Sargon floats to the top of the crypt near the hanging banner but he is careful not to touch it. He casts his spell which washes over the wall of force but does not penetrate; however, it does create a usual effect: a narrow moat of voidness around coffin and the pedestal. The coffin itself and the guardian remain in the middle of the moat, like an island.
I did just read that there are certain adverse effect when certain spells with descriptors are cast.
The acid from Sargon's spell does something you haven't seen before as the moat is created... it sizzles and creates a mud grue. A creature of elemental creation. It'll join the initiative at the end of the round.
Ranger focus on the target, and load it up with arrows.

Omar you realize the true nature of the cursed gloves.
Seeing the pit open up in front of him, Dragox holds his action. If the creature avoids the pit, Dragox moves to it, declaring his Smite attack and throwing down.
Dragox declares a Smite (if I didn't do that before). He raises his weapon, waiting on the creature to advance on him. "Come face your destruction, monster!"
Omar's arrows clink and clank off the wall of force breaking throught he hardness but damaging the spell but none of this arrows actually penetrate the barrier.
RD 1: Guardian
He sneers at Omar marking him as an enemy and then looks start at the invisible general. The guardian then begins to lift off the tomb but stays inside the protective wall of force.
Sargon flies over behind Dragox and hits the wall with Disintegrate
Dragox grabs a potion off his belt, tears off the stopper and drinks it down.
Sargon your disintegrate spell dissolves part of the wall of force. It is definitely weakened but it is not destroyed. The guardian smirks and nods.

Dragox gives it a good bashing but the creature is stout.
The beasts wounds knit back together rapidly as he glares at the Dragox.
With a flurry the bastard sword begins it's attack on Dragox as the two creatures battle midair.

Sargon casts Dazing Acid Arrow...Will Save DC23
Sargon's ranged touch attack hits but the acid evaporates harmlessly on the guardian's skin and it easily overcomes the daze effects fo the spell.
Omar curses loudly when he drops his bow, then strikes home when he manages to get his shot off. The arrow hits but guardian absorb much of the damage.

All three of Dragox's attacks strike home and his weapon rents a few deep wounds but the guardian doesn't flinch. Some of the wounds begin to regenerate as it unleashes it's assault on the graverobbing paladin.
The bastrad sword slashes and dances in the guardian's hands,

The paladin finally feels a challenge in this god-foresaken tomb as the Guardian slashes off two pounds of half-orc flesh.

The grease hits successfully but to Generals disgust the weapon remains in the Guardian's hand. Just as it began to slip from its grip the pommel fuses to his hand.
Dragox swings furiously at the Guardian and hits twice but the sturdy protector remains upright. He is battered but still kicking.
The last vicious attack by the paladin destroys the guardian.
Within the room you all notice there are jars designed to look like animal heads lining two of the walls. All the jars are burntfrom sargon's earlier fireball and four of the 12 jars are shattered spilling the contents on the floor.
- broken bear spilling 500 pp
- broken mole spilling 1000 CP
- broken donkey spilling 1000 lead pieces
- broken horse spilling a glass vial onto the floor. 40% chance the viaa broke from the fall
Here are the remaining animal totems on the shelves which have not cracked and spilled their contents onto the ground:
-Tiger
-Snake
-Toad
-Camel
-Dog
-Cat
-Raven
-Goat
Each of the urns stand 3 feet tall and 10 inches in diameter. They all have stoppers in them.
On inspection of the sarcophagus that the guardian was originally standing on you can see that it can be slid open.
The guardian had the following items: +2 bastard sword, +4 splint mail, and interesting looking stone.
You also know there is a door on the back wall and that door had the caltrops that Sargon blew away with his spell.
"The caltrops are still there to, blocking a door. "
Dragox plopped down in the corner. "I need to rest for several hours, so that I might regain my healing abilities. A gust of wind ocukd knock me out right now," he says sullenly.
