"Huh, just too far away. Coming through, excuse me." Eliadyr will mutter as he moves through the group to get in range.
"Let's see if this slows them down a bit" and he lines up the leading undead creature while carefully forming arcane words. As the arrow reaches its mark the ground around the monster erupts in spikes, impaling all four of the enemies and making the ground difficult to cross.

Cal follows on Crunch's heels as the Champion wades into the fight. He gets close, takes a little juking step in case these beasties are faster than they look, and slices at the one that turned its attention to Crunch.
"You know, boyo," Cal calls back to Isaku, "I seem to recall cold iron workin' on fey. I've fought enough of 'em* - and got a bit of their blood meself - to know. Are you sure about that workin' on these 'ere beasties?"

Cal:
These creature are cyclopean bodaks, a variant of the bodak, a living, sentient humanoid exposed to an extreme expression of supernatural evil. The experience irrevocably damns the victim, crushing their mind and ripping out their soul in an appalling, unholy transformation that results in a creature that's anathema to life — the bodak.
These creatures are undead (negative healing) and are vulnerable to sunlight. Its lowest save is Fortitude (+12, +14 for the elites). It has a special ability called Flash of Insight, with which the bodak peers into an occluded spectrum of all possible futures. It gets a success (but not a critical success) on the roll instead of rolling. The team is about to find this out as the bodaks make their first attacks, but the valuable part of this information is that this ia a once per day ability, so you'll never see it again.
Herr Doktor lumbers up to the crowd, and begins swinging. The second Strike hits.

Crunch notices the actions of the creatures, but is not overly affected by them. Cracking their neck, they take two mighty swings at the one flanked by the Doktor.
Eliadyr resists the worst effects of the gaze, but feels drained. He shoots Red, striking its chest but not critically. Red should have been marked at <50% at -90 hp, FYI.
Cal feels his soul being sucked into the creature's gaze and feels both drained and doomed. I guess somehow my party avoided being Doomed when I played this - I had no idea that this scenario had Doomed potential when I made the remark about never having seen Doomed!
Cal puts himself together and manages to strike Blue.
Herr Doktor also feels drained and doomed. He strikes at Yellow, hitting it just as Crunch draws its attention. Hit due to flanking.

Crunch completely resists the gaze. Perhaps it is their visor, or perhaps they are just used to uncomfortable stares. Either way, they feel unaffected.
With two mighty swings, they smash Yellow to bits.
Red retaliates, using its insight to bypass Crunch's defenses. Automatic success on its first attack.
Blue circles around to the other side of Cal. They will not be able to flank due to Deny Advantage, but they don't know that. First hit will auto-hit due to flash of insight.

"I am a Dragon!" Rhaegal roars as he begins to transform. The little kobold gets a lot beefier, but he must be concentrating too much on that because his wings never fill out.

I will waive hit point healing, but not the conditions. I'm going to pause here to see if you want to spend time / use items to remove those conditions.
I'm also going to pause so you can discuss how you want to get to the access point. The access is 30' off of the ground, so to reach it, there will be a single DC 22 Athletics check to reach the light purple area, a single DC 25 Athletics check to reach the dark purple area, and a single DC 30 Athletics check to reach the door. You are welcome to climb straight for the area, but you'll need to make the DC 30 Athletics check all the way up (normal Climb rules). Flying is an option, but carrying someone while flying will face rules about Bulk of Creatures. I also want to remind y'all about Follow the Expert, which received a nice update in the Remaster.
Descriptions:
Foot (light purple, DC 22 Athletics check): The Colossus’s right foot remains here, largely intact despite the earthquake and centuries of neglect.
Shin (dark purple, DC 25 Athletics check): Most of the Colossus’s shin toppled here, propped up on the eastern side by additional rubble.
Thigh (DC 30 Athletics check): When the right leg crumbled, the Colossus’s thigh fell straight down and settled here, ripping a hole in the lower abdomen that provides access to the statue’s interior above the collapsed entryway in the left knee.

"Ich bin ein bißchen off." says the Doktor, "und ich kann do nothing about it. Aber..."
He shows the hole in the statue and explains the party that he can get everyone up there with a little bit of coordination.
I have one last Versatile Vials and I can produce Spiderfoot Brew to get a 15ft. climb speed for a minute. With enough coordination, I think the Doktor can carry the party to the top (one round to get up, one round to get down, 5 characters to carry, considering the Doktor has 18 Strength and large size).

And you can get versatile vials back at the rate of 2 every 10 minutes IIRC.
But I'm constantly using 2 of them on you and I. So I don't get new ones unless I choose to take a break. Also, Crunch has both a climb speed and high strength, so the Doktor will not need to use his last Versatile Vial. Unless the GM says otherwise :)
One by one, Crunch shuttles the team to the entrance to the colossus.
The Colossus’s interior reveals the marvels of cyclops engineering. The interior of the Colossus centers on a structural support column, with ramps spiraling up the sides of the immense edifice. Crossbeams connect to the pillar from the base of the ramp, providing stability to the structure. Sections of rocks have collapsed throughout the hollow interior, blocking off the ramp in certain spots. Similar wreckage lines the bottom of the Colossus’s interior, with stone and metal fragments strewn about on the floor. A massive collapse from the right leg of the Colossus opens the interior to the outside world, while eighty feet up from damaged entry point is a set of stone doors at the top of the spiral ramp.
The ramp spirals up the perimeter, ascending roughly 10 feet for every 20 feet of lateral movement. I tried putting some colors on the map, but it was too visually distracting. You'll all about +30-35' off the ground, and the set of doors you need to reach is -80' off the ground. The ramp is uniform slope all the way around counterclockwise.
You've got a few options here. You can walk the ramp, figuring out how to delicately cross the rubble-y part when you get there. Alternatively, you can Balance to the center pole and Climb (presumably riding on Crunch). Alternatively, Crunch can scale the wall directly.
Oh, and I'm not sure if Herr Doktor would rather be Large or Medium.

Always preferring to do things the easier and smarter way, Cal is more than satisfied to ride on Crunch's shoulders as the goblin clambers his way across the rubble and up the walls. He waves to the friendly scaled bat as Rhaegal swoops by with encouragement.

Oh, and I'm not sure if Herr Doktor would rather be Large or Medium.
Small ;)
As long as we are climbing, Herr Doktor doesn't use his Mutagen so Crunch can lift him. Also, considering the tight spaces, he'll stay Small for a while.
While Crunch lifts him, Herr Doktor admires the goblin's musculature: "Du bist ein nice specimen, Crunch!"
