Watching with awe as Chen handily dispatches the Medusa into little snake bits. Russel quickly moves the the other golem to assist with its dispatching.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nuzej advances, sending a cold lance of magic towards the Golem which bounces off harmlessly. Then Chen steps into the creature, his hammer slamming into it twice leaving two huge dents. Mirica, fighting 'tooth and nail' scratches her nails across the things metal body but her claws can't penetrate its armor. Russel steps into the thing with his scimitar, finding a weak spot in a seam and sword slips right into the inner workings, where he hears grinding and all sorts of terrible damage. Tic who is invisible seems to hang back, watching the battle....while nobody has a clue to where Fianna has gone after he made her invisible.
The Golem is tough though and continues trying to pound on his target, Mirica : Attack: 25 Damage: 27 (-2 to attack). Attack: 20 Damage: 28. (-3 to attack)
Everyone's action, again resolved in Initiative order....

Mirica was too concentrated on the battle to notice her own wounds but the last blow from the golem reminded her - suddenly and too vividly - that if she continues this way, the next hit will be the last one too. Guarding spirits around her disappeared and she stepped away
Fianna would likely dash a full room away, then start meandering... wandering a bit aimlessly, generally away from the fight, but also likely getting distracted by checking out the things on display. Normal Fianna would be more into the books, this Fianna more into the knickknacks and toy like objects... she’d likely be like a child and want to touch everything.

Russel really admires Chen for his dedication to smashing things with his hammer. It nearly rivals his own dedication to stab things when they least expect it.
Nuzej knows that Iron Golems' thrive on fire....in fact it regenerates them, so stay away from that. They're also resistant to magic spells....though this shouldn't make the telekinesis impossible..just...they're also very strong so they'll have a better chance of resisting the pull. He knows, as a construct, they're also immune to poison and psychic damage. As for the cold, if he'd been able to hit, it should have done damage. Otherwise they're immune to most physical attacks that aren't magical or adamantine.

The wizard nearly fires off a scorching ray and stops at the last minute, remembering a smaller iron golem he'd read about that drank in fire-based spells.
So he continues racing forward and closes to melee range, looking up at the construct. He looks at the much-better-prepared-for-melee barbarian and rogue, and steels himself, knowing he does not belong, but wanting the threat to end. He reaches out, lightning crackling from his forearm, and tries to make contact with the golem's posterior, casting shocking grasp:
Attack: 17 Damage: 21 lightning damage (the plus 5 is from his empowered evocation feature)
If it hits, the golem can't take reactions until the start of its next turn, so depending on when Nuzej goes in the round, Mirica wouldn't have to disengage and would actually have a full action.
Nuzej steps closer to the massive golem, swinging his hand at it....powerful lightning crackles along his finger tips as he strikes but the golem lurches to the side at the last moment and the lightning disperses into the air harmlessly.
Chen takes two massive strikes at the thing, the first leaving a massive dent in it's thigh, the second blow glancing off the things armor with little effect.
Mirica...suddenly realizing how many times she's been struck by the sword and how badly wounded she is, carefully backs away and moves back 30 feet.
Russel leans in and his blade slices through a rent in the chest left by one of Chen's blows, and his blade strikes something hard, yet vital. And yet again the whole golem's flesh just bursts away like so much paper mache, leaving bits of papery golem on the ground, revealing yet another Medusa....which he stabs with his dagger.....and also which everyone is staring at.....
The medusa whips out a short sword, swinging at Russel... Attack: 6 Damage: 5 (-4 from Bane) Attack: 7 Damage: 3 (-2 from Bane) and once with her snake hair snapping forward to bite him... Attack: 6 Damage: 3 (-4 from Bane) plus poison which is ineffective at the moment on the poison immune Russel.
Everyone's turn, again, resolved in init order, and start your turn with a DC 14 CON save. If you fail, yer stone. I believe everyone but Tic and Fianna are now within 30 feet and are struck with the initial 'view' of the Medusa.
The wizard slaps his head against his forehead, refusing to believe he fell for the same gambit, and this frustration with himself allows him to steel himself against what would have been a pretty terrible fate.
His other hand comes up and he tries to fling the medusa into the sphere -- the telekinesis is still up.
((Fianna just continues wandering and touching things and so forth... and composing a thesis about theoretical algebra and its relationship to conjugation Magic. But mostly just touching the sparkles and shinies and such.))
There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. There is nothing except this. There's the next enemy and nothing else.
The kenku tries to look away or shut his eyes...the Medusa appearing isn't even that surprising...but a brief glance is all it takes as his body shimmers into grey and he's left as stone.
Chen, like a miner at work....just keeps lifting the hammer with those massive muscles....and bringing it back down....hammering the next thing he finds in front of himself without stopping....
Wisdom save vs toll the dead: 2 (-1)
Magical ringing bells gong near the Medusa who staggers from the magic...struck twice by Chen with bone cracking blows.
Mirica, Chen, and Nujez find themselves fighting the monster alone.... the medusa moves away from Chen (disengage)...pursuing Mirica....
Nujez, Chen, Mirica, you're up! As you're all still targeting her with spells and attacks, start your turn with a Con Save DC 14.

Chen CON save: 28
Another one turned to stone. So is this the end of the story? Everything we had, everything we did buried in dust, and this dust is all that's left of us? No, this must not be. It will not be. Following his target, Chen swings his hammer with eyes wide open.
Like in a horror movie, Nuzej scrambles back again, almost off his feet, as the monster keeps coming, 30 more feet back. At least if he draws it away from the others, they might have more of a chance. Jezun knew how to move so much faster, where was he in moments like this?!?
No matter. He calls forth a series of rays, blazing with fire, and one by one, aims them for the medusa's eyeballs.

Still determined to flatten the golem, Chen continues to hammer away, his heavy blows echoing around the circular chamber.
