Fey backs away from the thing, and begins to cast a spell.
Casting Summon Monster 1. I assume this is a Know Dungeon.
Dusklord tries to identify the creature. It seems undead, and does not have a skeleton, so his spell does not affect the creature. Feybella begins to cast Summon Monster I.
The creature keeps sliding towards you, filling the corridor. It moves much faster now.
Everyone other than Dusklord, please roll for reflex again to avoid being engulfed by the creature (or take an attack of opportunity against the creature.

Hmmm...I'm confused by the response to my knowledge roll. If it's undead, I rolled a 31, which means I should be able to not only identify a creature with a CR up to 21, but find out things about it for every 5 points I exceed the DC. I was hoping for 1) vulnerabilities 2) immunities 3) special abilities.
As for my Boneshaker spell, even though it doesn't damage undead, it still needs to make a save or I can force it to move. If it's mindless, it doesn't get a save.
Monster Lore:
Monster Lore
You can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities.
Check: In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s CR. For common monsters, such as goblins, the DC of this check equals 5 + the monster’s CR. For particularly rare monsters, such as the tarrasque, the DC of this check equals 15 + the monster’s CR or more. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.
boneshaker:
An undead creature takes no damage. Instead, you manipulate the undead, forcing it to take an immediate action to either move up to its speed (provoking attacks of opportunity as normal) or make a single attack against a creature of your choice in its reach. Either of these is the most basic version of the action the creature can take (it doesn’t activate any special abilities that it could apply to the movement or attack, such as grab). A successful saving throw negates this effect. A mindless undead creature doesn’t receive a save against this effect.

Dusklord: I missed that - sorry! You identify the creature as an undead ooze - you know of no special vulnerabilities other than most undead ones, and it is immune to cold (and critical / precision-type hits).
Boneshaker:
This didn't work because the ooze has no skeleton.
By using a bone fetish like a marionette, you take control of a target creature’s skeleton. This has a variety of effects depending on whether the target is living or undead...

Fey tries to scramble out of the way as her spell finishes.
Cody, E'li and Feybella dodge the advancing pile of goo. Hastard is slower and disappears within the black putrid mass.
Hastard, cold damage:1d6 ⇒ 3
In the meanwhile, everyone else gangs up on the ooze. The enormous creature is almost impossible to miss. Nord gores it, Cody burns it, and even E'li's weak swing tears some of its surface. Feybella's eagle and her own longspear finish the task. The ooze simply splits, filling the hallway with sticky black pieces and old bones.
Combat over!
After cleaning yourselves for a bit, you realize that you are stuck in the corridor - the large T on the map is now a boulder that blocks your exit.
"HrEck" resounds from Hastard's gullet, as he chokes back the bile within. "OHweee! That was nasty! Thank you for your rapid reactions."
Ensuring all are ok and ready to proceed, he retrieves his dropped items. Looking hard at the lance, before stowing it, the gnome mumbles "No. If we just start assuming we'll have to kill...we're no better than those Aspis." Keeping his sap in hand, he climbs back aboard Nord.
"Shall we then? Seems there's something in the way here....Give me and Nord a hand?"

Fey moves up and takes a look at the boulder. She Detects Magic on it. "Anyone an engineer? Can we move this thing?"

The warpriest
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 helps to look around
Hastard can't move the boulder, which seems all-natural and not magical to Feybella. In the meanwhile, Cody, Dusklord and E'li all search around for anything unusual but find nothing. Time passes and you begin to be concerned about not being able to leave the corridor.
It is surprisingly Nord who finally begins to grunt in victory standing in front of a part of the wall. Placing your hand in front of the small cleft between two blocks you can feel a weak draft of air. A few minutes of searching the area afterwards, you find the mechanism used to open the door, realizing that the cleft was one of its hinges. The secret door opens into a larger hall.
The stench of death is strong in this ornate shrine. Another mosaic like that found in the grand temple above lies on the floor immediately west of the entryway. Two rows of slender columns carved with dizzying designs support the ceiling twenty feet overhead and every inch of the chamber's walls is covered with intricate sigils and pictograms. A fat pillar stands in the center of the chamber. Six corpses lie on the floor near the base of this central pillar. An altar of red marble stands near the western wall, and it has iron manacles attached to its surface. The air is charged with palpable malevolence.

Fey looks around, and moves forward carefully. "Dusklord it smells like your kind of place. Full of the dead."
Slowly making their way deeper into the room, Hastard draws his lance. "Anyone see anything?" he inquires, glancing about. "Hey, there's an exit over here on the side. Perhaps it leads past that boulder?"

He will enchant his sling with goodness and get a sling bullet ready.
Your skin crawls with every second that passes with you within the underground hall. You all feel uneasy and distracted. Hastard moves into the darkness deeper in the room. As he stops for a second, you see movement on the far side of the room, behind the alter. A humanlike figure appears, pointing at Hastard and triumphantly yelling the last few words.
Please roll for initiative. Hastard, please also roll a Will save.

Hastard shakes off the spell. The figure grins at you, and you can almost feel the malice in his smile. He used to be an elf, it seems, but is clearly undead now. His pale purple skin emits a soft threatening glow, complemented by his glowing red eyes. His hands end with two large and very sharp claws. He hisses at you and his tongue, maybe a foot and a half long, shoots out of his mouth in anticipation for the battle. He then begins gesturing at you.
"HeYaw!" cries out the gnome, kicking Nord forward. The pair charge straight ahead towards the far side of the room. Hastard stabs at the foe as they right by, while Nord lashes out with his tusks.

Hastard charges into the undead creature, but it simply steps aside as Nord missteps. Hastard reorganizes himself and prepares for battle on the other side of the hall when a wave of unbearable stench hits him and Nord. The creature begins to cackle, stopping for just a second when E'li's stone hits his arm.
Hastard, please roll Fort saves for yourself and Nord. We're still waiting on Cody, and if someone wants to play Feybella for this round it'd be great!
Cody and Panda move halfway towards the undead, where the hunter cast Burst of Radiance {link} centered on the creature.
Burst of Radiance blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, or dazzled for same rounds if they succeed at a DC14 Reflex save. Evil creatures in the area of the burst take 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 1) = 10 points of damage, whether they succeed at the Reflex save or not.

Fey casts Bless on the party, and moves slightly closer. "Dusklord are you alright?"
Welcome back Feybella! Sv. Reflex:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Hastard: you, but not Nord, are sickened (–2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.).
The undead creature, who must be a ghast, continues to cackle hysterically, although Cody's burst of radiance seems to burn him. It does not, however slow him down. He begins to cast another spell, again at Hastard.
Hastard, please roll a Will save.
At the same time, two additional undead - ghouls - suddenly emerge from the corridor leading off the southern wall of the room, rushing forward. One of them, who glints with magic, attacks Feybella, trying to bite and claw her. Feybella dodges the bite and one of the claw attacks, but the other claw attack hits her, drawing blood. The other ghoul reaches E'li, threatening the warpriest.
