Fascinated
Source Player Core pg. 443 2.0
You're compelled to focus your attention on something, distracting you from whatever else is going on around you. You take a –2 status penalty to Perception and skill checks, and you can't use concentrate actions unless they (or their intended consequences) are related to the subject of your fascination, as determined by the GM. For instance, you might be able to Seek and Recall Knowledge about the subject, but you likely couldn't cast a spell targeting a different creature. This condition ends if a creature uses hostile actions against you or any of your allies.
With Serilye attacking their companion, the faszination of the other two giants is broken. The first one gets up and moves towards the evil singing creature.

Heshan winces as their plan to keep the giants distracted goes up in smoke. "Maybe we don't attack the ones not inclined to try and kill us next time."
Subtlety was out the windows so it was time for some flashiness instead. Luckily, he was adept at both With an outstretched hand, he directed three electrified bolts at the approaching giant.
I will admit that I had not anticipated Serilye deciding that fascination was not the strategy of choice... How many more rounds before assorted wind-walkers can act?

For you and anyone on your line of initiative still one round of being cloudy.
the firefighting is on the way, but the fire in those giants is strong. The third giant closes in and the on standing on Serilye's toes swings his sword repeatedly at her.
Khedron picks a spot and stamps at the ground with solidifying hooves, preparing to charge. Omari drifts up onto the staircase, taking an overwatch position where he will have some cover from the stair-rail...

Finally free of the spell bonds, Ohrmizd runs towards the giant with a jump by the end unleashing his divine power "Ah! We can cross fire at last!"

Ohrmizd cuts down the giant. Khedron finds only a corpse to attack. Omari peppers the other giant assaulting Serilye and together with the wounds Serilye adds herself, that giant goes down too.

"Looks like the element of surprise is passed." Fully back to himself, he sought to help take care of the remaining fire giant, casting a spell that would scramble it's mind.
]Confusion, DC 22 Will Save to negate. I should be able to cast the burst to focus on just that remaining giant.

"Good chills Hazreem, that giant got a bit frost in place" Ohrmizd smiles and unrolls his flying carpet on the floor, taking position over it "Let's hurry up before anyone takes notice. The secret passage was behind the throne. Let's see if it is still there"
The Keleshite flies over the pit and stops by the throne to check it for any possible trap that has been set there, and opening it otherwise.
Perception:1d20 + 21 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 21 + 2 + 2 = 32
A gargantuan but shallow pit filled with broken, rotting carcasses crawling with larvae and vermin dominates this area, leaving a ten-foot-wide walkway to the east and west. The bodies in the pit, mostly the remains of goats, cattle, and other animals, turn the pit into a roughly bowl-shaped depression, ten feet deep in the middle and nearly even with the floor along the edge. A twenty-foot-wide gap in the pit wall to the east opens into a carcass-lined tunnel. To the south, the ledge widens into a balcony overlooking the pit, while to the north the room curves inward around a concave ledge that supports a gigantic framework of bone and sinew in the shape of a nine-legged spider with a gaping maw. Much of its surface is stretched with the dried skins of dozens of different creatures. Extending from the spider’s maw is a stone walkway that connects to the top of a twenty-foot-wide pillar rising from the center of the pit. Atop this pillar sits a tremendous and gory throne made of shattered bodies, stitched together with rope and lengths of bent metal to form a throne of bones and maggot-writhing carrion.
As Ohrmizd operates the hidden mechanism, the throne slides back on operating the trigger and reveals the stairs leading down into the 'garden' with the stone speakers.

Ohrmizd grins as the throne retreats "Looks like the path is open. Either fortune favors us, or Jhavhul's allies are too arrogant to expect guests"
He pauses, looking down the dark staircase that spirals down "Stay sharp. I remember we had some issues with that fountain in the garden below. Let's be cautious this time"
With a nod to the others, he descends towards the garden, paying attention to any trap Jhavhul might have left back.
Perception:1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 21 + 2 = 24
"Ohrmizd, no farther than the garden. Enemies on both sides of us is a bad thing, so once we have checked the garden, we should come back and clear the upper complex."
To be clear, Omari is not sending Ohrmizd off on his own; that's splitting the party and potentially a bad thing. I do, however, want to clear the upper complex before we get into the lower section (what is presumably Javhul's lair). So, Omari and Khedron are following Ohrmizd down the stairs. I would encourage everyone else to come with us.
