Jakun looks for a spot to tie off a rope and flies it back to the room where his allies await.
"Hopefully this works".

It took some doing, but Jakun found a bit of projecting stone that should hold the rope and tied it up. The line played out, falling toward the ceiling as he went back to the others and having to swing wide around the huge statue of the dwarf in the room's center, but it seemed that it would do the job.
Caitlyn looked at the rope and sighed inwardly, this was going to be undignified. Glancing at Mariel, she said, "Come one then, time to go. I'll help you."
Grabbing a firm hold of the rope with one hand and Mariel with the other, Caitlyn started inching her way over, using one hand and her feet. It was awkward, it looked silly but darnit Caitlyn was good at this kind of thing!
When they finally got to the other side, Caitlyn nodded at Jackun and asked, "Where next?"
As the Companions set off down the rope Jakun strung across the long hallway and past the statue, the huge dwarf turns to look directly at them and brings its huge hands down from the ceiling, clenched in murderous fists!
Inits
Damn. Next golem needs some lubrication.
"Err..." Caitlyn glanced at the statue and gulped before glancing at Jackun,
"Err..." Caitlyn glanced at the statue and gulped before glancing at Jackun,
Unsure if the statue had abnormal reach, Caitlyn attempted to duck and tumble as she approached. Her armor and the hammer made this awkward but she ended up about five feet away and she managed to swing with respectable force but it was literally like hitting a stone wall. The shock ran up the hammer's metal haft busing her hands and she wasn't at all sure that she'd done any damage...
Mittens grunts as he makes his way towards the golem swinging his sword when he gets close. All his skill was not quite a match for the golem's unyielding hide. His blade struck sparks but left the stone unmarred.

Jakun's hands began to move in the passes of a spell, then froze as something unseen held him rapt.
A wave of unseen force rushed forth from the stone dwarf and for a moment the air seemed to turn thick about Caitlyn, Mariel, and Mittens before they fought off the strange power. Its twin fists descended upon the paladin with the force of mountains, knocking him from the rope. He fell upward and struck the ceiling, badly hurt.
Will DC 17 for everyone but Jakun, who is out of range.
Mittens is closer, so it's him for full attack
And he took damage, so there's a chance he loses his grip on the rope.
That heavy armor.
"We can't fight it like this!" cried Caitlyn. The only thing to do was to try and cross to the other side. She tried to swing around the rope as she surged towards the other side, but this was much easier said that done. In the end it was all she could do to hang onto the rope for dear life and drag herself towards the exit. Once she was on solid land again she intended to stand and fight but it was madness to engage it here.
Jakun huffs, "Nothing is easy in this place".
Jakun casts Stoneskin on Mittens.
He then grabs Mittens from the ceiling seeking to fly him across the room.
Mariel clung to the rope with one hand and invoked Paladine's blessing.
"mittens no can hit big rock man" he tried to move forward on the ceiling, gaining some ground.

Once she was on solid land again she intended to stand and fight but it was madness to engage it here. As she reeled about the rope, the golem swung its heavy hands and collided with Caitlyn with bone-breaking force.
Jakun huffs, "Nothing is easy in this place". Jakun casts Stoneskin on Mittens, warding him against golem blows. He then grabs Mittens from the ceiling seeking to fly him across the room. The two made the transit without difficulty. Before the far door, they felt normal gravity reassert itself. Jakun's spell made the descent smooth.
The dwarven statue acted then, bringing both heavy hands up and slamming them into Caitlyn. She kept her grip on Jakun's rope, but the raw force of each blow left her more battered and bruised.
Full Caitlyn

do you want us to Bot them?
Snarling in pain Caitlyn instantly sees red and brings her hammer round in a blur! It impacts with bone jarring force, sending fragments of stone flying. She then darts back through the door and cries, "Don't stand there Mariel!"

Mittens, stuck on the ceiling, stared at the stone dwarf and didn't know what to do.

She then darts back through the door and cries, "Don't stand there Mariel!" Her hammer bit not nearly so deeply as she thought it might, stopped dead by hard rock.
Jakun was again held rapt, lost in some strange reverie as the huge statue lumbered forward and swung its clublike hands at Mariel. The two tremendous blows nearly slew the Revered Daughter!
Jakun flies back into the room and around the creature, swooping u the Revered Daughter!
He then races towards teh far side of the room to deliver the Revered Daughter next to Mittens.
Two down and now just Caitlyn to retrieve it seems...
Feeling from the stone dwarf's assault, the Companions make for the door. Caitlyn hauls herself through the reversing gravity as Jakun sweeps up Mariel and brings her back to where he placed Mittens moments before. As soon as all are through the door, back the way they came, the statue turned and returned to its post in the room's center.
Mittens reaches out and lays hands on Mariel, she feels the power of the bison god healing her and protecting her

Jakun frowns, "Damn, Thistle has up and left. I hope my little friend finds his way back to us. We must press on!"
Favoring her side, Caitlyn muttered, "Oof that thing really hurt, I do hope we don't have to go back that way..."
Whirling on Jackun, "Wait what, he's gone?! He didn't even say goodbye." This was turning out to be a very bad day indeed. As much as he'd driven her crazy, Caitlyn was fond of the little Kender and was sorry to see him go.
Noting Jackun examining the hallway, she looks too.
Jakun frowns, "Damn, Thistle has up and left. I hope my little friend finds his way back to us. We must press on!"
Beyond the dwarf-guarded chamber, the Companions find themselves in yet another hall of the same chill, ebon stone as the rest of Skullcap. Some distance ahead, an alcove held an obsidian statue, robed and with an obscured face. It radiated menace. Opposite it stood heavy iron doors.

"Oh great!" remarked Caitlin upon seeing the robed obsidian statue. She folded her arms and said, "I bet that's the one Jackun was tempted by.."
"He may turn up again Caitlyn. I've been separated from him before and found him again.
Perhaps it is a statue of Fistandantilus. At least it is a new area to which we have not been before. It feels like we've been down here forever!"
Jakun glides forward his Fly spell still active. He casts Detect Magic once he gets within range of the statue.

Mariel knows the statue to be that of Nuitari, the Black Moon that devours, god of evil wizards and dark magic. He lures his followers in promises of swift, easy power and binds them tight with every secret, darkling revelation.
