I would love to give you some of the cool backstory if you want. Muhlia has a lot of cool information, but 90% of players don't immediately recognize her? There are some Particularly weighted questions that have pretty cool answers! :D
Nodding to Bellum, Borsaget chatters after making a Spitting sound toward Thurl. "Bring in the Magrimites! It'll probably take a whole army, but with My Know-How, and Dwarven Craftsmanship, we can have this place rebuilt in no time! I mean, It won't be as good as the Dwarven Construction of Old, but not much is these days!"
Bellum detects the three other Runeplates, the backs etched with Demonic Sigils. Borsaget's mood visibly worsens upon finding the defaced plates, her brow furrowed. "Those'll probably buff out, right? Any of you folks got Make Whole or Whatnot? It'll never be good as new, But perhaps Good as Good will be enough."
Additionally, Bellum finds a Supple leather belt with images of Abyssal Minotaurs etched into the leather. This belt actually has a +6 bonus instead of the Standard +2!
"Bloody Hell! That One Eyed B@$+@*& looks worse now than he did Before!" Borsaget adds, peeking out of Bellum's Pack. "Bring me closer so I can get a GOOOOOOOOD look at this F$*@^$"
"That's What you get Buddy for crossing Dwarves! And uh... Pathfinders! Yeah!"
"Bah! Serves the B*+(# Right. She helped the Traitorous little rock get in this place. Shoulda known he weren't to be trusted."
Trying to pull her current Bearer Let's say Bellum? toward the section that Muhlia pointed at, she continues. "Touch that little brick right there, and the door should pop right open! Watch the Squeeze though, some of you Bigger Fellers might have a bit of trouble getting through."
Any Last minute Preparations, or away we go? I would say the Big Folks could probably squeeze in the Hallways, but getting by them would be really rough. Also, the Big Bad Fight is in the Room to the Top Left, so Line up in that hallway ahead of it!
Narrowing her Sockets, Borsaget glances around the room, before focusing on the top of the Tallest Column. "Torag's T@$)#! That pillars covered in Coin! At least these Scaly F*$K$ were good fer something!"
Atop the pillar, is a mountain of various coins and artistic gems totaling around 9500 gp, partially covering a velvet-lined oak case holding a dwarf sized wedding gown adorned with pearls and moonstones. Attached to a battered quarterstaff is a Void Pennant, waving in the balmy Volcanic Draft.
As Nikolai shows her the Obsidian Circle, Borsaget exclaims ”Aha! There’s one of the plates! That one looks to be... Chasarad. If you’re a Devotee of Magrim, that can be a Might helpful from keeping you from Passing over. If you at least agree with the taskmaster on some things, he might be willing to give you a bit of protection. Although Only True Dwarven devotees get the best treatment.”
Long story short, the bearer of the Runplate gets the following protections:
A +4 bonus on saving throws against death and paralysis effects.
If you have the Hero of the Five Kings boon (From 1-37, The Beggar’s Pearl), the runeplate also increases their effective Constitution score by 20 for the purpose of determining when she would die due to hit point damage.
If the creature’s alignment is lawful neutral, they can also be revived by breath of life so long as it is cast within 3 rounds (rather than just 1 round).
”To get to the Lower Ossuary, you gotta go shove that statue. When the ‘Caretakers’ come to ‘Maintain’ the ossuary, that’s normally where they set up the Keg. The f%@*ers never give me any of their Ale when they are here. It’s a tough life being a Skull, Cant experience the finer bits of being a dwarf. The beards, the Ales, the Merriment. If I knew this was the s+$+ I was getting into, I don’t think I woulda signed up for this job!”
After a gentle shove of the statue, a 5 foot opening reveals a narrow spiral staircase heading down, the temperature getting noticably warmer with every step.
"Traps eh? Well, there is really only the one. None of you are dwarves, right? Perhaps you should stay away from Magrim then. He's not exactly forgiving to Tresspassers, and since I passed on, I think they trapped the Big Guy. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get down there." Furrowing her brow for a moment (Which is a bit weird for a Talking Skull) she adds "You haven't been to the Lower Ossuary yet, have you? Chain bridges, Giant statue of Magrim, 40 foot drop to a Caldera of Magma? No? Well, I designed the whole place, so I can at least describe where everything is. On the other side of the Caldera is a Large iron door, with the Cooling room just on the other side. There are a few Enbalming chambers past that, and finally the Vault of Heroes, where only the most devout of Magrim are entombed. I'd hate to see what happened down there if that Ass got a hold of any more bodies..."
She can give you a full description of the rest of the Ossuary, and I will put up a map for it tonight when I get home. Additionally, Giant Pit of Lava, so let me know how you want to deal with that!
As for the Duration of existing buffs, assume it took 10 minutes to sort through the Gore of that warsworn, so your 10 minute per level buffs will absolutely last through this bit. Additionally, Unless you guys decide to Specifically waste time, If you have at least a half hour left on your buffs, I'm willing to assume they last the remainder of the adventure.

This might be my favorite part of this whole adventure:
If you're into some minor spoilers, here is Borsaget's In Adventure description.
"Well Thank Magrim that Someone's trying to put this s@+$ back together. That One Eyed Bastard dwarf came in earlier, and started tearing the place apart! Dragging all the bodies off the shelf, Cutting apart these big fleshy things, before slopping that in with the bones. He must know about the Runeplates, because he even pried those out to help animate that giant wiggler. How did you all manage to take the thing down?"
Borsaget struggles in Bellum's hand, trying to get a closer look at her surroundings. "It truly is a shame... All my beautiful work, scattered across the floor like Trash! You'll show that Short S*~* who's really in charge here, won'cha?"
"It's about F+&+ing time that you lot freed me from that slop! Can you imagine Bumping and Grinding against all those other Dwarf Corpses? It was like an Urgathoan Bachelorette party!" One of the flames flickers for a moment, almost like the skull was winking? "Name's Borsaget, but you folks seem to have figured that out already. What brings you to Taal Mornat?"
