Brother Rabbit looks back. "Should we power through? The door doesn't have any traps that I can see."
@Dora: Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn. You still have a move and standard action on this turn.
Kel finds that the magic trap is connected to the four mosaics. Disabling any of the four mosaics should disable the whole trap. standard action remains for Kel
Round 3 - bold may go

The cleric stands aside, ready to heal, until the all-clear is given.
This is just ridiculous guys... I'm gonna give this one to Thrag though. LOL
Thrag utterly destroys the foundation at the bottom of the pool. The mosaic is disrupted beyond any possible means of repair. The magic stops flashing.
North and south are fake doors. Continuing east, assuming Mal can auto-succeed Perception DC 35, Mal finds a secret door. Continue Y/N?
No trap. Question: does Kel have Trapfinding (like the rogue's Trapfinding), and if so from which class? Thanks
Thrag opens the door and a long hallway stretches before you. After two turns to the right, you see a door at the end of the long hallway directly in front of you (west) and another door on your left (south).
This massive domed chamber, peaking at seventy feet above, is
painted with knotted geometric designs in muted reds and golds.
Another Medusa Triumphant statue dominates the alcove at the
room’s western end. An inscription decorates the statue’s base.
The inscription at the statue’s base reads as follows:
“Come out further on our Ledge
Sheathe in me the Family’s Edge
Take the Soot inside my Core
Scatter Ash past Stony Door
Walk into the Scarlet Light
Witness when the Dead had Sight
Two Sad Tales are both revealed
Truth and Fraud, No more concealed
Newfound Wisdom tastes of Bile
And never shall We reconcile”
Further investigation of the iron medusa statue reveals
a narrow slot in its chest—the slot is wide enough to
accept a longsword blade.

"I guess we move on to the next room then... interesting inscription. I hope for our 'employer's' needs it matters not who inserts the sword in the stone."
The heroes backtrack to the other room to the west.
This chamber’s twenty-foot-high ceiling is held aloft by pristine
granite pillars. The walls are covered in murals depicting battle
scenes, while a twelve-foot-tall aquarium occupies the west end
of the room, framed in iron and with thick glass. Four elaborate
chairs of carved mahogany sit before this water-filled tank. A great
Qadiran rug of intricate geometric designs covers the floor.
Front and center in the aquarium floats a bloated,
unusually preserved corpse, its arms and legs shackled
with chains attached to floor and ceiling, clad in an
extraordinarily wrought breastplate emblazoned with the
cross-eyed medusa, and bobbing in the green-hued water.
The pommel of a sword protrudes from the body’s belly.
The floating cadaver’s dead eyes are wide open, and its
black hair wafts back and forth, as though cast about by a
gentle breeze.
A bronze plaque, green with age, mounted
on the glass above, reads: “‘Then Let Them Drink’—
Bartolomae Adella, 4496–4542.” A gilded bathtub stands
to the corpse’s left, its legs great lion’s paws. Thick seaweed
grows at the back of the tank, obscuring whatever might lie
at the rear of this grisly aquatic display.
The only ingress into the tank is a 3-foot-diameter iron entry
hatch atop its northeast corner. Turning the locking wheel
to open the hatch, hinged on its west side, requires a DC
18 Strength check.

Kel watches with some curiosity and trepidation... "Who's thinking of going in to get the sword? I'd like to cast air bubble on the party before you go in, and heroism on the swimmer."
air bubble on the whole party because, hey, why waste it?, and what if any of us need to go in to rescue him?

"I can do it," Brother Rabbit states while stretching. "I'm not the strongest swimmer, but if it turns out to be something dangerous, I should be able to poof out. Should, anyway."
The Captain begins climbing to reach the entry hatch, and checks the water. If it doesn't seem fishy, then he'll dive in.

Brother Rabbit would appreciate these jokes if he could hear them. Since he can't, he swims towards the bloated corpse in order to pull the sword out and any other loot he can get his hands on.
As Captain Brother Rabbit pulls the sword out, one of the room's pillars melt into three rancid-smelling mounds of animated ooze in the hideous shape of half-melted men.
Two head towards the party while one plops down into the aquarium, heading for Captain Brother Rabbit.
Mal asks Torag to steel his fists and moves up and strikes the nearest one once.

Note about Crane Style/Snake Style and out of turn reactions:
Mal Fought defensively this turn, so his AC vs. melee attacks is 4 higher due to crane wing, unless an attack is within 4 of the improved AC. If this is the case, per Crane Riposte, this provokes an attack of opportunity, and his AC is no longer improved against melee attacks. Furthermore, if an attack is attempted against him and it misses, it provokes an attack of opportunity per Snake Fang. If this attack hits, Mal can attempt an additional unarmed strike as an immediate action. Mal commonly, but not always, takes this immediate action attack. Usually the reason he wouldn't take the immediate action is that he intends to use his swift next round to either fervor cast a spell, activate bane, or extend his reach. Any relevant AoO's are rolled below.
Mal when you roll damage, it would help a lot if you would just list the entire litany of what types of damage your fist counts as. Thanks. This is probably the last fight, and I'm NOT opening your alias to go on a deep dive again. I value my sanity, or what's left of it, too much at this time... :) oh, and I'm no longer opening that spoiler of yours, it hurts my head. If it isn't happening on your turn, it's 'dead, Jim!' :)
A film of slimy water and weak acid spreads out over the floor of the entire room as the three pillars collapse. The slimy creatures surround Mal and attack. One of them appears to melt into the one inch-thick water on the floor just to pop right back out next to Mal!
All of them miss; I'm going to call this combat as there is no point with Mal's AC of 40 and Brother's AC of 44
The heroes swiftly defeat the two creatures.
Treasure: A sealed, water-tight chest of iron sits at the
back of the aquarium, hidden by seaweed. The chest is
locked (hardness 10, hp 25, Break DC 23, Disable Device
DC 28) and contains the following: eight pieces of jewelry
(6,500 gp each); a small locked jewelry box (hardness 5, hp
20, Break DC 18, Disable Device DC 22) containing two
dozen black pearls (500 gp each) and a 4th-level pearl of
power, indistinguishable from the others until detect magic
is employed; a staff of souls*; four candles of invocation (LN); a
manual of gainful exercise +3 and six other tomes on Taldan
history worth 400 gp apiece; and a lord’s banner (terror)*
bearing the cross-eyed medusa. Items marked with an
asterisk (*) are from the Advanced Player’s Guide.
The sword in Bartolomae’s corpse is Infensus Mucro, the
ancestral blade the PCs have been tasked with retrieving.
The sword is currently dormant. The pommel of the blade
bears its name, and the blade itself is engraved along its
length with a phrase in Azlanti: “This Is Our Answer.” The
armor on Bartolomae’s corpse functions as a +1 breastplate,
but otherwise acts as armor of rage.
Thrag inserts Infensus Mucro into the statue’s
chest. It slides in easily, a sharp click reverberating about
the chamber as it locks in place. At this time, the stone
block at the chamber’s eastern end descends to reveal an
alcove wherein stands a second medusa statue. An instant
later, the first medusa statue animates and attacks.

Kel casts detect magic on the sword to make sure it didn't suffer from any damage... seems surprised that the soot and ash detect as magic as well. Well, this is odd... the ash detects as magic... "
He will try to spellcraft it to determine what its properties might be.

Thrag scoops up the sword and slides it into his sheath. After pausing for a moment the sword and hammer swap places. Grabbing a handful of the magical ash he moves to the newly revealed statue and tosses the ash at it.
As soon as Thrag grabs the sword, a heavy fatigue settles over him...
Thrag: Take 3 negative levels
When Thrag throws ash near the new statue, the air in that area shimmers and glows with a crimson radiance. A heartbeat later, blasts of light radiate outward, striking all present...

DC 20 Knowledge (history):
Judging by the attire and furnishings of the chamber, this vision is of a time during Taldor’s campaign against Qadira.
DC 30 Knowledge (nobility):
The general is the head of the Daellum line, Bartolomae Adella.
