Pushing past the webs the group enters a larger room, the walls were once patterned with Vermilion paint and gold gilding but the pattern is now crumbled and decaying. However in the middle of the room sits a pristine well, its tiles shining as if they'd just been polished. A mournful cry fills the room seeming to originate from the well.
While the rest of the party focuses on the well, Keolin keeps his waraxe ready, waiting for anything that might enter the room from any of the other exits.

How are we doing folks? Is someone gonna take over this from Kip - I may have an idea about bringing in another GM to run the last encounter with the well(I've played this about 3 times now).
Hekra starts casting detect magic, as Toshizo rushes forward to the well, the mournful cry becomes more of a shriek as Toshizo and Galia approach. Toshizo looks down the well and sees bones about 20' down in the empty well. As he looks down, there is a crackling flash of energy that ripples through the empty well.
The noise has all the Pathfinders on edge as an urge fills Toshizo's mind. Toshizo pauses for a moment lifting his hand to his head, shaking it as he takes a step back from the well.
Keolin, looking visibly disturbed by the energy coming from the well, holds his axe at the ready in one hand and drops a flask of alchemist's fire into the well with the other.
Thrown attack- not sure how throwing it into the well would modify it- seems like it would be hard to miss with a splash weapon in such a confined space1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 1
As you look upon the crackling energy cloud to throw the alchemist's fire, you feel an overwhelming compulsion to jump into the well.
Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Overwhelmed by a sense of impending doom, trapped under ground you decide it would be better to end your life rather than wait to starve to death or suffocate!
20' Fall: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
Keolin prepares to toss a flask of alchemist's fire into the well, but instead his face relaxes into a strange mask of dread and fear. He walks to the edge of the well and falls in!
Hekra - you do not have any arcane knowledge of this, but you can surmise from Toshizo's actions and it's reaction to the positive energy that it's likely some form of undead.
Keolin hits his head on the side of the well as he falls, going unconscious.
Keolin is now at -6 Stabilize:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 If my math is right, I think I have stabilized... now just waiting for a nice coup de grace from the nearby undead...
Galia - there isn't really a good place to anchor the rope except maybe on the door to the west which is 20' away and should still give you enough length to reach the bottom of the well.
Keolin - you hit the magic number (10+6) DC 16 Stabilize check.

I'm going to assume someone tells me it's undead. Not sure how close I am to the well, but I apparently need to be adjacent to pour it.
"What the—" Azeban looks around to see how can assist. "What can I do?"
Upon learning that it's undead, Azeban takes out a flask of holy water from his belt pouch and carefully moves towards the well, ready to pour its contents inside.
Azeban as you ready the holy water, you feel a dread wash over you and hear whispers in your ears that urge you to jump into the well!
Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Overwhelmed by a sense of impending doom, trapped under ground you decide it would be better to end your life rather than wait to starve to death or suffocate!
20' Fall: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Azeban move toward the well to cleanse it with holy water, but instead seems to stutter awkwardly and follows Keolin's lead and jump into the well!
@Hekra - there is nothing really for you to attack at this point. You may try something different for Round 1 if you'd like.
Round 2:
Toshizo
Keolin - unconscious/stable
Galia
Hekra
Well Phantom
Azeban

Oh, hi Keolin. Lovely view down here.... At least this way I can stuff the remaining potion of Cure Light Wounds I have on me down your throat, if I can still act.
Azeban tumbles into the well, landing awkwardly beside Keolin as he takes severe injury from the fall.
Hekra's target is the well when he swings, he thinks maybe destroying the well would be helpful. He is out to destroy the structure of it, hoping to avoid hurting anyone inside.
[ HP 23/23 | AC 13/12/11 (MA:16/12/14), CMD 13, Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +4 | Init +2; Perception +6 ]
Oh, it's my turn? Hoping I still have the bottle, otherwise I'm stuck waiting here, poking at Keolin.
Azeban moves Keolin's head so he doesn't choke on his vomit. Seeing nothing else he can do, he pours his bottle of holy water into the ground of the well.
After checking on Keolin, Azeban pours a flask of holy water which seems to react with the crazy energy mass! There is more wailing and moaning and the crackle of energy vanishes from the well!
Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Out of Combat!
Now that the energy is gone, you see the skeletal remains of a humanoid crumpled in the bottom of the well. A rope descends from the top of the well as Galia and the others call down with offers of help. Azeban manages to secure Keolin to the rope and the Pathfinders are able to pull him up. Azeban may follow up the rope when ready.
When everyone is ready/recovered we can move on to room 13.
[ HP 23/23 | AC 13/12/11 (MA:16/12/14), CMD 13, Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +4 | Init +2; Perception +6 ]
Phew. That thing was nasty.
Azeban covers his ears when he hears it work and when it finishes, he breathes a sigh of relief before working on getting Keolin out of the well.
Once Keolin is out, he begins taking a closer look at the well, yelling at the others to wait as they take care of Keolin. Once satisfied if there's nothing else, he performs Detect Magic on the well and the remains to continue his investigation.
[ HP 23/23 | AC 13/12/11 (MA:16/12/14), CMD 13, Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +4 | Init +2; Perception +6 ]
Azeban (respectfully) prods the remains one last time before letting the others haul him out of the well. He's clearly still injured and gingerly wipes off some blood from his face. "Do we have anything for Keolin? The potion I gave him wasn't enough."
Keolin's eyes come alive. He coughs up a bit of blood and spits it on the floor, and then says, "Well, that's an interesting surprise. Didn't expect to survive that. I think I'd like to rest up here for a bit if you don't mind." He then sits up and props himself up against the wall.

After coiling up her rope, Galia takes one long nasty look at the well, glances at Keolin, and stands by the door, waiting to head on to the next room.
Moving on to Room 13 (Map)...There is editing allowed on the document so you can move your token around the map.
This large room is an aged gallery. Its once-decorated walls
have been stripped of the original mosaics and its decorations
replaced with Draconic graffiti, crudely etched into the walls.
Other than the scrawl on the walls, the chamber is noticeably
cleaner and less dusty than the dungeon’s other rooms.
As you enter the room, there are 4 kobolds here involved in some kind of discussion. The stop and the 3 closest to you ready their spears in a defensive position while the 4th, a female, readys a sling. She says something in a harsh, raspy tongue.
Keolin hangs back, not terribly anxious to be the first in the line of fire this time. He readies a throwing axe and will throw it at the female if the female fires her sling at anyone.
