Does Ogochukwu recognize the other two masks?

Looking at the masks, Cymric shrugs his shoulders, "Seeker is correct, and I do not know anything else about them."

A goddess of life and death. A god of wealth and cities. Fitting for a man of Akhentepi's stature. Since Akhentepi was a military leader, it follows that one of the other masks must be a god or goddess related to warfare and conquest. Seeker doesn't know what the fourth might be. Perhaps a being representing nobility or bloodlines. He makes a note to return here after they have cleared the tomb of any remaining danger to sketch the masks so he can research them in the city libraries later. He also notes that Azwynn no longer looks ill. As if history was rewriting itself and she were never poisoned to begin with.
Anything of interest in the next room? Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
This monk archetype gets bardic knowledge at level four, so enjoy being the smart man for now. Seeker's day will come.
Cymric you do not recognise the other two gods that are depicted.
Seeker you move into the next chamber. A table displaying a three-dimensional diorama occupies much of the north side of this room. Three shields with different designs are displayed upon a rack against the east wall, while various weapons hang from another rack along the south wall. Arrayed around the room are five small chests and a clay urn.

I meant for Ogochukwu to be in the room since he was looking at the shields and helping Cymric with searching for traps. I went ahead and placed him there. Would any of the dolls have provoked by whatever movement they did? Ogochukwu has a reach weapon and, thanks to combat reflexes, is not flat footed before he acts.
"So many little dolls! Come to our aid, companions." He shouts before glancing down at his breastplate and closing his eyes in concentration. He opens them again and looks uncomfortably from doll to doll. he cast a spell on himself: Shield
oh, speaking of the shields, did Ogochukwu recognize the diorama or the designs on the shields
Ogochukwu's AC is currently 21 thanks to Shield
Hypothetical Attack of Opportunity Rolls:
Thanks to Combat reflexes Ogochukwu gets 3 per round. So here are some rolls if you need them for either their opening movements or their movements in this block

Living statues? A very interesting trap for grave robbers. While moving further into the room is probably not the most tactically sound option, that was what his companions had committed to, so Seeker Oread follows them to allow Azwynn space to engage as well. If these were indeed statues, they would likely be resistant to damage, so Seeker adopts a combat style that trades accuracy for power.
5-foot step East. Attack the statue to the southeast.
@Ogochukwu - The creatures are warrior dolls, a type of animated object, they have hardness but they are vulnerable to fire. My apologies I'd not realised you were in the room.
Ogochukwu manages to destroy two of the creatures as they move.
Okaris you miss the doll as it moves toward you, Seeker the creatures manage to evade your blows.

thanks GM. No problem. As a player I tend to switch between theater of the mind out of combat and map/grid in combat. One of the disadvantages is the potential for misplacement.
did the third AoO not trigger, not hit their AC, or just not do enough damage?
"These things are dolls, animated by some kind of magic. They do not like fire, and their nature makes it difficult for our weapons to harm them."
"That is an unfortunate weakness." The nomad weaves between his allies until he stands next to Okaris. Uttering a phrase of power, a hip-high sheet of flame pours from his hand and scourges all the enemies standing along the southern wall.

Azwynn retrieves a vial of alchemist's fire from her backpack.
I don't remember how much of an action it is to get something out of a backpack. She doesn't have a Handy Haversack so I know it's not a move action, which makes me think getting the item is a standard action. Readying a splash weapon is a full-round action, so unless you tell me otherwise, she'll ready it next round.
With the combination of Kidhir's spell and Ogochukwu and Okaris' blows the final doll is destroyed.
Looking around the room you can see that most of the arms and armour are mundane, however the khopesh and spear are masterwork. The composite shortbow is serviceable but its string has deteriorated. The scarab shaped steel shield is a magic scarab shield.
Each of the chests have been sealed with wax. They each contain 100gp and 42sp, together with several scroll tubes holding papyrus ledgers, speeches and private correspondence. To on Osirionologist they might be worth maybe 250gp.
The clay urn contains nard, an expensive oily perfume worth 75gp

A massive mirror stretches across the southern wall of this chamber, flanked by two statues. The statue to the east depicts a tall, gaunt woman in a flowing hooded gown, holding an hourglass. The figure to the west is that of a jackal-headed man carrying a sceptre or staff in his hand. Stone double doors, standing slightly ajar lead to the east and west. Torch holders sculpted in the shape of bird skulls are built in each corner, and a thin layer of dust covers every surface.

Ogochukwu takes a particular interest in the weapons and the shield. Picking them up, hefting them, swinging or stabbing with them, and marveling that they are still in usable condition.
he has no use for them, he is just into old things, especially weapons
"What stories do these weapons hold, I wonder?" He eventually sets them down and moves on to the next room.

The letters and ledgers are a fine discovery. Seeker recalls a kingdom that fell some sixteen-hundred years ago. Many theories were put forth as to why exactly it fell, until a single correspondence between a king and his son was found, confirming that famine was ultimately responsible. It remained to be seen if any great revelations were contained in anything they had found so far, but this was proving to be a scholastically worthwhile endeavor, and they have barely scratched the surface.

Azwynn kneels down to study the tracks and see if she recognizes what made them, then gives a grunt of satisfaction when they do seem familiar.
She also picks up the composite shortbow and studies it. After her experience of nearly being poisoned, she doesn’t want to take any chances. She looks for anything that might harm her or anything else of interest.

Azwynn says, Large beetle o' some kind made t' tracks.
She then points to the mirror and asks the group, Kin o' ye be tellin' us anyt'ing 'bout a possible trap on t'at mirror? It don't seem like any kind o' reg'lar trap ta me, so mebbe jes' study it first afore disarmin'.

"I see myself and Akhentepi in the mirror" Cymric says after checking it out. He then begins to make funny faces at it to see if the stern visage of himself or Akhentepi changes.
