This is some nice stuff. Probably will need to share this out before we start looking in the... Mary drops the chain she was looking at to the floor. We go some unfinished beesnius coming in from.... that way.
They are both +2 mithral chainmail.
Kelpy and Fang slowly approach the bee sitting motionless in the middle of the room, staying on guard. When you approach it the bee looks mechanical. You have seen something similar before in your main camp. This is a clockwork spy but this one is made to look like a bee. Kelpy notices that the golden key he found in the cabinet seems like it would fit in the clockwork spy bee. You decide to come back to that at the moment and check out the other rooms.
You all approach the door on the top left and the closer you get you hear the buzzing louder and louder. You all open the door slowly and Eustice from the angle he is at can see that this hive has not been tended to by any one in a very long time. You see a large number of bees but they are not attacking you since you are just standing there. From looking inside, Eustice and Mary can tell that you could get a number of pounds of honey from just this room and that it looks to be of very fine quality. You can look at the honey from right at the door and know that you could get 100gp per pound.
Fang shrugs. ”Looks tasty, but needs more meaty bit. Maybe we comes back later, eh?”
You can easily close the door back and you are confident that no one will bother this until you come back to get the honey at a later date.
You are able to go back to the Clockwork Spy Bee and see that the golden key would fit. You put the key in and wind it up. After it is wound up, you remove the key and the bee lifts off the ground and starts to fly off.
You follow the bee and it leads you to the temple ground and keeps moving in.
As Fang looks up at the rubble and then down to his fish tail, he sighs, but then lights up as if an idea occurred to him just then. With a look of peace on his face, he closes his eyes and starts to float up off the ground. His eyes pop open and the all too familiar toothy grin spreads across his lips.
"Well, I dunno why I di'nt think a dis sooner."
Mary Kay wanders over to the enlarged head. Glancing at fang, Someday soon I will join you up there.
Floating off the ground, Fang follows towards where Mary was heading, then a bit further and perches on the stone face.
Eustice follows Kelpy in and eyes the crumbled statue.
You all take a move in and Fang flies up on top of the head of the statue. Once you come around the corner you notice 3 creatures in waiting and Fang notices a 4th that he can see but the creature is obscured from the rest because of the height of the head.
These guys seem to have Polearms and are ready to fight.

”Gots plenty ta fight. So, let’s have a little boost.”
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
Kelpy will delay and wait for them to come closer.
Mary Kay looks around at the creatures. Everybody clear?! With a flick of the wrist at glowing ball explodes with a dull roar in the far side of the room.
Atlan will charge red and strike him
Fang focuses and shoots out a burst of electricity and everyone feels the familiar static around their body. Kelpy is waiting carefully for the enemies approach. Mary shoots a fireball at Red and Yellow and they take the full force of the blast. Atlan sees an opening and charges at Red finishing it off.
Green will move up to the bottom of the head and with his long reach will strike out at Fang.
Yellow will take a 5ft step back and strike out at Atlan.

With it appearing that Atlan has the west flank covered with timely fire support from Mary, Kelpy heads to the east. With his hasted movement, and being small, he can easily cover the ground between himself and Blue, squeezing between the north wall and statue pieces if need be.
He then attacks Blue with his sword he drew along the way.
Eustice will put his hand on Kelpy's shoulder and cast Shield of Faith. Kelpy with the enhancement from Eustice moves forward with confidence but is unable to make contact with the creature.
Blue will move back and then attack at Kelpy.

”Bad call there bud.”
Fang flicks his arm dramatically to one side, a tendril of swirling air forming, and then he swing the weapon with vigor at the offending creature that dared to strike him.
Fang then takes a step closer to green’s square.
Fang focuses his energy to create whip of compressed air then proceeds to obliterate Green.

Kelpy moves and strikes again.
"Now, now Kelpy, stop toying with him." Eustice says, then moves for a better view.

Atlan moves up quickly as he hurdles over the broken ledge. Using all of the momentum he lands 1 punch and drops Blue.
After Blue drops you all see more of these things coming from the south but they are carrying Javelins and not polearms.
Black, Teal, Purple, and Orange will double move up closer.

Fang moves a bit and shoots out a bolt of a electricity with all he has leaving him breathing heavy. You all see a bright flash that makes you temporarily close your eyes. When you open your eyes all that is left in the space of Teal is a pile of dust and 3 Javelins.
Pink will double move up and stand in the space, making a cloud of dust brush up that was his ally.

Mary Kay heads to get a better look. Seeing the large group, she turns in the opposite direction. After setting another blast a flame in the group she exclaims,
"I just softened some up, but there is at least 3 more. Can someone come out here? Please."
Mary holds up a finger and a small red bead flies towards the creatures and explodes. 2 of the creatures dodge some and the other 2 take the full hit.
