OK. Ryu, right now the monsters chose to wait until you'd all entered the room from the corridor. If you or anyone else is still in the corridor, let me know.
Initiative order:
You Guys
monsters
If the baby is still up after all of you go anyone who got less than 10 is shaken for rounds. You are also immune to it's scream for 24 hrs. If it lasts that long. :(
Ryu, confirm your crit and let me know which you shot. ;)
Alkaid I need your will save.
Mama, then.
Biter bites off a few words that have the sound of goblin curses as he releases an arrow at the larger abomination... his aim obviously affected by the sight.
Cilyanka will remain as the rearguard, taking her assigned task very seriously.
Let me know where you are so I can place the markers.
The lighter-colored figure is the human-sized one, the darker one is the tiny sized one. It's hanging 6' in the air from an iron chain.
The pedestal and it's stuff is at F16.
Sparrow moves in for a better shot before releasing an arrow at the mama. "Just plain creepy!"
Brin empties his mind to resist (for some it is easy to do).
Even lessons of the wise hobbit cannot protect me here.
The shaken giant advances to the right manifesting a large two handed flail made out of psychic energy and engages the larger creature in the back.
Kaddoc is deeply unnerved by the creatures otherworldly cry.
"Stand fast my friends!"
Kaddoc stays where he is and casts Bless: +1 attack and +1 vs fear for 10 rounds
Brin empties his mind to resist (for some it is easy to do). 1d20+7;1d20+7

Post your moves and actions.
If still up, Mama will engage the closest person, moving if neccessary.
Baby is limited in actions due to the chain and can only swing to attack any of the squares surrounding it.
Straehan slides to the right of the doorway, drawn by the tomes and loose documents. He watches in fascination as the creatures begin to move... The unearthly shriek sets his teeth on edge but doesn't shake his resolve.
"Close the door, or make it burn!"
Strae can't help but agree with the youth's analysis of the situation. His hands form a diagonal arc and a brief phrase causes a sheet of fire to blaze from his hands, seeking the unholy creatures. His announcement is dry as kindling, "Fire in the hole."

Biter tosses the bow aside in frustration. Better with the blade, anyway, he thinks as he circles the... whatevers... closing in and waiting for someone to flank with him, obscenely large blade held in a readied strike.
Mama's reflex:
Mama fails, but is still up: HP 26 - 4 (Ryu) = 22 - 5 (Strae)= 19
Baby's reflex:
Baby fails and is destroyed: HP 4 - 5 = -1
Kaddoc roars with rage and charges forward to attack the mama.
Actually, between Biter and Kaddoc, you can take both of them off, as they slice the wight into several smaller, much more dead, pieces.
"Wow that was fast."
"Wow, what a team. I didn't even get a lick in." Brin watches as the creatures are dispatched.
I need to have my blade out more often.
The half giant dispels his huge flail and replaces it with a huge greatsword.
Straehan turns his attention from the thoroughly dismembered undead to the room itself and the wealth of potential information found in the scattered tomes and documents. He sweeps the area with magic sight before giving the room and documents a thorough look.

Kaddoc spends the next 2 rounds(12s) recovering from the scream and calming down, letting his more perceptive companions poke around the room.
"Nice little fight."
Cilyanka says, Wow, you guys tore right through those creepy things.
I assume this is Dras' son?
No. You were told Das' son was nine when he dissapeared. Examination shows this was an infant, or given other damage to the female figure, a fetus.
Give me an int or KN: local check.
"Well, we have a small army here, no wonder it was quick." Ryu mentions as he looks around. Just as he assumed, clearing out the place using the numbers of this group works to his advantage.

INT
"Also, the issue at hand right now is not who these were when still alive, but that there had to be some demonology or necromancy at play to make these out of them. Thus I assume someone practicing these has to be near." Ryu points at the defeated things. "I say lets burn them, not just because the mortals which they once were, but also because it is the only true method to ensure they don't crawl after us in a few days or years while we are asleep in the night." Ryu then grins at Strae. "Although you already grilled them a bit, well done."
He takes a few steps inside to look around then goes back to the door.
"We are lucky this was the first room we checked, these things could have attacked us from behind if we we had went to the other first.
Of course it doesn't mean there is no greater monstrosity awaiting us there."
Ryu points at the defeated things. "I say lets burn them, not just because the mortals which they once were, but also because it is the only true method to ensure they don't crawl after us in a few days or years while we are asleep in the night."
"At the risk of sounding morbid, we should probably look them over carefully, first. They may provide us with useful information."
Ryu then grins at Strae. "Although you already grilled them a bit, well done."
Strae chuckles, "Well Done? Nah, I'd say they are Medium at best. Not my finest work, by far. I'll try to show you something memorable next time."
The fancily coifed and dressed woman says [b]"Ryu Kaijisu, I presume? How can I help you?"
"Oh hells" Ryu calls out in surprise, but soon realizes this is both a good and bad thing in many ways.
He now knows who these were when alive, Ryu doesn't have to worry about another sibling to show up, and ...well, doesn't get more family members what he actually wished for when coming to this city.
Ryu gently takes the glass up, cleans it, and examines it in light. He doesn't open it, as he hopes someone may be able to cast a spell on the item to know more of its past. He then goes to the two creatures, looks closer at them, then speaks a few words. "By the divine fires, you will be freed, and your torturers punished." He never knew them, but as a Kaijitsu he now has a reason to swear vengeance in the name of the Divine Phoenix and his family, despite that he feels nothing when looking at them, other than considering already how to take advantage of this when going back to Lonjiku.
It is just a duty for the family.
As Ryu stands there considering the fine lines of justice, laws, and morals the others obviously realize that he has found something.
"So you, um, want to poke around that thing? Ewww." Sparrow slowly comes up to the creature, poking at it at a distance with an arrow. Looking at the burned young one, a flash of anger passes. "All right, probably for the best."
If the Mayor and her share a building, it ought to have a dozen extra ears and eyes, considering their dislike for each other.

Sense Motive Sense current mental state
Diplomacy Win her over with polite kindness and persuade her to move outside to talk
Meanwhile, at the present time in the room, Ryu speaks up. "Anyone knows how to read the past events through magic, using an item as its focus?" At worse case, Ryu believes his sister or someone else in the city may be able to do it, but something may be missed here on the island if it is not done on the spot.
Ryu is right for once says Cilyanka. We should probably cremate them. I'd hate to have them decide they're still not quite dead and come looking for us.
"Situation just changed a bit, this was once my unborn half-sibling, and its mother." Ryu sighs. "I have to make a proper funeral pyre and perform a Flame Ceremony for them."
"You don't suppose this might be Natsu Kaij...." Sparrow instantly shuts up and glances at Ryu.

"Look's like I'll have to do my priestessly duties."
"I will fulfill the ceremony myself. I need however a pyre prepared, and if possible, someone should seek out the past of this pendant to know more of the events." Ryu wasn't really willing to let a drunken woman do a funeral ceremony, plus she is unlikely to also follow the Divine Phoenix.
"We should decide now if we want to make the pyre right away, or check the other door first." He looks up from the two twisted bodies.

"Your just against it since I still have some booze in my system right?
or is it about who I follow?"
