Hob hears a grunt as his arrow finds purchase in his target. You all hear the priest begin to chant.

Tasskar (-4)
Iladora
Balenar
Arindel
Snapjaw
Avasir
Dolgarth
Selfi
From the base of the stairs below, Balenar starts singing a song about hardship and vengeance. Everyone gains +1 to hit, damage and saves vs fear and charm.
Snapjaw tries to live up to his name as he closes on Dolgarth and attempts to bite him, barely missing. Iladora pushes her way up the stairs, ready to engage the enemy.

Dolgarth steps around the beast, now surrounding it with Iladora. He takes a quick defensive strike, but also misses.

Like everyone eles, Hob sees and hears the trog chanting. He knows it can't be good, even if he doesn't understand exactly what the trog is doing, so he moves around behind the staircase and then north to get a clear shot, where he lets an another arrow fly in the hopes to disrupt whatever the evil trog has planned...
Everyone already has Inspire Courage from Balenar.

Hob moves for a better shot, but this time his arrow skips off the stone at zealot's feet. Avasir gets to the top of the stair and fires a beam at Snapjaw, but misses!
Under the assumption Arindel knows where the chanting is coming from so moves to try to disrupt him
Arindel moves as close as he can to the priest using the chair for cover until he can strike him down.
Arindel moves up. As the priest finishes his spell, the half-elf stabs out with his blade, bit sorely misses. Appearing next to Hob is a swarm of spiders that immediately engulfs the paladin.
Icky, creepy legs and fangs:1d6 ⇒ 6
Hob:
Need two Fort saves Distraction living creature damaged by swarm, DC 11 Fort save or nauseated for 1 round
PoisonSwarm-injury; save Fort DC 11; frequency 1/round for 2 rounds; effect 1d2 Str damage; cure 1 save.
Scimitar:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Tasskar swings his primitive weapon defensively before taking a step toward the bard.
Arindel steps from behind the cover of the throne a step away from the priest casting a spell of sleep on it to try to stop the encounter quickly.
Sleep, DC 13 will save

Dolgarth doesn't want to be bitten by a giant crocodile, but he also wishes to down the foe quickly, leading him to forgo some of his defense in favor of power.
The morbid rasp that comes comes from Tasskar can only be laughter as he grins wickedly at Arindel. "Sssilly warm-blood, me isss too sssstrong for your weak magicsss!" Meanwhile across the room, Avasir continues to have trouble hitting the crocodile. Dolgarth however lands a staggering blow on Snapjaw, nearly severing his spine...nearly.

Hob swats at the crawling and biting spiders swarming over him as he rushes to get out of their path and take another shot at the magic using trog near Arindel.
"It will take more than that to win the day you ugly cur!"
The elf reconsiders the effectiveness wearing armor tailored for a human male. The awkward fit obviously interferes with an otherwise competent fighting style. Iladora on the other hand takes full advantage of her position to drive her blade deep into the animal's back, plunging it straight through the crocodile's heart. Hob shakes of the spiders and sinks a second arrow into the reptilian druid. However, this only enrages the druid. He shows no sign of slowing down.
Spiders follow Hob, and find an easy prey in the distracted Iladora. All the while, Tasskar steps up to Arindel and slices a huge gash across the bard's abdomen.
Swarm damage:1d6 ⇒ 3
Hob & Iladora:
Need two Fort saves Distraction living creature damaged by swarm, DC 11 Fort save or nauseated for 1 round
Poison Swarm-injury; save Fort DC 11; frequency 1/round for 2 rounds; effect 1d2 Str damage; cure 1 save.

The crocodile defeated, Dolgarth moves to impose himself between the priest and his wounded friend. "Hold fast there, Arindel! And you," he says, suddenly switching to the troglodyte with a whip of his blade, "are dealing with me now!"
Iladora welcomes the spiders, hardly noticing their bites. Fool. These creatures were once my servants. Then, for his insolence, she rushes forward to attack the druid.
Avasir's dagger strike true! Dolgarth strides up and nearly severs the spine of the druid...nearly. As Iladora moves up, the tower shutters and just like that, the eastern section of the floor plummets toward the ground.
Hazard: The collapse of the lower levels has weakened the floor of this level’s eastern wing. If more than four Medium-sized creatures (two Small creatures count as one Medium creature) stand in the shaded area on the map, the easternmost 20-foot section of floor falls away. Characters standing in the affected area may make DC 15 Reflex saves to jump to safety.
Tasskar Reflex:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 Arindel Reflex:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8You may roll your own save Avasir Reflex:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Dolgarth Reflex:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Iladora Reflex:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8You may roll your own save
If you fail the save (or have an ace up your sleeve):
You may make a desperation saving throw {Reflex DC 16} to land awkwardly on the fourth floor
Falling damage:1d6 ⇒ 1 Arindel Reflex:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Arindel manages to grab on to the ledge!
Iladora Reflex:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5You may roll your own save
You may make a desperation saving throw {Reflex DC 17} to land awkwardly on the third floor
Falling damage:2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 Iladora Reflex:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8You may roll your own save
You may make a desperation saving throw {Reflex DC 18} to land awkwardly on the second floor
Falling damage:3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) = 13 Iladora Reflex:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6You may roll your own save At this point, Iladora would be at 0 hp and bleeding out. Roll to stabilize.
If you miss every save, you land among the rubble at the base of the tower.
Falling damage:6d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 5, 3, 4) = 20
At this point, Iladora would be at -7 hp and bleeding out. Roll to stabilize. IF ANY PLAYER HAS A REROLL AVAILABLE, I WILL ALLOW YOU TO DONATE IT!
Tasskar eyes go wide as gravity's grasp pulls him in its unrelenting embrace. His reptilian life ends in a cold-blooded smear at the tower's entrance, leaving a warning for any who would dare enter The Fallen Fortress ever again.
Female Human Ranger 4 | AC: 20/14/17 | HP: 27/36| Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +2 | CMB +8 (+2 sunder), CMD 20 (+2 vs sunder) | Init +2 | Perc +8 (+2 urban terrain, +2 vs undead)
You can have your reroll back Avasir, I have my own. In case you want it for Day Job or whatever. But thanks!
Reflex reroll:1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
The floor crumbles away under Iladora's feet, and she nearly falls-- but at the last second manages to grab hold of an ally and pull herself to safety. "Thanks for that." She picks up her axe where it had fallen and looks down at the dead reptile. "He's done for. The tower is ours!" She hoists her weapon in victory.
Arindel desperately twists in the air as he falls, landing awkwardly on the fourth floor, barely able to avoid the full fall to the ground.
"Well, that was close!" he says with relief, and just a hint of residual anxiety.
After the group picks their way through the rubble on the way out of the ruins, with a low voice he breathes, "Anyone else up for drinking? I know I sure could use a few."
The team takes their time picking their way back through the tower, passing the remains of the troglodyte druid. The trip back to Absalom is light enough as Arindel and Balenar trade songs. You make it back to the Grand Lodge and begin to realize the true lure of The Pathfinder Society, the paperwork and reports in triplicate.
Congratulations, you have conquered The Fallen Fortress!
As you may have noticed, the session was reported earlier in the week. You can find your chronicles here. Let me know if there are any issues. I will leave the game up for a few days so you can finish up any role playing. I should mark it inactive before Thanksgiving.

Though tired and with a heart still pumping fast, Dolgarth grins. "That was some adventure and no mistake. I'll certainly take you up on that drink."
