Brock trys to get out the way of the fire, Reflex:1d20+1=17
Then Brock takes his turn to run into the room with his fellow mates.
Kirwen flattens himself against the wall as the flames roar down the passage, avoiding the worst of their heat.
"Think we need a new plan," he growls, carefully backing up the passage into the room .

Then Brock takes his turn to run into the room with his fellow mates.
Juliare moves to D6 , he will let Quick withdraw but won't let anyone ese go into the corridor . He will be careful not to point his arrow toward the creature and will tell ' Peace , there has been a mistake here ! '
Brock and Kirwen carefully move away from the creature. Juliare tries to communicate with it, but it shows no sign of responding. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to pursue our heroes either.
Thrakhir and Quick have a chance to act before we drop out of initiative (unless you want to continue to fight it).

"It ain't comin' after us. Light it up, Quick."
"It's guarding something in that room," says Kirwen. "Think we need to invite ourselves in somehow." He looks at Brock. "It's tight in there - I'd need space. But, if the halfpint's lightning can't get the job done, one of us could maybe just shove the damn thing outta the way, if we tried."
Juliare frowns when he see the newcomers try to manipulate Brock :
'Before rushing headlong into problems , let's try to think a little . Who or what is that ? And what are his motivations ? Would he let us enter if accompanied by a priest of this temple for example ? '
"I can do a reasonable Kanto impersonation", says Raven, uncertainly. "But would it really fool that thing?"

Obviously, Thrakhir is growing impatient with standing around and discussing the next plan of action. "It's prob'ly requirin' some secret word, knock, handshake, or some other nonsense."
As long as the construct is not actively engaging the party, Quick will take a step back, her finger still trained on the thing, and allow for some discussion.
"Raven, was it? Dear, if you don't mind dressing up in dead women's clothes, I would suggest that you try the ol' switch-a-roo. Kanto probably had it wrapped around her little finger. It's blocking us from something, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't block everyone. Are you up for it?"
Raven swallows. "I don't need to use the clothes she's actually wearing, do I? I bet she's got some more clothes in her room."
Clark tugs at her arm. "Don't do it, Raven. You'll just get yourself killed. You're not an adventurer like these people."
Raven looks unsure and looks to you for guidance.

"Have we tossed 'er room? Maybe there's a clue."
"The last thing we want is for you to get killed. You said you did a pretty mean impersonation of Kanto, so I was thinking that might be enough to order the thing around. You could probably dress up in whatever you wanted, as long as you pulled it off well. Give it a shot kid. If that doesn't work, then I'll give it a shot.", Quick says with a wink.
"Unless you all think you'll be needin' me, I'm gonna go give Kanto's room another look. See if I can find a way past this thing."
If no one objects, Thrakhir will make his way back to Kanto's room and give it a thorough search looking specifically for any clues about the golem.
Black Tom
Well, Raven is gonna have to go to Kanto's room to play dressup, so I'll go with her and start my search then. If Raven's ruse works, I assume someone will come up to get me; and, if it doesn't, I won't be much use with the floor layout the way it is. As far as I'm concerned, and unless someone suggests otherwise, I would rather just continue my search as Raven leaves. I'm sure there has to be something of interest here even if it is no help with getting past the golem.
I would also like to suggest that Raven don any jewelry, weapons, items, etc. that Kanto had on her.
Black Tom
Thrakhir:
Raven dons as much as she can of Kanto's things and does her impersonation. In a very Kanto-esque voice she calls out to the construct: "Stand aside, minion!" Her impersonation is rather mediocre, but it seems to work. The construct actually moves aside.
"You did it, girl!", whispers Quick enthusiastically. "Now, let's take a gander at what this thing was guarding."
Black Tom
There is a catch, though. The construct only lets "Kanto" pass and blocks the way for the rest of you.
Thrakhir:
Thrakhir walks down the steps to the rest of the group. "Well, I found these keys. But I'm guessin' they went to that lock I just picked," he points to the open door. It's then he realizes that Raven is inside the room beyond. "I'll be bugger'd!" he says. "I was figurin' there's no way that plan could work. What you all waitin' on? Let's get in there."
Once Quick explains the situation, Thrakhir looks disappointed and begins thinking. Suddenly, Thrakhir's eyes light up, "Maybe we all could dress like acolytes."
"Sure. I can just picture it now. The Watch walks in and we desperately try to explain that we're just pretending to be priests of death. Really, we're just dressing up in the dead's clothes." Quick sighs. "Try it if you want, I doubt they'll fit me."

"If I's jokin', Quick, I'd say 'just get on my shoulders and we can share a cloak between us,'" he says with a hearty laugh. Then his face turns thoughtful, "Hm-m-m-m-m, I wonder if that'd work?" he utters musingly.
Raven , do you see anything of interest here ?
If not , I vote we strop trying to get in there and go find the authorities .
We have got the proofs there were crimes committed here and the beggars will be free from now on .
Or do you want to keep watch here while I'll go alone ?
"No, I can't see anything here except that creepy little shrine", Raven answers, trying to suppress the panic in her voice and still sound like Kanto. "If you haven't got any more ideas, I'm coming back."
"Can you try telling that thing to let us through?"
"Can you try telling that thing to let us through?"
"I can try, yes." Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working.
Ok come back here please then

Hesitantly Raven tries to pass the monster. It lets her pass, leaving you all back in the room.

"I say we at least a couple of us try some acolyte robes. We don't have to dress fully but we can try donning the cloaks and shroudin' ourselves."
"We ain't got any more leads, right? and that room's the only one we ain't checked, yeah?"
"As far as I can figure, yeah. It don't take a genius to see that this thing is guarding something for a reason. And it's doing a helluva job. We could always leave it for now. You can try playing dress-up if you want, but if that don't work, we don't have to worry right now. Kanto, or someone who does a heck of an impression, is the only person who can get past the thing. Chances are pretty good that Kanto ain't comin' back to claim whatever's in there, so we can rest easy."
Thrakhir will go upstairs and see if there are two cloaks that are available and try to find one that will fit Thrakhir (if I can't find one that's fine, obviously if this thing can't see through Raven's disguise, it isn't the brightest). He'll go back downstairs, handing one to Kirwen, "You comin'?" and putting on one himself (around the corner out of the view of the golem) doing his best to fully cover his features in the hood of the cloak and wrapping it around his clothing. "Lead the way, Ma'am. If anythin' goes sideways, get out quick." he says to Raven.
Kirwen dons his cloak, trying to stoop so as to look a little less like the massive figure he is. The cloak only comes to the tops of his boots, so he has to bend over to make it reach the floor as it is intended. The result is more than a bit comical, but Kirwen just pulls the hood over tighter and prepares to head down the corridor after Raven.

"You are not going to be convinced otherwise, do you ? " juliare says with a sigh
"Just let me scrounge some more arrows from the guards '
coming back , Juliare move to D1 , stops and turns back to the others '
"Guys , did you check the double doors while I was not there ? Don't worry if not , Brock and me will stay here and keep an eye on them "
Brock will stay with juliare... "To gaurd the rear..."
Raven tries her Kanto impersonation again, waves her hand at it and says: "Go away, Harold." Amazingly it works. Then Kirwen and Quick/Thrakhir try to follow her, looking as much as acolytes as possible.
Stooping, knees bent, shoulders hunched over, it shouldn't work - but somehow, Kirwen seems to be pulling it off. He shuffles down the hallway after Raven.
