Round one: Sidious updates the team on the approaching Golem and asks where they should face it as he heals Eldred. Johan makes his suggestion as he fishes out the wand and starts healing himself. Eldred darts for the other room. Agrippa sends Croc downstairs in response to Sid's warning.
Round two: Johan and Sideous move into position on either side of the door, Eldred stealths himself in area 45. If Agrippa ordered the croc to destroy anything that moved downstairs, then it should hit the golem this round, maybe buying us an extra round of prep time - I assume we'd be able to hear sounds of combat from downstairs?
Agrippa readies a grease spell for anything coming up the stairs
In hiding Eldred drinks his potion of cure light wounds.
As the knot starts to take up their positions, Johan uses the wand one more time on his wounds, then if time permits renews his prayers of strength to the Dark Prince . He clangs his mace on his shield and yells out a wordless challenge from the other side of the door. Their plan relies on whatever is coming up the stairs coming in this room, so he does his best to attract its attention.
Sidious Will step out to where he can cover everyone and casts Bless on the group. His familiar lands on his shoulder and the dwarven skeleton guard comes and stands in front of him.
Round one:
The golem moves upstairs and Agrippa cast his readied spell, while the summoned monster attack the golem.
surprisingly the golem was able to stay standing in the area.
The golem will try to break free.
The golem will attack:
The mage suddenly appears out of thin air flying, his skins have a metallic tone, at his hand a small wand. At the same moment a ball of fire explodes where Johan and Sidious are.
"I'll kill you all for all that you have done!" yells the furious mage.

You fool! You have certainly killed the lord with your wanton burst of fire. Sidous taunts, figuring there is no way the caster can know if the lord was still alive.
He delays his attack until after the others act.
Crocodile bite if attack and grab are successful and the Golem is prone.
Agrippa begins casting Summon Swarm
Crocodile will maintain grapple and deal bite damage automatically

Johan burns. His exposed skin blisters and cracks and the metal plates of his armor sear the flesh they are supposed to be protecting. The proud sigils of Talingarde still decorating his mail and shield char to soot and ash. Johan whispers a hoarse prayer, focusing his mind past the agony, and repeating the words Thorn had taught him when the high priest first baptized him in hellfire. Great Asmodeus, thank you for purging the doubt and pride from me through this gift of cleansing fire. He repeated the mantra over and over in head as he charged headlong at the wizard.

Kill the wizard damn it. Then we can all focus on the golem!
Agrippa finishes casting his spell, summoning a swarm of rats, that immediately leaves the golem area, searching for an alive pray.
It moves just over the fallen Johan and the grappled duo.
After summoning the swarm, the mage creates a pit beneath the golem.
The golem it’s unable to escape the spell, the fall and the spikes however, did do much to it’s icy form.
Eldred losing his target (the golem), changes to the grappled mage, shooting two arrows at it, hitting both! However, some sort of barrier absorbed the arrows impact, and what the barrier did not absorbed, the stony skin prevented the remaining damage.
A furious Sidious yells two times to his incompetent allies to kill the f@#!ing mage! While his familiar get’s invisible again and fly away from the combat.

Sidious is forced to maintain the grapple in the rat swarm. Loosing his temper he yells
Get these rats off of me! And someone come and kill this wizard now.

Agrippa calls out It is going to explode when it dies, I really wouldn't advise being near it when that happens. then he invisibly moves towards room 46 as far as he can go in one move action, drawing a scroll of haste and casting it on the party.
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
Eldred mentally notes that it will explode and resolves to give Sidious time to get Johan free or at least moving.
In the dream the grasping hands pull him deeper and deeper down, into the fire, and he welcomes it. Finally, he will get what his wretched soul deserves. But then Tiadora is there. Her face cold, beautiful and furious. "Get up," she chides. Did you think you'd be allowed to get away from us that easily. Coward, laggard. GET UP!!"
Johan starts awake with a gasp. Seeing the golem looming over him he rolls away and tries to get to his feet, then calls on Asmodeus to heal his wounds so he may continue the fight.
