Kel sipped his sword clean on the dead troglodyte, barely holding his breakfast. After he's done, he helps search the room thoroughly, especially interested in the weapon racks.
Take 20 on perception to search the room and the weapon/armor racks

"Yes...it's the smell...not even a week old battlefield should have this stench...Hhrk!" She turns away, dry heaving into the corner. You'd think she'd be made of sterner stuff, but this is her first real adventure. She's green around the gills still. Literally.
"Onward then?"
Please tell me I feel better when we leave the horrid smell behind.
Seeing nothing suspicious about the door Kel Na'Yaa opens it.
Judging from the shelves lining the walls, this darkened room might once have been a storeroom, though it's contents have long since succumbed to the passage of time. A crack in the northern wall has apparently let in some rainwater, which has collected in a large puddle on the floor. Standing inside is a dog sized lizard with two horns. One on either side of it's head and green scales that crackle with sparks of electricity.
Dc 12 Knowledge Arcana:
You recognize this creature as a Shocker Lizard. A shocker lizard has a pale yellow underside, with bright green scales elsewhere on its 3-foot-long body, and weighs about 25 pounds. Shocker lizards tend toward group living, as their electrical abilities grow in power when they are close to another lizard.
A shocker lizard colony is usually located near a source of water. Once the colony has settled on a location, the lizards become very territorial and attack anything that intrudes on them. A solitary shocker lizard is a timid and hesitant creature—but when several of them gather they become formidable and fearsome opponents capable of killing creatures several times their own size.
A shocker lizard relies on its electricity abilities in combat, and a lizard tends to bite only after its shock has rendered an opponent unconscious, or when the shock seems to have no effect at all. A solitary lizard flees once it delivers its shocks, but if other shocker lizards are nearby, they all hone in on their comrade's discharges and attempt to administer lethal shocks to their foe.
Many have attempted to capture and tame shocker lizards, but this often proves a difficult and painful task. Alone and in captivity, shocker lizards tend to wither and die swiftly unless their keepers spend a lot of time grooming and playing with the lizards to keep them company. Kept in pairs or larger numbers, captive shocker lizards thrive, but their increasing electrical ability makes them more difficult to manage for keepers who aren't themselves immune to electricity.
S!*%. I don't even have to read the spoiler to know what that is. Unfortunately, Kel has no idea and is likely going to get fried. Let's just pray there is only one.

No Arcana. Should invest in that.
"Things wanting to kill us. We must be going in the right direction."
Febida reaches out and touches Kel's sword, saying a few words in an ancient Dwarven dialect. His blade glows red hot, but he feels nothing. "Try that on him. You've only got one shot, so make it count!"It lasts 1 round/level, so you only get the one shot.
Febida then steps up and to the side, ready to enter after anyone else. 5-foot step.
You get 1 question if you would like Eveladane[/ooc]
Eveladane hurls an small bolt of acid at the small crackling lizard which just seems to take it from hopping around to pissed of as small sparks snap from it's horns.
Febida asks for divine favor as she touches Kel's blade. As soon as her hand leaves small flames wreath his blade. Sun metal I am assuming?
Dandy is persistent that he will trip something in this tower. Unfortunately it won't be this lizard. It did not fail by 10 or more so you are not tripped instead
Kel Na'Yaa rushes in at the lizard and stabs into it's body.
The lizard arcs lightning across it's horns and lashes out at Kel Na'Yaa with an arc of lightning.
Now, i remember reading about these lizards in arcana animalis, what did it say about how tough they are? guessing HD, if that's the kind of question i'm allowed?
Meanwhile he sends another acid splash at the beastie. i imagined the adventuring life being more varied... i must find some more spells to cast!
Morrin hurls a stone at the wall, causing it to clatter about the chamber.
@ Morrin- You won't have a problem finding anything under 15 feet in the whole tower. There is rubble material laying all throughout.
@ Eve- Nothing for weaknesses on these guys so I will give you the rest of info on them as they really only got one special deal.
Eveladane knows that Shocker lizards are immune to electricity damage. He knows that a Shocker lizard can shock an individual in close proximity knocking them unconscious. Additionally if two or more shocker lizards are within 20 feet f each other, they can work together to create a lethal shock every couple of seconds that blasts out and electrocutes everything within 20 feet.
Eveladane hurls another dart of acid at the creature but ends up throwing it in the water. The water begins to bubble and hiss as if something is below the surface.
Kel Na'Yaa darts his sword once again at the shocker lizard, though it's pointy blade bounces off of the creature's thick scales.
Kel cleans his blade off, slides it into its scabbard, and starts searching the room.
More annoying than the dogs, but most definitely not as lethal as those wretched skeletons. Now let's see what this room has...
Kel lets his voice trail off as he looks around
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Fantastic, a live sighting of a shocker lizard . It's a bit of a shame we didn't see a pair, they're meant to be much more interesting when they start bouncing off each other you know!
Dandy gets jolted by the creature before it gets defeated. The dapper man sighs. "I do apologize for my sullen state. I am quite disappointed in my performance so far."
He'll then help the others scout the place, hoping his keen eyes will make up for his poor skill at arms.
Kel takes point at the southernmost door, listening at it and giving everyone else time to get ready before opening it.
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Kel opens the door and proceeds inwards to look around. The octangonal room is covered in a fine layer of dust. It's clearly been abandoned for a long time. He sees faint reptilian tracks in the dust leading to the room he just came from. As if you already didn't know
The second Kel steps into the room Dandy and Morrin grab him by his shoulder. It seems he was about to step onto a pressure plate that they point out. Looking across the room it looks as if he would have been impaled by a deadly javelin!
A-ha, this is an ideal situation for a theurumatic consciousness projection incantation. Hmm, drat already done that for today...
Other options, one of our company steps on the plate and then Febida heals them... Appealing prospect?
Or, we go next door, drag one of the bodies back here and one of you strong types throws it on the pressure plate! Sounds like the best idea to me... What do you all think?

Morrin whistles a bit and walks to one of the dead troglodytes, picks up a leg, and starts to drag the body back the the group. As soon as he gets to the doorway, the man lifts the carcass, and throws it on to the trap.
Morrin tosses the dead Troglodyte onto the pressure plate. A click is heard as a long javelin arcs towards the plate. The javelin impales the corpse. If it wasn't dead before it definitely is now.
Looking about the room the group finds nothing but a thick layer of dust and allergies.
Kel again takes point, heading back to the stairs and beginning his descent, quietly and as sneakily as possible. When he is at the next floor, he peers around the door/entranceway warily, his blade drawn.
Stealth:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
I most definitely meant ascent... yep... *nods head furiously*
Kel assists Dandy in tossing the rope up to the fourth floor once he realizes that the only way left to go is up. Once done, he starts the climb.
Climb:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
