Note: the following description might be limited for some due to their specific visions types.
The door opens upon a dark cathedral-like hall with a vaulted (30-foot-tall) ceiling supported by eight square pillars. Dominating the middle of the hall is a huge mound of undulating gray-green flesh covered with weeping scarlet boils. The entire mass stinks of a weeks-old corpse. Writhing about the flesh is a cluster of emaciated, degenerate beings most are vaguely humanoid (solid borders) with dog-like muzzles and long tongues, but some are more canine than others (dashed borders) almost completely adapted to moving on all fours. They sway almost like they are drugged before the great mass of pulsating flesh.
Roll once for both sorts of beings (when your character can see them) and open all the spoilers for that being that apply.

Both types of creatures are varieties of ghouls. Ghouls are undead that haunt graveyards and eat corpses.

Borox sees Garrapata staring into the room with wonder and decides he needs to look for himself at what is inside the room. This might be a good time for him to cast some buffs or defensive spells for the party before a battle breaks out. He double moves to the position he is in now and looks into the room.

Kaillum puts his pistol away and grabs his bow and readies an arrow.

Seeing his dwarf ally start the show, Kaillum lets an arrow fly at The only enemy he can see through the mass of bodies.

"Agreed! chokepoint and alley of attacks as they emerge out of the hallway. When enough have gathered in this room, perhaps Borox can paint them all with holy fire!"
AoOs and channel after two rounds or so? I'm also thinking Prof. should bomb that putrid mass with fire...
When the first creature enters the hallway and crosses Raynor's reach (i.e. where Prof. is currently located), Raynor strikes with an AoO as follows:

I am waiting for my next round to begin, but when it does I am going to cast Burst of Radiance from the scroll I pulled out and have it detonate on the Green ghoul that is directly in front of me. That will result in a 10-ft. radius which should encompass him and five of his fellow undead. I'll direct the next one to hit when the others move closer towards us and hopefully gathering for another blast.

Speaking of, this room originally had 56 trolls, a pile of treasure, and no food, or water or sanitation in it. Really. ;)
Kaillum, Raynor, remember there are going to be cover penalties (-4 to hit, no attacks of opportunity, and so on) for fighting through your friends (and hard corners as well).
That and there is no light in the room so some folks might be dealing with concealment (20% miss chance) as well.
Prof A. And there are range penalties to consider as well.
Kaillum lances a bolt around his friends but the effort seems to draw little response from his target as it and its fellow ghouls (even the canine seeming fetrogs continue to chant.
The Professor arcs a bomb into the ghoul's midst to devastating effect.

But, the ghouls don't seem to react. Like lotus-eaters they seem a bit stunned. The chant ends slowly among some of them. One of the ghouls even claws out a shuddering hunk of the green mass and begins to eat it messily.

Seeing that the ghouls appear to be stunned, Raynor decides to suppress his disgust at the massive stinking blob and makes a sortie to attack the nearest creature, lance shining with light. Raynor also suppress his desire for a war cry, in order to remain somewhat stealthy against any potential creatures from other rooms.

Borox casts Burst of Radiance and centers it on the green ghoul directly in front of him 45 feet away! It detonates upon it and a brilliant flash lights up the darkness!
Burst of Radiance damage:4d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 3) = 9 Burst of Radiance blinding:1d4 ⇒ 4 Burst of Radiance dazzling:1d4 ⇒ 3
This spell fills the area with a brilliant flash of shimmering light. Creatures in the area are blinded for 1d4 rounds, or dazzled for 1d4 rounds if they succeed at a Reflex save. Evil creatures in the area of the burst take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (max 5d4), whether they succeed at the Reflex save or not. Has a 10-ft. radius effect. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/burst-of-radiance/

Technically, Borox target's an intersection of squares, but I get where you are going.
Several ghouls drop in a wave of holy energy. A festrog falls to Raynor's lance, while El Garrapata beats a ghoul to the ground with a jaw crunching left hook of justice.

Raynor is nearly stunned again by the level of evil pouring off the two-story mass of green-hued flesh in the center of the chamber. It drowns out all other possible sources.
Alkarion follows up with some craft-brew alchemist's fire blowing his target to pieces and showering fire upon those nearby.

Seeing the undead close in, Alkarion drops another bomb. "This is a fascinating experiment, I've never actually had this many undead trying to eat me at once. I wonder who will be faster?"
Move up the wall 10 feet and around the room to get above and to the other side of the ghouls, then aim a bomb at solid orange, splashing dotted blue and dotted purple.

Raynor impales one of the incoming festrogs on his lance. While the spacial distortions in the Spire that have on occasion conspired against the party reward Garrapata's attempts to bludgeon his foes. They both fall senseless to the ground.
The Professor levels a bomb at a ghoul and impacts squarely on the skulking creature showering more fire into the room.
Raynor calls down heaven's light but something in the area seems to dim it a bit, bolstering the undead.
Only the grievously wounded bomb victim collapses under the holy invocation.
The parts of the great mass caught in the edge of the holy aura appear to burn as if struck by acid. The wounds though quickly heal as the party watches--great scabs form over the wounds. Raynor feels a great reverberating shudder though the ether of the place. The ghouls seem to feel it too.
Borox calls down more blinding divine light from his scroll.

Move action to get a view behind the pillar; I'd like to reserve my standard until I know what I see.

"I'm tapped! I can't bring on a big boom again today! If smoke cannot be vented out of here, I can try poking it with the lance, as it still hums with the Harborwing's divine favor!"
He doesn't believe in 'game balance'. Gandalf always lets him pass. As a feat, he has Exotic Weapon Proficiency (beard). The city guard often question him, just because they find him so interesting. His dice bag is woven from tarrasque leather. His TPKs end game lines. His blood cures moderate wounds. He once punched a flumph. Yes, you heard me. He belongs to a prestige class whose sole requirement for entry is just being him. ♬ He is indeed, the most interesting GM in the world. ♬
The party dispatch the last of the ghouls and festrogs.
END COMBAT

Traditionally (in the works of H. P. Lovecraft), ghouls 'meep'. The ghoul that Raynor just finished off had been blinded by Borox last round and meeped in surprise when it happened. What I should have said was the top of the map and not north.... although with the spacial distortions figuring out which way is actually 'north' is more difficult than normal.
The mass of flesh smells of death and unwashed bodies. It towers a full 20-feet-tall and probably amounts to a 120 tons in weight.
Now, in the wake of the battle, it might be a good time to review your mission objectives. Feel free to discuss.

The parts of the great mass caught in the edge of the holy aura appear to burn as if struck by acid.
About the above: Raynor still has 6 rounds or so of Divine Favor on that lance, so he will do the following routine three times before rethinking his options:
1. Charge and strike with lance at reach; (x3)
2. Poke with lance and backup 10 feet to prepare next charge. (x3)

Within three-and-a-half minutes of the initial attack all of the lance poking and divine damage is erased by new growth. The flesh is surprisingly resilient too (hardness 2).

Looking at the handout, it looks like we found the hall of the flesh eaters; let's secure the last door to the southwest before we start digging in the collapsed rubble
Raynor waits for everyone to be healed and buffed, taking the opportunity to pull out a scroll of divine favor and casting it on himself; then he opens the door to the southwest.

Alkarion takes notes on the resiliency of the bizarre fleshy tower as Raynor attacks it.
He then takes out the original note from Venture-Captain Benarry. "Well, it says here that Thrennt hid the Orb in a side chamber off of a "Hall of Flesh-Eaters" and collapsed the entrance. This room would certainly qualify as a Hall of Flesh-Eaters, so I suspect that rubble there might be our target."

"Yes, but there's two doors to what could be the same room, Prof. Shouldn't we be better exploring the last room first to make sure nothing pops out of there while we dig??"
