Chima does not detect any magical auras (aside from the party if any).
Daniloth's knowledge of dungeoneering (not entirely sure if it applies here I think you'd need engineering..but giving you something anyways) gives him the information that earthquakes seem to damage towers. The tower seems stable enough for now, but any further strain might cause more damage.

Even as Daniloth scans the inside of the tower he notices nothing that points towards danger...there for he's extra surprised when a large spider hanging from the ceiling shoots a web at him.
The spider is hanging from the ceiling (5ft high) and the entire area is filled with rubble (making it difficult terrain)
Luckily the web just lands at Daniloth's feet without entangling him.
The spiders immediately tries again before anyone can react
This time it comes close...but still isn't able to envelop him enough to be any sort of hindrance..the spiders then skitters through the web closer to you (but still 15ft high)

If so Eat this, you eight legged basterd.

A surprising idea pops into Fronar's head. He grabs a flask of acid from his pack and throws it at the webs just above the spider. Hoping the acid will burn through the webs and cause the spider to drop to the floor. (perhaps some falling damage, AoO from nearby allies at the spot of the fall, acid damage from splash, and/or cause Vohnkar's readied action to go off)
A splash weapon is a ranged weapon that breaks on impact, splashing or scattering its contents over its target and nearby creatures or objects. To attack with a splash weapon, make a ranged touch attack against the target. Thrown splash weapons require no weapon proficiency, so you don't take the –4 nonproficiency penalty. A hit deals direct hit damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the target. If the target is Large or larger, you choose one of its squares and the splash damage affects creatures within 5 feet of that square. Splash weapons cannot deal precision-based damage (such as sneak attack).
You can instead target a specific grid intersection. Treat this as a ranged attack against AC 5. However, if you target a grid intersection, creatures in all adjacent squares are dealt the splash damage, and the direct hit damage is not dealt to any creature. You can't target a grid intersection occupied by a creature, such as a Large or larger creature; in this case, you're aiming at the creature.
If you miss the target (whether aiming at a creature or a grid intersection), roll 1d8. This determines the misdirection of the throw, with 1 falling short (off-target in a straight line toward the thrower), and 2 through 8 rotating around the target creature or grid intersection in a clockwise direction. Then, count a number of squares in the indicated direction equal to the range increment of the throw. After you determine where the weapon landed, it deals splash damage to all creatures in that square and in all adjacent squares.
(-2 for extra range increment, spider is 15' up)
+1 splash (acid)

Seijiro changes weapons to a bow.
Vonkar get's ready in case the spider comes close enough to stab
While Markas does the same at Vonkar's side
Moshi wants to fire his bow
Fronar has an idea thinks about throwing a flask of acid at the spider.

Daniloth fires an arrow in the general direction of the spider above him but it stops short when it hits some strands of web before it gets close enough to hit the spider (doesn't hit AC) before he prepares for more close combat fighting by drawing a sword.
Fronar begins to dance around and his little battle dance inspires you all to do better, while he draws out a bottle at the same time.

Chima fires his crossbow at the spider but fails to hit it when his crossbow bolt get's tangled up in the webs hanging from the ceiling (doesn't hit AC).
The spider skitters across the ceiling towards one of the walls and then makes his way down, ending up besides Daniloth (but outside the reach of Vonkar and Markas readied attacks) where it tries to sink it's fangs into soft chewy meat
and manages to do so
and a DC 14 fort save vs poison, if you fail you are poisoned and you need to make another save at the start of your turn, if you fail another DC 14 fort save vs poison you will take strength damage at the start of each of your next 4 turns or until you make a succesful save.

I move to the right of Daniloth and shoot at the spider.
Looking at Daniloth.
"Did it bite you?"
|
|
Danlioth slams against the wall as he pulls away from the spider's bite. Looking down, he can see that the spider took a small chunk of flesh out of his side. Aghast, but angered, Daniloth holds his blade high and crashes it down upon the spider's head.
"I am fine," Daniloth calls to his companions, "but he definitely bit me. Do not worry! Let us press the attack."
|
Vahnkar bends down and picks up the two dogs again. He then moves into the room with the rest of the party. Moving over to Daniloth, he looks down at the spider and then back at the ranger,
I will not carry another one of you pets.
He the lays the two dogs down next to the arachnid. Standing back up he vigorously brushes himself off.
Your dogs have fleas.

"In our current positions we have no way to attack the creature without our bows. Move aside so I may get closer"
Markas motions to 'Jiro and Mosi to make room for him to get closer to the spider.
"Vohnkar, come to my side. We need to stop this beast from getting any closer to our less armored allies."

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect Up to four lights, all within a 10-ft.-radius area
Duration 1 minute (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
Depending on the version selected, you create up to four lights that resemble lanterns or torches (and cast that amount of light), or up to four glowing spheres of light (which look like will-o'-wisps), or one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape. The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required): forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, or the like. The lights can move up to 100 feet per round. A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range.
You can only have one dancing lights spell active at any one time. If you cast this spell while another casting is still in effect, the previous casting is dispelled. If you make this spell permanent, it does not count against this limit.
Dancing lights can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
"Incertus, Pulcher, Imperio"
Fronar points and exclaims, "Friends! Use my light, to focus your fight!" Fronar's graceful movements continue to spring forth a well of inspiration among all the members of the party.

The combined attacks of Mosi and Daniloth are enough to bring the spider to the ground,...permanently.
As you look around now that you are not under attack and have some time to concentrate you notice; A small cocoon hangs in the webs, holding the remains of an unfortunate dog that fell into the spider’s clutches. The desiccated carcass is still wearing its leather collar, which is studded with lapis lazuli stones and has a silver tag reading “Kita.”
|
|
Daniloth sheaths his sword before retrieving his bow and slinging it over his shoulder. He looks up and finds the dog's carcass spun in a web of sticky silk.
It is wrong to loot the dead, though I believe that collar is worth something more than just its sentiment.
Daniloth starts to cut down the carcass.
"This animal deserves a burial, but I know we have not the time. We should continue as quickly as possible, but, first, let us take a look at Kita's collar."

Loot works weird in PFS. At the end of the adventure all the loot is turned in and you will recieve a certain gp total on your chronicle. I guess this represents the loot sold for 1/2 price and then divided by 4 or some number. Basically, what it boils down to is you don't get to keep anything, we all get the same about of GP, and if you want something from the adventure you have to buy it back at full price.
Some things to keep in mind as far as treasure goes:
1. You can use items, like potions and wands, that you fine in the scenario and you do not have to pay for it later. Actually you still get the gold as if you had sold it too so its almost always better to use consumables you find during an adventure.
2. Talking your way out of fight is good. You still get the treasure as if you defeated the enemy and you don't need to waist any resources.
3. If there is time go back through areas and look for treasure after the final fight is over. technically if you don't find it the GM shouldn't give it to you (though most do just cause if easier and their is usually a time constraint.
Hope this helps.
Yes, when we are done you can see to your dogs.
Though it is hard to tell due to Vohnkar's monotone voice, it appears that the man is not upset about the delay, but is in fact confused and curious.

(Just to speed things along a bit)
When you venture into the tower’s west wing you find it mostly choked with rubble, but a door in the eastern wall is still accessible. The door leads to a stone spiral staircase that runs through the center of the tower. Unfortunately, the stairway is also blocked with fallen rubble and it would take more time and skill then you currently have to excavate it properly. If you wish to explore the tower’s upper levels, they will have to go back outside and attempt to climb the tower’s exterior walls.

Vohnkar moves slowly through the rubble of the west and south wings, poking around with the but of his spear. Making his way back out side he retrieves a coil of rope with an attached grappling hook from his bag. Studding the edifice of the tower he looks for a good place to attempt the climb. Finding a likely spot he tosses up the grappling hook.
"How hard can it be."
Mosi grabs the rope and wants to start climbing when he looks up and thinks to himself "How much weight can this rope handle". He waits until a few of his companions are safe and then starts to climb up himself.
|
|
Vohnkar,Seijiro, Fronar and Daniloth make it up easily. Chima takes a bit more time but also makes it there. Mosi waits for others to reach the next floor before following them up.
You end up in the crumbling remains of a room that now serves as an open landing for doors in the northwest and southwest walls. as you look up you notice that the crack in the side of the tower allows you to climb up further if you'd want to try to do that. But the next floor is covered in darkness and you faintly smell bat guano.
