No, that was not the plan! You said it was our turn (!) If there was a clear danger that after the push all undead will swarm inside and up the stairs - then Lionel stayed.
Athletics: 28
If zombies nevertheless ignored him and Ketch and run up the stairs, Lionel DimentionDoors both of them in front of Mordekay and Ulthan, waiting for the hoards to come to them.
(Also, let me know what happens when Meepo drops the wall of force. He might be able to add an action of help in, but it depends on what the undead in his chamber do once the wall is down.)
(To nitpick, weren't we right at or in the doorway? If both shoved back 5 feet wouldn't we still be at the far end of the steps now and at the very least get an AoO? And "swarming up either side?" Are there TWO sets of stairs?? I thought it was just one set that spiraled around the shaft? ((hehe, he said shaft... [/BeavisNButthead])) But end of day, we're losing the containment effort at the door no matter what - Just pure numbers wise, the mechanics insist we'll eventually have a bad roll that allows mob to run past. Stupids AC matters for getting punched but not shoved... So DD up in front of M&U probably way to go.)

(OOC adjustments : the stairs only go up one side, i mispoke. Yes, both Ketch and Lionel receive an AoO as the undead rush past. One each. Please take your AoO.)
As the undead shove and push, Ketch and Lionel are both shoved backwards. A stream of undead shove past, heading for the stairs. Ketch and Lionel smash and stab at them as they rush by....but soon the swarm is shoving their way into a position to surround the two, so Lionel grabs Ketch and with a twisting pop they both emerge on the stairs, just below Mordekai and Ulthan, read to defend from the undead that are charging upwards.
Lionel in front is the first to face an undead that runs up and takes a swing at him.
Attack on Lionel: 11 Damage: 23
The bottom of the well fills with undead, along with the stone golem that begins attempting to press its way up the stairs. It seems willing to knock undead off the stairs so it can proceed, as occasionally an undead falls from the stairs and lands in the mosh pit below.
Everyone can take another action.
Meepo peers out of the hole and looks around. The undead seem to continue milling about in this room. Though with the wall gone, Meepo can hear the sound of mass movement and occasional yells and cracks coming from somewhere a few rooms away.

Ulthan moves back up the staircase while firing into the crow, preferrably golem if he's visible amidst the mass and undead if not. Arrow1: 21 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Arrow2: 12 Damage: 17

"They swarmed me even when I was in a far corner from the stairs..." Ketch points out. If Ketch is able to he moves in front of Lionel, shoving him behind him to do so if need be...
"I get knocked down, I get up again..." Ketch says as explanation.
GSAxe Attack: 21 Damage: 7 on nearest undead he can reach... Plus 2 from Divine Strike if it hits, which I keep forgetting... grrr
Spiritual Weapon moves 20 feet closer to Ketch from the doorway they were at, but it also swings at an undead as it moves...
Meepo sighs and, moving so he is hanging half-way out of the sanctuary, he casts fireball targetting the group of undead, and trying not to include the table he is hiding under in the area.
The flames tear through the room Meepo is in, having good effect on the dry husks of undead. However they're fairly hardy and though left smoking, none of them go down. Meepo ducks back in.
Meanwhile, in the shaft, Ketch and Lionel get some good blows, in. One of the undead go down as it tries to run by, but another fills its spot. Moving up to the top with magic, a blow goes off of Lionel before Ketch steps in front with his urbane explanation.
His axe effectively cleaves into one of the creatures twice, sending bits of dry flesh flying, but the thing still stands.
Meanwhile, Ulthan takes a few shots down at the statue. The first arrow glances off without effect but the second strikes well, sending some chunks of stone flying.
Mordekai is up.

The stone golem is currently moving its way up the stairs? If so, Mordekai will move up the stairs so that he is always directly opposite the golem so as to not give it cover. Then he'll send 2 Eldritch Blasts at it. (If I've got that wrong and the golem is still behind undead, then Mordekai will target some undead without cover instead).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Now that you're in the shaft, and especially moving up the stairs that curl around the inside of it, along a steep stairway with no railings, there is no cover to be had anywhere. The golem especially towers above the undead, and so even though it's moving it's way up the line of undead by occasionally shoving one off the stairs, letting it fall a short ways to the bottom, there's no cover for it. Arrows plink off of it. Two blasts of arcane energy slam into it sending a rain of pebbles into the air.
The creature in front of Ketch, its wild undead eyes in a frenzy takes a moment to look at the big impervious armored opponent and tries something slightly devious. It grabs ketch and tries to pull him off the stairs with it!

Ketch moves the Spiritual Weapon 20’ closer to where he is, having it swing at a foe on it’s way… (if it passes the golem, then the golem. Otherwise any undead…)
Spiritual Weapon Attack: 23 Damage: 12
Ketch himself will continue swinging his axe at the target right in front of him…
GS Axe Attack: 18 Damage: 14 plus 4 Divine Strike damage if it hits…
((only +4 on Athletics so I’m not loving Ketch’s ability to push them off steps left and right the way I roll. Prolly faster to kill and let Golem work its way up?))
Sorry didn’t see your post while writing my own. Are steps wide enough for us to help one another on a push? How many undead between us and mummy at this point?

It was very close but it was a miss! Nevertheless, Lionel answered:
Attack: 22 Damage: 10
Attack: 15 Damage: 9
(Plus AoO: Attack: 12 Damage: 8 )
"You think they are after us or just want to get out? Maybe we should let them and only take down the golem with the key?"
For the moment the golem was at the bottom and the group had a few moments to talk strategy.

I was thinking the same, though was thinking may be told they’re so packed there’s no pushing them back… but yeah, right off the side I think…
Hey, you can certainly try for it!
Ketch, as the stone golem ploddingly pushes its way closer, it glares at you. Make a Wisdom DC 17 Saving throw or be slowed.
Everyone's actions again!

Why not? Lionel is better at Athletics (+9) but roll might be more important. Anyway, why one is pushing another is helping, so roll with advantage?
