Buzz immediately regrets not bringing Loudmouth indoors, except that bird would give them away immediately and destroy the entire place in his droppings. He places a bomb in an underhand granny throw and lobs them at the Harpy just above him.

Beggar So throws two shurikens, but they are easily dodged by the the harpies. Grimmylow's god isn't super mad at the harpies yet, but Buzz's bomb hits.
Marvin dives down and attacks Kzem, then flies backwards and up out of melee reach (Fly 3D, Strike, Fly 3U-6E); Diana does a similar swipe (Fly 6D, Strike, Fly 3U-3NE), cackling with glee.

Grimmylow tries to explain to Marvin why he's lucky that Sarenrae has forgiven him and how guilty he should be.
Then he raises a of Sarenrae's protection around him uncase one of the swoopers decides to swoop him.

Buzz follows the pair as he continues to granny lob bombs up at the red eyed Marvin. "Wicked little beasties!"

Marvin has just a few hit points left, but that's all he needs to get by. He gets it on, dive-bombing Kzem.
Without (non-sexual) healing, there's little more to do. He weakly scratches at Kzem and then falls at Kzem's feet.

The splash on Buzz's first bomb and Kzem's dagger are just enough to put the second harpy to rest.
The heroes carry off everything that isn't bolted down searches the room and find a basalt mask of a demon’s face incorporated into one of the sculptures. This item is carved to look like the stern face of a stoic warrior and is worth 20 gp. In addition, the harpies have 60 gp and 81 sp stashed in their nests.
The heroes peek through the door, and it opens into a temple, with a raised dais that occupies the eastern end of this room, on which a rough-hewn altar of stone appears stained with blood and other liquids. A pair of wooden folding screens stand to either side of the altar, each marked with a painted symbol of a three-eyed jackal.
A bugbear and an orge stand uncomfortably close to the door - Grimmylow signals to go around to the other side, and the group agrees.
The heroes circle around, and they encounter a room filled with Random pieces of furniture, crates, and other detritus that are covered with sheets clutter this chamber. A narrow, albeit clear path runs from the northern door to the eastern door. Particles of dust hang in the air.
Thorn immediately sees that one of the unopened crate of building materials just off the path through the junk is actually a mimic.

Thorn looks around the room
"I remembered that joke that I heard the other day in the kitchen. The bartender asks adventurers why do they go into an Inn with their weapons drawn. And they respond that they are afraid of mimics, then bartender laughed, adventurers laughed, table laughed."
Something grabs his attention and he reaches for his gun saying "Mimic!"

"Biglock? Who's Biglock? Oh, it's probably another mimic, right? Huh? You think all mimics look the same? You can't tell them apart? We're all the same to you? Let me guess, you have a mimic friend, so you're allowed to say that? You're all a bunch of speciesists!"

Buzz puts two stingers into the mimic.
Suddenly, a voice rings out behind Buzz.
"They're hanging on to outdated, imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society!"
A statue in the northeast corner of the room springs to life. Walking up to Buzz, he bites at the sprite.
Satisfied that he's subverted the dominant paradigm, he flies back into the NE corner.
The mimic shuffles forward and reaches a tongue out at Beggar So.

"UUGGH! My best robes! Keep your tongue to yourself!"
"No, no! We're not members of the military industrial complex! We're simple explorers who are reclaiming this establishment for the People!" Grimmylow counters.
"We'd much rather commune with the local inhabitants but our overtures of peace are continually being met by the aggressions of individuals who have lost their individuality in the false truth of haves and have nots."
He throws some magic into his statements to add to the mental dissonance he's creating in the mimic.
He also provides Kzem some

"Ouch that hurt!" Buzz flits away back deeper into the hallway as rushes to safety. He manages to toss a couple more stingers back at the mimic as he gets into position. "Watch out for that statue. It called me a dog."

The orc takes a moment to scrape the goo off of him, before turning and pulling a dagger, flinging it up at the circling gargoyle- though there is little that he can determine from his initial assessment of the creature.

Beggar So draws a shuriken, but it may be unlikely to do anything devastating.
