Bjorn cursed and dropped his axe and shield, drawing his bow and he started shooting at the one that had been talking.

Heltinne Thrainsdottir, Speaker of Spirits

Heltinne pulled free her morning star as she moved up the steps, trying to keep the others between her and the living statue. She had no magical weapons and did not fancy breaking her spear on stone. Perhaps the morning star would do in a pinch, but she was not going to rush into the reach of that thing. Instead, she wanted to see the entrance and gauge if it were safer to advance onward than tangle with the enchanted guardian.

As Heltinne neared the door, she paused as a sound from one of the arrows shattering reminded her of something ... an image long ago of young men practicing their archery against an icy embankment, the plinks and cracks as they stuck ... different than metal, stone or wood. With a sudden epipheny, she called out to the others, "They're ice structures! Fire and flame will destroy their enchantments!"

Stepping back, she pulled free a small flask and flung it at the construct, praying it hit successfully.

Elissa and Bjorn scramble for their torches and flint & steels, trying to get the sparks to catch alight. Anna unfurls a long whip and steps forward, the lash making a loud <crack!> but missing the statue.

Signun fires again his arrow simply shattering against the impervious ice. Freyja takes a step back and sweeps her spear wide and low. She takes out the statue at it's ankles, sweeping its feet and sending it crashing onto its back.

Heltinne pulls forth a strange glass flask filled with a weird liquid. She hurls it at the toppled construct and the flask bursts into sticky liquid fire that coats it burning for 6 fire damage the flames strangely continuing to burn across its icy form.

"Keep it burning!" snaps Signy. Spotting her companions fumbling with their torches she flicks her wrist and both Elissa and Bjorn's torches burst fully into flames.

The sculpture lurches back to its feet, stomping implacably towards Freyja even as it still burns, its sword arcing and smashing into her for 5 damage.

• Lighting a torch with a flint & steel is a full-round action :-/
• Striking with a torch (damage + fire) will subject it to the shatter effect, but I will house rule you can touch attack for only the fire damage without fear of shattery, if you wish.
• A reminder that a large-sized longspear can't attack any foes within 10ft (which I'll ignore for this round). It's a reach-only weapon.
• I think Freyja needs another +1 to her CMB from Anna's inspire courage, which makes her trip a hit.
• Caryatid column is on fire for 1 round from alchemist fire.

Freyja and Elissa grapple with the ice statue, arms and legs locking around the slick ice sculpture. Muscles strain and bulge as the construct exerts its force against the women, but they hold it firm. The rest of you gather around, either helping to hold firm the thing or holding a flaming brand to it. Slowly, its form begins to melt, first the features of its face subsiding away then eventually the weakest joints in its limbs dissolving and snapping off. After what feels like forever you are left with only an inanimate icy torso and the scattered hunks of ice that once formed its limbs.

Spoiler: info

Show

Heltinne Fort vs DC14 (1d20+1)[15] or weapon shatters. Save! But nil damage vs DR5.

Freyja can maintain the grapple/ pin easily enough (+13 CMB vs statue CMD 15).
The construct cannot easily break Freyja's pin if she is assisted by Elissa (+2 per assist gives statue CMB +6 vs Freyja's adjusted CMD 20+)
Touch attacks with the burning torches will be easy enough on the pinned statue.

Therefore, with some tediousness, you can restrain it and slowly melt it over ~10 rounds.

For the sake of all our sanity I am happy to hand-wave this (I have rolled it out. Also no WM interrupt).

"Well, that was a tricky one," Anna said when they had melted the critter, "and it doesn't bode well for what we will encounter inside. Everybody okay?"

Heltinne Thrainsdottir, Speaker of Spirits

Heltinne placed a hand on the giantess, speaking softly. "The battle is done, warrior. Save your strength for the trials ahead." Turning to the door, she stepped forward, hooking her mace upon her hip and freeing her spear once more. Calling upon the connection to the outer realms, Heltinne's eyes glowed white as she peered toward the door, seeking any runes of protection or mystical traps. Once she had checked for auras, she checked to see if the others were ready before opening the door.
