This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Remembering the other spellcaster's penchant for fireballs, and not wanting to be on the receiving end of it from the next one, Sylnora runs towards the creature, disappearing in a cloud of mist and reappearing on the other side, casting a fire bolt behind her before heading for cover in the room Usul is in(as far in and around the corner as she can get).
'We're taking too long,' Loghain begins to think as he surveys the damage done to the creature. Focusing on his next two strikes, he slashes forward with deadly precision, aiming for cracks in the monster's stone skin.
Radiant fire splashes harmlessly off the golem's stone head. Under the combined fire of Sylnora's firebolt and Loghain's arrows, the creature is finally overwhelmed. The stone structure making up its body crumbles, and stone clatters to the floor.
Moving further up the steps towards the unconscious man he just dropped, Silthras still hears the sounds of battle below - barely - but nothing from above.

Silthras does not like to be alone in an unknown area and tries to rapidly gather the unconscious cultist, half-dragging and half-carrying them back down the stairs to rejoin the battle with the others. There were too many enemies down below for his liking.

With the brief respite that the creature's fall brings, Kal calms himself and lets healing magic wash over him, sealing some of the wounds he had received. He glances towards the other two still next to him, then backing up towards the room behind them. "Sylnora said there was more coming, spread out."
Velyra likewise takes the moment to recuperate, harnessing her divine energy to recoup some of her lost power. She drops concentration on the shield over Kal, and heeding his warning, backs off into the corner behind her. Air begins to swirl in her free hand as she channels a spell, ready to loose it when someone walks through the door. "Are you still able to fight, or do we need to consider a retreat?" She says back to Kal quietly.
Harness Divine Power to recover 2nd level slot. Waiting for someone to walk through the door on the upper left. Once they do, she drops a Shatter right on top of them. Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath if the spell gets triggered.
Syl peeks her head back around the corner at the others, hissing quietly, "There's another spellcaster in there. I can't hold her back any longer and I can't stop her, I'm nearly tapped." With her warning safely delivered, she retreats back behind cover, listening for what happens next.
Silthras nods at the news, "That's a relief. This is the only one I know of, but I think the wizard was battling something else. Seemed very preoccupied." He looks back down the stairs, "Give me a hand with this one, and lets get back."
Hopefully with Usul's help, he continues dragging the body back toward the main group. As they move he asks, "Do you think there's room in your bag for him?"
Movement: Back toward group; Action dash to get back faster; unless it would be quicker trying to dump the body in the bag.

With a big grin Usul just says, “We can try!” And tries to help his friend before heading back up with him
not sure where this works with initiative exactly…
Between the two of them, Usul and Silthras are able to drag the unconscious man back down the stairs without losing any speed, getting back into the circular room Syl is currently taking cover in.
Rapid footsteps begin to approach from the upper left room, and Velyra looses her spell the moment she catches a flash of red from a cultist robe. Air rushes through the room to a point centered in front of the cultist, then rebounds in a devastating explosion, knocking him far enough into the air to slam his head on the stone ceiling. Already injured from the earlier fight, he crumples as he hits the floor, dead.
A second set of footsteps now echoes throughout the room as another figure emerges - the spellcaster Sylnora had stunned earlier. As their first time seeing her, Kal, Velyra, and Loghain are met with a pale-haired woman that is nearly identical to the mage you just killed earlier - the pair could easily be sisters. Her hair is a ghostly white, and her eyes lack irises or pupils, alight with a faint red glow. She wears an elegant, skin-tight crimson robe with a split in the front for her legs. There is a cold hatred in her eyes as she surveys the destruction around the room. "I will remember your faces," She says cooly, walking to stand over the corpse of her look-alike. After recovering the fallen mage's staff from the ground, she speaks a quick word of arcane power. The space around her and the body shimmers, and with a sharp blip they both disappear.
The room falls silent once more. For the time being, no one else seems to be coming to join the fray.
Syl watches Silthras and Usul return from the staircase, dragging with them a prisoner. She waits for the inevitable sounds of battle to continue from the next room, but it never comes, instead she only hears a voice, and then nothing. Cautiously moving around the corner and into the room with the others, she takes a look around and asks "What happened? Where did they go?"

Seeing the blood still oozing from the cultists wounds (( if that's what the con save was )), Silthras asks Usul for help and does what he can to stabilize them, before looking up to assess the mood of his companions. They look tired and beaten, and though voctorious it seems, he is not sure what they have left to give.
Watching in frustration as more blood seeps out around the wounds he tried to patch up, he reaches into his pack, pulling out a healers kit, and takes the time to bind the wounds properly.
(( IIRC, Healer's kit auto-stabilizes, but takes one 'use' ))
Velyra brings a golden radiance down on the golem's head, casting Sacred Flame.
Remembering the other spellcaster's penchant for fireballs, and not wanting to be on the receiving end of it from the next one, Sylnora runs towards the creature, disappearing in a cloud of mist and reappearing on the other side, casting a fire bolt behind her before heading for cover in the room Usul is in(as far in and around the corner as she can get).
