round. Channel is SU, so no concentration check needed. Could still trigger
a readied action. Question - did she move to get to where she is? Otherwise, how is she 10' from the aqueous orb? From what I can tell, shouldn't she have fallen in the lava?
Assuming a 23 did save...
Z'hor'll concentrates on the roiling ball of water, moving it over the lady, and then to the blob.
Ref DC16 or:2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6And of course, Ref 16 to avoid being engulfed
Z'hor'll wonders if he will survive this ungodly hot, arid place.
if she is not engulfed:
he attempts to knock the woman on her ass with a large spout of water (hydraulic push with hydraulic maneuver) CMB to trip vs CMD:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13Really RNG? Really?
