Perhaps you still have a clear charge path to red? You move 4 or 5 squares up, then shift diagonally to the right moving another 4 or 5 squares up. That's a straight line to a target avoiding Roldala's current position, right?

Ah OK. Sounds like you might still be able to charge subject to an Acrobatics check? Give it a go, I'm sure Cervantes will be juuuust fine! And if he falls flat on his face, I have to admit... Busta will laugh!
Assuming you make the acrobatics check, Cervantes, it's not difficult terrain or anything. I'd say it allows charge assuming you don't faceplant from a misplaced toe.
Everybody please check into gameplay when you're positioned how you'd like to be.
In case Setare is attacked she uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of tshe opponent is lower than Setare's parry then the opponent does not hit and Setare could potentially reposte)
Opportune Parry:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
In case Setare successfully parries she uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the opponent that attacked her.
Let's test their mettle, shall we? No need to bring in Hell's Legions unless things turn south. A jet black wand with pulsing veins of red shoots out of Lutorinus' sleeve. "The Lord of Darkness bids you all to exceed his expectations in this endeavor," he mutters, as a brief moment of darkness spreads from the wand.
________
Swift action to draw wand, Standard to cast Bless.
If successful, Busta declares, "I got 'im!! Someone smack 'im!!!"
If Busta is attacked...:
Busta's current AC is 27. If he is attacked and isn't already grappling someone, Busta will use snapping turtle clutch as an immediate action to try and grapple the attacker.
Grapple attack, clutch penalty, bless:1d20 + 20 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 20 - 2 + 1 = 38
Setare JUST connects with her attack, but the creature seems to resist a bit of the damage. Lutorinus casts bless on everybody, and though filled with a bit of Hell's power, everybody feels bolstered. Busta walks up to grapple the golem and manages to successfully grapple!
The cyan golem attempts to slam into the tiny pro-wrestler that's managed to grapple it. It manages to land BOTH attacks, dealing 27 damage to the poor halfling.
In response, the halfling tightens his hold on the creature, and an explosion of splinters erupts around the creature (flavor. The ability is activated as a free action). However, Setare, Busta, and Roldala are able to jump out of the way of the largest of the splinters. No damage to Busta due to evasion. 10 damage to Setare. 7 damage after DR to Roldala.
Hearing its friend getting attacked, the red golem activates and marches down towards Roldala. Double move As the creature arrives next to the barbarian, it missteps a bit, sending yet another barrage of splinters out, this time hitting more people. As splinters go flying Setare, Roldala, and Lutorinus are able to quickly duck out of the way of some large pieces, but Busta and Cervantes are both hit by a large piece. 21 damage to Busta and Cervantes. 10 damage to Setare and Lutorinus. 7 damage to Roldala.
Wait time red:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Wait time cyan:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
9 damage to Cyan
Well. That was eventful.

"Oooouch!! These guys hit hard! But I'm fine... I'm fine!" Hmmm...maybe not so fine... But he presses on!
Busta attempts to maintain as a move action...
Grapple attack, maintain, bless:1d20 + 20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 20 + 5 + 1 = 39
If successful, Busta pins the construct.
Busta then attempts to maintain again with a standard action...
Grapple attack, maintain, bless:1d20 + 20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 5 + 1 = 29
If successful, Busta ties up the construct with rope from his robe of infinite twine.
If Busta is attacked...:
Busta's current AC is 27. If the attack on Busta misses and Busta isn't already grappling someone, Busta will use snapping turtle clutch as an immediate action to try and grapple the attacker.

Roldala drops from the wall, gingerly stepping back as she unlimbers her long-hafted hammer, she smashes it into the golem before her with all the strength in her long sinewy arms.
In case Setare is attacked she uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of tshe opponent is lower than Setare's parry then the opponent does not hit and Setare could potentially reposte)
Opportune Parry:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
In case Setare successfully parries she uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the opponent that attacked her.
Lutorinus frowns at the constructs, but isn't too perturbed by sprays of splinters. They look of poor make. I doubt they will last much longer, despite their opening volley. Pulling what appears to be a ruby riveted fountain pen, he deftly anoints Roldala with an Asmodean Pentagram. "What marvelous strength! Our Lord commends your fiery passion and compels you to continue!"
________
I suspect our heavy hitters will make short work of these things, but I'll start adding bodies to the field if they are sturdier than I suspect. Infernal Healing on Roldala.
Val knows these are Wood Golems. The splinter attack can only be activated once every 3-or-so rounds (1d4+1), and that they are immune to all magics EXCEPT fire and select other spells.
Busta manages to tie up the cyan golem, and it whirrs in frustration. Roldala manages to Smack into the red golem, sending splinters flying. Cervantes' strike is equally effective, and though glitching out a bit, the golem still stands. Setare attempts to attack the tied up cyan golem and manages to land a solid hit, but it seems less effective than it should be. Lutorinus, then, attempts to cast a spell on Roldala, but Roldala's innate fear of spellcasters negates the spell's effect.

Red has taken 57 damage.
Cyan has taken 18 damage and is tied up (Cannot escape).

The Asura rushes at the golem, and the golem smashes into the poor thing. After the DR, though, the golem only manages to deal 6 damage to the creature. The tiny Asura doesn't trip it.
The blue golem seems completely incapable of escaping the rope. The red golem continues its assault on the first target it spotted, Roldala. The creature's two slams deal a total of 16 damage (after DR) to the barbarian.
In case Setare is attacked she uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of tshe opponent is lower than Setare's parry then the opponent does not hit and Setare could potentially reposte)
Opportune Parry:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
In case Setare successfully parries she uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the opponent that attacked her.
If that isn't divine retribution for her insolence, then I don't know what is. Lutorinus thinks smugly to himself as the golem lays into Roldala. As the brutes brutalize the golem, he steps forward to Cervantes. "Surely, you aren't a fool as well?" he asks rhetorically as he rapidly inscribes an Asmodean Pentagram upon the second barbarian's back with his ruby pen.

Get them y'all! Woo! Infernal Healing on Cervantes.
If successful, then Bust will try to maintain as a move action
Grapple attack, maintain, bless:1d20 + 20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 5 + 1 = 33
If successful, Busta pins the construct.
If the red construct is dead...:
Busta will move away from the tied up construct (to the token's current location), giving other party members space to close in and bash on it.
As Busta moves away, he draws a wand of CLW and attempts to UMD it on himself.
UMD:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
If Busta is attacked...:
Busta's current AC is 27. If the attack on Busta misses and Busta isn't already grappling someone, Busta will use snapping turtle clutch as an immediate action to try and grapple the attacker.
Grapple attack, clutch penalty, bless:1d20 + 20 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 20 - 2 + 1 = 35
Giving up his perch on the wall, Val moves slowly over the hazardous ground to Busta. Wish a touch a a wand, Busta's wounds begin to close while giving off a slight smell of sulfur.
Move at half speed, drawing a wand, then cast infernal healing on Busta.[/occ]

Through the combination of Roldala's attacks and Busta's tying up, the red golem dies and the blue golem finds itself COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of breaking out of the rope.
Lutorinus anointing the injured with his pen. "Have you come to your sense yet?" he asks Roldala, holding the pen ready. She is likely her fighting skills are of use.
________
Everyone injured gets an Infernal Healing from me! If you want to use your wand, just roll healing after taking off the ten from the IH. Lutorinus will heal people up with his wand if you don't have your own.
Puffing up with pride at being asked to lead, Lutorinus takes a moment to ponder his findings. "Let us hook back around to investigate the arcane sigil I found upon the floor. I didn't have time to inspect it as well as I'd like, and I'm sure our esteemed colleague Val might know a thing or two as well," he decides.
Lutorinus' gaze snaps to Roldala. "What did you just call me?" he demands, clearly incensed. "I am from Isger, half-breed and don't you forget it. The Chelaxians are nothing more than a rotting vestige of their former glory who insist on chaffing Isgeri necks under their yoke, murdering my countrymen with their apathy. Don't ever call me a Chelaxian again."
Done with this conversation, he heads part of the way to the arcane sigil.

Completely not ignoring the tension, Busta leans casually against the stone wall next to him and says, "Woo! Anyone else get the feeling the green guy doesn't much like the red guy? So much anger, so much tension! You guys are so exciting! Right Cervantes?"
Busta turns towards Cervantes expecting some affirmation but once Busta turns towards Cervantes, Busta realizes (to his surprise) that the stone wall he was leaning on is actually Cervantes' right butt cheek.
"Woah! Sorry there buddy! But dude, you've got buttocks of stone!"
And on that note, Busta turns his attention back to the room ahead as the party prepares to press on.
"Not every problem has a kinetic solution," Lutorinus responds wryly to Cervantes as he keeps moving towards the sigil. His tail still swishes angrily despite the level demeanor he has adopted.

Detect Magic!
The room appears to be some sort of archery range. Upon entering the room, you notice sharp blasts of wind in seemingly random directions. It's a surprising amount of wind.
Busta fort:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Nobody is knocked over by the force of the wind, and Lutorinus does detect magic on the arcane mark.
DC 19 Spellcraft or DC 15 UMD:
You identify the command word to activate the glyph, which uses Minor creation to form archery targets.
"If that is all it appears to be, then let us press forward to something Cervantes can 'whack'," Lutorinus comments, also ready to move through the room and into the hallway.
