Giovanni is satisfied with what they've uncovered here. He leads the group back north to the unexplored corridor.
The room before you is wide and high-ceiling-ed. Only those with darkvision can see to the corners. Statues of men with hyena heads block clear sight to the passage leading north from this room.
As your lights shake through the darkness, the statues slowly turn their heads to regard you.

"Heads up - we got live ones!" Luli calls. "Well, not live live. More like moving statues." He claps his hands together in prayer. "Spirits of life, give us strength in this lifeless place!" A burst of golden particles covers the Pathfinders, filling them with hope and bravery.
Casting bless. How might we identify these things?

Shatter Weapons (Ex) Whenever a character strikes a caryatid column with a weapon (magical or nonmagical), the weapon takes 3d6 points of damage. Apply the weapon’s hardness normally. Weapons that take any amount of damage in excess of their hardness gain the broken quality.
However, brown is in rough shape and does not seem to have the Shatter Weapons ability.

Elrus likewise attacks it with his rapier.

Giovanni tries a flurry with his blade to distract the statue in front of him.
This statue seems in better condition than the other and Lucky's bolt smashes to pieces as it strikes, barely damaging it. Teks does more damage but the construct is still standing.
Meanwhile, Siegfried gracefully leaps down and gets around the lumbering foe.

Elrus resumes the assault, hoping to finish Tek’s work.

Giovanni takes a slash across the arm, Gah! Well that was rude. He tries to return the favor.

"These things down here really don't seem to like you, Giovanni!" Luli observes with a laugh as he reloads his crossbow. "Did you say something mean about them?"

"Fear not comrades! Here comes the day-saving from Siegfried!" Siegfried rushes up behind the statue and tries to stab it with one of his many daggers!
I can't quite tell which statue is still up, so please move my token if necessary.

I’d best not break my sword.. We have ample ranged if we can hold them back.

Now, you normally think Giovanni a bookish type with his tidy coat and glasses. Under duress you notice his brutal tactics. This comes only from a tough upbringing. Life in the streets meant doing whatever it takes.

So it would actually gain the broken quality, but it can be mended since Lucky Luli has mending prepared.
"Moving statues. That just ain't right."
The dwarf clearly doesn't appreciate moving rocks, rocks are meant to be still until you hit them, not start hitting you out of nowhere.
"You folk should heal up, no telling what this place will throw at us next."

Giovanni kicks bits of the statue in front of him and slams his blade into his sheath. No telling, exactly, Teks. He takes a wand of healing out and asks for some assistance patching himself up.
After defeating the guardians, you explore the next room.
The walls, ceiling, and floor of this room are covered in elaborate patterns of countless tiny tiles.
The tiles also form three images on the west wall: one depicts a woman in a cloak hovering above a pile of skulls; another depicts the same woman kneeling before a massive fiend; the third shows her in the company of a godlike figure standing before a massive pyramid.
Seemingly random and heavily damaged objects lie about the room.
DC 15 Knowledge (religion):
You recognize the fiend as Ahriman, Lord of All Divs.
DC 15 Appraise or Knowledge (history):
You determine that the broken items date to the reign of the Pharaoh of Forgotten Plagues.
and the last room.
A well-preserved wooden chest sits atop a platform against the south wall of this room. A series of arcane glyphs burnt into the top of the chest forms a spiral. Iron bindings reinforce the chest, and it has no apparent lock or key. A series of heavy latches keep the lid tightly shut.
