If only that damn gnome would get out of the way, then we could do some real damage to these things thinks the hunter.

Shaking the sleep from her head, Zalanda races to meet here companions. In a sarcastic tone she yells. "Thanks for letting me sleep but if you didn't know I do not need any beauty sleep. I'am about as good looking as it gets!!"
Seeing the burning men come out of hiding. "Whoa, what mess are we in now?"
I believe the only enemies are the elementals at each end of the area. The other marks on the map are just rocks. You should be able to go after either enemies without provoking an AoO.
The striking cuts the fire creature in two.
This Combat is over.
The bull-headed statues leer down on the valley while the flame-carved hoodoos rise gracefully far above the canyon floor.
the canyon floor seems safe to walk.
The Arch is at The East end of the Canyon.

"Well, that was fast. Good because I hate the sight of blood." Zalanda says as she casually walks into the room with her loaded crossbow at her hip and scans the area.
Under The Arch, Zalanda's foots touch somethings ... They are two old corpses wear armors.
Ruki's eyes with the magic see arrows and oil pots near there.
They feel the bless from somebody's power.
you can get four oils of bless weapon, and four +1 holy arrow :)
"Fine work Suki. This oil will come in handy if we encounter any true evil in this place. I suggest that we move up and inspect the entrance to the citadel."
With that, Yao moves forward, keeping a watchful eye as he approaches the archway.

Zalanda moves forward with the warrior to inspect the archway. "Do not get to close there may be magical traps or barriers on the arch. Let me try to detect any magical auras." Waving her hand in a small circular motion and chanting a few short cryptic phrases.

Zelanda find the messages on the wall near two corpses. can't read it by her knowledge now.
but the message is easy to copy on anything.
Beyond the arch, the red stone hoodoos open up to a massive citadel.
The stronghold appears to have two parts: the nearest is a squat, square fortress covered in decaying plaster and topped by an enormous minaret from which a thin plume of smoke escapes.
The plaster walls are richly decorated with intricate geometric carvings of dancing flames, and smaller minarets rise from the corners.
at the east end of that building,the valley floor drops suddenly and a windowless second structure perches on a plateau beyond, rising gracefully from the void in a tangle of minarets and spires.
Even though centuries of sand have scoured away most of the gold leaf that once decorated the structure, the sunlight reflecting off the deep red stone of the citadel makes the entire structure glow like a massive bonfire.
A delicate, red, enclosed bridge links the first fortress with the second one beyond.
A pair of massive brass doors covered in a flowing decorative script blocks access to the near fortress.
Disable is a class skill for Alchemists, and it looks like he is at a +6 from his character sheet. Doesn't look like he has posted in a couple of days though.
Yao nudges Ehm, encouraging him to look for any traps on the doors before going in.

Zalanda will recite the message on the wall over and over until she has committed it to memory. Then she will follow Yoa thru the doorway checking for any threats or more writing.
