Penny once again lines up for another shot, hoping to end this battle.

Penny lets out an audible gasp, screaming "Foul Beast! Don't touch me!" With the flick of her wrist she disappears and re-appears on the other side of the room . From her new location she takes aim and fires another bolt from her light crossbow.
Penny nods, focused and in agreement with her team. She feels empowered from Tykent and lines up to take another shot.
She reloads again quickly getting ready to try again.
Feeling boosted, Penny draws her Masterwork light crossbow and takes aim. "Reduced to this. Blasted crossbow, don't fail me now."
Seeing her shot fly far far off into the distance, she quickly redraws getting ready for another shot.
Knowing the rest of her spells are going to be ineffective against this beast, she falls back to her only other weapon. She draws her wand of gravity bow and touches it briefly upon herself.
"This beast is beginning to frustrate me. Third time is a charm?"
vs touch
With no time for snide remarks, Penny realizes the seriousness of the situation. She focuses a little harder this time, and tries again to blast the creature with negative energy.
vs touch
"Yng, your personal preferences now explains so much, but this it not a time for that. Get yourself focused!" Penny takes a step back before blasting the creature with her own ray of negative energy, attempting to weaken the foe. vs touch
"Don't look? How will I know how to close the window if I don't look at it?"
"Ahh, foul creatures pearing back at us. For this I agree with Tykent. Azmer mentioned using some sort of dispel magic, or enhanced force magic, neither of which I possess. We must study the window more to better understand what we can do." Penny looks around the room, trying to figure out and learn as much as she can about the window.
Sorry for the delay on my post, for some reason I thought this game was cancelled!
"What in the?!?"
"We will have enough of this! Show your true form!"
Suffering no damage from the back of the line, Penny wipes some dust off her clothes... "Well that was enough excitement I think. Come Icilias, back on your feet. Good show out there everyone. Job well done if I do not say so myself." She pauses to look around at the options, looking to the east first. "Lets head east! No time to stop now!" As an added precaution, Penny will cast detect magic in the passage to the east, just to assure they are not running into anything wonky.
seeing Icilias collapse, Penny begins to lose her cool. "Enough of this!" She reaches out her hand to grab a hold of the bones of this massive beast, rattling him from the inside.
"Now that I have gotten my bearings straight, lets try this again shall we?" Penny casts ray of Enfeeblement again.
"This room is just too distracting!"
Seeing the giant hulking creature before us, Penny shouts out. "Ahh good tactics Tykent. We must weaken this foe so these fools can be effective."
"Bah! Can barely even see him to make contact!" Penny scoffs.
"Yes yes, let us continue on while the lot of you seem to be running on a positive streak. Leave no stone here unturned. "
Penny steps down trying to get a clear shot at the remaining spectre. "Its too crowded in here!" she whines out. vs touch
Edit: New Action. Penny will run into the room behind Cym, and attempt another disrupt undead at the top target. vs touch
Seeing a new opportunity in her allie's positioning, Penny reaches out her hand, as if to grasp the ghostly bones of the [red] creature, as she attempts to manipulate it to her will.
Penny chirps up to Icilias "Still trying to master elementary spells ehh newcomer? Let me show you how its done" (cover penalties, and blasting into melee not applied)
"Bah, would be much more effective if we could see them clearly! "
"You give them ONE NIGHTS REST and he sits there and stares at the door all day. You doing to go in there, or just keep looking at it?" Penny motions for Cwm, and party, to proceed through the door, examining the room beyond. Once in, she gives the space a once over as well, consuming her surroundings.
"Not just I, but even Taylor had to dive into danger to save the lot of you. You are just lucky the rest of us on are feet were competent enough to keep you alive." Penny gives a brief nod to Eldon and Tykent as she tries to wipe away some of the sweat from her brow. Clearly she is trying to hide the fact that she had definite concern for getting out of here alive. "Now, I agree - perhaps a rest is necessary for you all. I need you all in tip top shape if we are to make it through here"
"Well then that went poorly. Taylor, I don't normally ask of this, but it looks like we need all we can get here." She nods, and it is as if Taylor knows exactly what to do. He performs a flyby attack, keeping himself out of range of the mummy, while blowing forth a massive blast of fire out to the mummy (for Taylor its massive, for everyone else its pretty darn cute). Simultaneously, Penny holds out her hand as a ray of what is this? Positive Energy? rushes out to attack the foul creature. Taylor performs a flyby attack and uses his breath weapon, maintaining his distance to stay out of reach of the mummy.
Penny casts Disrupt Undead
Penny cracks her knuckles in frustration "You are starting to get on my nerves creature...I Said Stay Down!" This time Penny anger echos as if the room itself shakes at her anger with this creature.
While the creature is surrounded by her 'friends' Penny tries once again to put the mummy to the ground.
"Go down foul creature!"
She stomps her foot once more, again trying to trip the creature
"Cym! Do something other than interfering with our magic! Try poking it perhaps! Penny curses trying to make excuses for her poor magical performance.
"Convictions? I know what I have done. Do you?" Penny shouts back with a smirk, as she stomps her foot to the ground, emitting a ripple of energy towards the mummy.
thunderstomp: You stomp your foot or strike your weapon against the ground or floor, creating a ripple of power that you can use to trip a creature. Attempt the combat maneuver check to trip the target, but instead of your base attack bonus you can use your caster level, and instead of your Strength modifier you can use your spellcasting ability score modifier (Intelligence for magi and wizards; Wisdom for druids and rangers; Charisma for bloodragers and sorcerers). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. This spell has no effect if you cannot reach the ground or floor, or if your target is not in contact with the ground or floor.
"Wait, Aren't rooms with Mosiac's on the floor known for typical trouble? Hold on there!" Penny looks around before casting detect magic on the floor, and the Marble Statue.
Now which one called me ugly..... bah, no time for this.
Penny removes the mat revealing the trap door leading down. "What do you make of this one?" Penny focuses on the trap door, once again with DM checking for any spells or magic.
"Did you just call me?!?! Oh we will have words later, after I save you yet again" Penny reaches her hand out targeting the BROWN grioth, causing its bones to shake and rattle. She attempts to force it to move south 5', provoking aoo's from both Cym and Yng. DC 17 fort (save for half damage and prevent movement)
Penny sighs as he walks over to Azmur. Her tone is extremely condescending. "Hi there. Penny here. Pardon my hesitation, as I am not quite as naive as some of my companions here. You have given us quite an earful of information, yet completely glossed over the obvious question. How are you and your wife involved in all of this? Merely a slave? Thats... ahem.. all? Nothing more? How does just a slave learn all the, quite intricate, details regarding the tapestry, aliens, grioths. Oh my... What else aren't you telling us?" Penny also adds to the study group.
"You were supposed to subdue him with your words you fools. Now look at the mess you have gotten us into. I suppose I am going to have to bail you out once more." Penny raises her hands to the air before stomping her foot fiercely to the ground. A crackle of thunder washes over the area, sending a surge of energy towards the man.
As the powerful energy rushes out over, penny shouts out "Its in your best interest to stay down... thunderstomp: You stomp your foot or strike your weapon against the ground or floor, creating a ripple of power that you can use to trip a creature. Attempt the combat maneuver check to trip the target, but instead of your base attack bonus you can use your caster level, and instead of your Strength modifier you can use your spellcasting ability score modifier (Intelligence for magi and wizards; Wisdom for druids and rangers; Charisma for bloodragers and sorcerers). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. This spell has no effect if you cannot reach the ground or floor, or if your target is not in contact with the ground or floor.
"Another quiet night. You are all welcome for having a nice place to rest for the evening. Hope you made good use of the time." Eyeing over the options Penny claims "We should clear the grounds first before entering the monastery. We don't want anyone, or anything, trying to sneak in behind us. Come on Taylor. Give us a peak won't you?" Penny gathers the rest of the party, assuming they agree with the plan, and begins to heads towards the grounds. She orders Taylor to fly ahead 25' from the party, and return at his first sight of trouble.
"Ah, the Calvary has arrived. Just in time too. You may all wish to reconsider our previous offer... or not" Given the threat range, Penny begins to cast a spell defensively.
She then reaches out her dark hand, attempting to touch the red kobold in front of her.
touch of blindness: A touch from your hand, which is engulfed in darkness, disrupts a creature’s vision by coating its eyes in supernatural darkness. Each touch causes the target to become blinded for 1 round unless it makes a successful Fortitude saving throw. You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per caster level. Any touch attack not used after 1 round per caster level is lost. Rounds Remaining: 3/4
Penny shouts outside to her friends 'Its barricaded! Put some muscle into it!" Back with her attention inside, she sees herself surrounded, and poofs away once again to the other side of the room.
Appearing on the other side, she shouts out "Boo!" She draws her wand, and touches herself with the tip.
Penny's AC: 16
Following behind Yng a bit offsite, Penny yelps back "If we want in, I can get in. I just need to know you will be behind me when I do. To do so all I need it to be able to see inside. If you can get me close enough to peak through those arrow slits, I can likely get in. That is of course if you want to attempt to force our way in. I'd be open to other suggestions, as this puts me at an obvious risk."
Spoiler: The arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any location she can see.
Belittle? Insecurities? Nonsense. Nothing I have not heard before. Onward we go... Penny's eyes snap back to focus, as if lost in a train of thought. "Taylor reported nothing crazy when he did a flyby, and I trust him more than.... " She pauses for a brief moment. "I trust what he says. So yes, I agree with Yngvilda and Icilias, and give 'my' approval that we should venture to the guardhouse to setup camp for the evening."
Hearing that Icilias is friends with the baroness, Penny's tone completely changes from 'stuck up', to stuck right up Icilias's bum. "Ahh a personal friend of the baroness you say. Well then welcome aboard. We certainly could use another hand here as our foe is not to be underestimated. If there is anything you need, please let me know. I am sure I can get Cwm to get it for you." Her attention shifts slightly "Cwm. You OK over there? That wight got you, so if I know my wights, and of course I do, I am guessing you are feeling a bit weak right about not. Unfortunately nothing that I can do to help. We need to find a competent healer to address your specific problem." Her eyes roll over Tykent as she makes that remark, before moving on with the rest of the party to the abandoned structure. Penny attempts her best fake laugh at Icilias's comment before chiming in. "I suppose there is only one way to find out. Taylor! We are in need of your services yet again. You know what to do!" Taylor flies out over the gate, towards the guardhouse, giving it a once over before returning to Penny.
Penny looks over the newcomer to the party. She thinks to herself What is this? It was me... I was brought on to help these no gooders get the job done, and the Baroness sends yet another? She must think of me as some sort of failure! No... No! I am no failure! This must be some sort of test. Yes but of course. Am I competent enough to rally another to our cause? Can she even be trusted? The baroness is testing my leadership skills for sure." Penny does not say a word yet. She spends her time eyeing over this 'threat', with Taylor circling around her [penny].
She finally decides to speak up sternly. "Who sent you here? What do you know of this 'dragon threat', and what makes you think you can be of any assistance to me, ahem, to us?"
Penny can't use the vestment. Arcanists are considered prepared casters for the purposes of feats/gear like that, so no problems passing on that one. Also the metamagic rod does not make much sense for her as she is not built for damage as much as she is CC/debuffs, also pass. Loot sheet is missing the ring for force shield, which I believe is going to Cwm. Also - I may have been mistaken, but I think we have to give up that book "Secrets of the Dreaming Dark" to Aeteperax right? So we can't even sell it for phat loots (its currently listed given to Penny. I just wanted to confirm).
"Cwm you fool! What are you doing? Stop healing it with your face!" Penny shouts out, as she once again tries to blast the undead creature.
"Blasted foul creature. You smell of filth. Tykent, Eldon. Do not let it touch you!" Penny curses as she reaches out casting a spell towards the undead. As soon as the ray leaves her finger, she steps into a magical portal, appearing on the other side of the room.
Penny turns her attention to the Wight closing in on the squishy backline. "Watch Out Eldon!" she shouts, as she stomps her foot again in the water, causing a splash to rumble out towards the creature.

Penny shouts "I cannot keep these foes at bay forever. You are going to have to do better than that!" Penny reaches out towards the new arrival and attempts to send it back the way it came.
boneshaker:
An undead creature takes no damage. Instead, you manipulate the undead, forcing it to take an immediate action to either move up to its speed (provoking attacks of opportunity as normal) or make a single attack against a creature of your choice in its reach. Either of these is the most basic version of the action the creature can take (it doesn’t activate any special abilities that it could apply to the movement or attack, such as grab). A successful saving throw negates this effect. A mindless undead creature doesn’t receive a save against this effect. If its not mindless, the DC is 16 fort. If its mindless no save.
Looking over the battle field, Penny focuses to quickly attempt to give her allies the upper hand. She stomps her foot in the ground, making an obvious splash in the water. In doing so a tremble rushes through the water out towards the wight.

Seeing the second wight approach from the south Penny shouts to her team "There is another! I will try to keep it at bay as long as I can. This will be exhausting" She reaches her hand out in an attempt to take control of the undead creature. She then moves herself into the northern corner of the room.

TL/DR; Delay until after the wight goes.
"Well look at the lot of you! Not completely as incompetent as you let on. Good job!" She follows the others down the steps into the alcove. "Peciliar statues. Perhaps guards of whatever was buried in that sarcophagus." Penny reaches out, casting detect magic on the statues closes to them, concentrating if she detects any auras.
Penny follows, and after Yng asks about the mosaic she rolls her eyes "Yes give me a moment to investigate!"
"Yes yes, I am confident as ever that shield and ring are what I was sensing here. The ring could prove useful if anyone here fights with their fists, otherwise perhaps we just hold onto it for a little while ehh?" Penny nods in satisfaction, and agrees with Yngvilda that she, Penny, does not want to dirty up her hands by wielding the shield. "I am not picking up any further magical aura's from this place, but perhaps we should not leave any stone un-turned, aha if you get my drift. " Penny points at the other 2 sarcophagi, waiting patiently for Cym to give it a look over.
"I've inspected them myself, and it seems like there is nothing special about either."
"No idea what that means. Looks like jibberish to me. No distractions while I concentrate on the aura's"
