Tere skirts around the edge of the melee, then closes and strikes at the red taer.

Two of the taers are wounded, so I will assume the closest, i.e. blue?

Seeing that they had captured one of the foes, Two Blades stepped over to assist Mere with the one he was dealing with. this time with the points of his weapons.

Tere tumbles around the taer, acrobatically attempting to avoid its attacks before slugging it with his sap.

Each taer sported a shotspear on their person. One wears an impressive amulet. The amulet is a golden disk on a chain. It bears the image of a powerful, simian creature.
If you cast detect magic:
The amulet emits a moderate aura.

This is an amulet of health.
The amulet grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to Constitution of +2.
When the party enters the cairn, they find at its base a small sepulture sealed beneath a 3-foot layer of blue ice. Beneath the ice seal rests a large flat stone engraved with a spiraling ring of primal looking pictographs.
The ice seal can be chipped away (attack/damage rolls) or broken (Strength check). I will also entertain creative, alternative solutions.

With the rapier in one hand and the light mace in the other, he focused his mind, Taking a deep breath he grew to the size of a hill giant and started to poke the ice with the rapier as an ice pick and the mace as a hammer to quickly break it apart.

Perception (DC 10):
After the commencement of the strikes against the ice by Two Blades in the Shadows, you sense secondary tremors reverberating from within the earth.
Anyone aware of the tremors may attempt one of the following knowledge skill checks: Knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, or nature).
If you meet of exceed a DC 24 on the Knowledge check, you may open the spoiler below:
Spoiler:
The tremors are consistent with those made by a massive, burrowing creature. The creature is some distance away, but the tremors increase in sound suggesting that it is approaching.

Silgil uses his pearl of power to regain the magic missile spell and then uses prestidigitation to move the ice out of the way as it is broken up.
With the chunks of ice magically removed by Silgil, the party finds a large, flat stone engraved at rest within the ground beneath the cairn. It bears a spiraling ring of primal looking pictographs.
The creature is advance remorhaz. Although remorhazes have much in common superficially with lesser vermin, the beasts are surprisingly intelligent. The beasts use their heat to melt tunnels through ice, tunnels whose smooth glassy sides swiftly refreeze in their wake to create uncommonly stable and numerous mazes.
In a world of ice and snow, the remorhaz is particularly feared for the terrible fires that burn within its body. These internal fires cause the armor plates along its back to glow red-hot when the creature is particularly angry, excited, or in pain. Creatures adapted to arctic regions are often particularly vulnerable to fire, making the remorhaz’s primary defense an incredibly potent one and securing its role as a dangerous predator in such frozen reaches.
Heat (Su): An enraged remorhaz generates heat so intense that anything touching its body takes 8d6 points of fire damage. Creatures striking a remorhaz with natural attacks or unarmed strikes are subject to this damage, but creatures striking with melee weapons are not. The heat can melt or burn weapons; any weapon that strikes a remorhaz is allowed a DC 19 Fortitude save to avoid taking damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Are there any shadowed areas on the perimeter of the ice?

Tere can use Stealth even when observed if he's within ten feet of an area of dim light.

I am fine with treating the "shaded" areas on the map as dimlight.
Also, the fog from earlier remains present.
Clear visibility is 60 feet, with an additional 30 feet counting as 50% concealment and anything after that as 100% concealment.
To keep us moving and as no actions taken in 48+ hours (and as I don't think it will really impact that battle), I will have Merisiel and Tere delay during Round One.

Silgil slips back again and shout out from his 'safe' place on an ice jut, "These things, though they live in ice, are very, very hot. Avoid contact and make sure your weapons do not become too damaged to function."
Not knowing if it will work or not, but knowing for dang sur a pit spell is not going to do any good, he sends acid arrows at the thing. Nice thing about acid arrows and large creatures is that they are easy to hit. (and no ST or spell resistance).
to hit, ranged touch:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 damage, acid:2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6; will persist and do 2d4 for 2 more rounds.
