I make a knowledge undead check to tell us what kind of undead it is.  Total = 22
In the 3.2 seconds you've been viewing it, which include dodging a lightning bolt, I will give you that it is an intelligent corporeal undead.  More than that will have to wait for your turn.

No, I figured if I knew about an undead entity of a perceived power, I would know how likely it would be to resist spells I could cast.  I figured this was something I would know just cause of who i am, and didn't require much thought.

that was directed towards Artemus' question.  Harrick thinks that any undead that throws spells will be pretty resistant to non-damaging spells.

I don't think Marston needs to make a knowledge firearms check to know that undead don't like bullets.  As soon as I can, I unload a silenced pistol into the creature.  Marston now has two attacks.  How does that work with firearms?

Assuming you don't have a multi-shot firearm, then you have to have abilities that allow you to re-load quickly.  Which I believe you do.  If so, you have to shoot, re-load-shoot as part of a full round action.  That's means no movement in that round, other than a 5 foot step.

In that case, I have the appropriate skills to fire twice.  Plus, if we get an initiative roll (it stands to reason that this was the surprise round), then my opponent is considered flat-footed against my ranged attacks this encounter.  I will also need to make a sense motive check as a free action before initiative (DC = 20+target's BAB) in order to apply my sixth sense.

We got rid of that rule from some reason.  I don't agree with it but I was overuled.

Thanks to Gnevil and Artemus' detections, there was no surprise round, you can all roll initiative.

Also it wouldn't quite apply in this case because the creature already won initiative and fired upon us.

I think Malchia is referring to Marsten's pistolier ability that makes any opponent acting after him flat-footed in the round he draws his pistol.

Are there walls on either side of the stairs? The stairs wooden or stone?

The stair is in a narrow stone corridor.  The stairs are made of stone.
