The air in this chamber is deathly cold, turning breath into visible plumes of steam. In one corner of the chamber stands a tall statue made of black ice, fashioned to look like a skeleton wearing heavy robes, wielding a scythe. The rest of the chamber contains a number of niches, each one of which contains a bier made of the same black ice. Ancient, ice covered bodies rest on some of these short platforms.
The ground here is slick, so difficult terrain. Running or charging require acrobatics checks, and things that would normally require acrobatics are more difficult than usual. You can tell that certain actions may mean you take cold damage, but aren't sure what they are.
You may each take one round of actions. The room is revealed on the map.

The paladin takes a cautious step into the room. "Careful! It's slippery." Brandishing his glaive protectively, he takes a position to block anything that may come from the far side of the room.
Double Move. Well, more like 1.5 move. but still, you get the idea.

Riltar loads his crossbow, then, holding it in one hand (and struggling a bit) he pulls a wand with the other hand, trying to look badass, and takes his position next to Korum.

Candledark creeps forward, just enough to get a good look into this fascinating new room for now.
I'm going to, as a rule, move around Stealthily out of combat (and may try to remain in it in combat for as long as possible without trying too hard to do so, which, as a Psychic, is longer than one may think), so please let me know when/if the last such roll I made needs to be replaced by a new one.
He concentrates, trying to will the icy vault into revealing its secrets....
detect magic/Spellcraft:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
knowledge checks are welcome before your turn. I believe that since speaking is 'not an action' you are even able to share your results before the combat begins.
The skeletons finish getting up and move towards you to attack.
These are undead skeletons, so have the usual damage reduction, gotten around with bludgeoning weapons. They are immune to cold but vulnerable to fire. They are so cold that standing near them can hurt you.
cold damage to Vulen:1d6 ⇒ 6 cold damage to Korum:1d6 ⇒ 2
Korum's blade does a bit less damage than expected, but the skeleton still almost falls over. Riltar's fire then finishes it off. It explodes in fiery shards, damaging Riltar, Fluffy, and Vulen by 1d6 ⇒ 3.
status:
blue -7 HP

(please be keeping track of your HP, team. It should be clearly visible in your character header, not in a spoiler.)

Knowledge (Religion), for what it's worth:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Candledark creeps forward and concentrates - suddenly, a heavy, dirty icicle snaps off the ceiling and falls in an obviously unnatural L-shaped arc, right into one of the remaining skeletons!

Sorry I missed that Redelia; if it's not too cold in the room, Riltar will take 20 on Perception for 25 (including guidance); there must be some loot stashed somewhere! :) He will also sweep the room with detect magic just to be on the safe side...
taking ten would indeed mean taking several rounds of damage from the cold in some areas of the room. Do you still want to do that, or roll? And what about everyone else? This is your last chance to roll perception for this room.

@GM: if there's damage or saves involved, Riltar does 'not' take 20, and will instead do only one round of checking with Detect Magic and with the following perception roll: Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
