Merisiel flanks the toad.

rapier (flanking): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Sneak damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

As your blows fall, the frog is looking badly hurt. Frog -12 HP

Raz, you can adjust things a little or ignore a minor impediment or two to your charge; if we were playing in person, you would be able to coax everyone through avoiding blocking you, or else ask them to delay for you.

"CHAARGE!" Raz spurs on Zora, flying into battle.
charging lance: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (6) + 2 = 15

Ghik move and launches an icicle at the frog

ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8
cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Unless you have a feat (precise strike) you will get a penalty of -4 for firing into a combat with additional penalties for cover if your allies get in the way. Fortunately the icicle attack only has to tag the target not get past its armour too

No more froggie, as Raz's lance impales it.

You investigate the room, finding nothing. Then Merisiel checks the door on the other side of the room for traps, finding nothing. You open the door to find an empty chamber that is missing some of its outer walls. It does not have a second door, so you go back around to the door in the chamber where the smarter trog was.

Merisiel checks the door and carefully opens it. Inside, you find a human male, manacled and clearly hungry and beaten.

"....Balenar...is that you?" Merisiel asks. "Venture Captain Adril Hestram has sent us for you" she tells him.

The captive seems too weak to speak, but you do see a hopefull light start in his eyes. He manages to nod.

"Can anyone tell what's wrong with him? We need to try to get him outta here."

"Let me see" Ghik examines him heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

"Could probably do with some proper food and drink and being
somewhere that doesn't stink of Trogs"

Ghik, you also know that he is hurt from the beatings, i.e. missing most of his hit points.

In that case casts cure light wounds on him hp restored: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The man moves, his manacles clacking as he does so. His mind also appears to clear.

"Feeling any better Balenar? Can you tell us what happened here?" inquires Merisiel

"I was looking around, and then the trogs grabbed me, and I thought I would never get away!"

"Well, lets get you out of here before any other trogs show up. Meri, can you get those manacles off him?"

sigh... I forgot to tell you that you found a key on the last trog you defeated...

No problem!

"Oh, me? I forgot I picked up this key earlier. I suppose I could give it a try"

Merisiel finds that the key does indeed open the prisoner's manacles.

"Balenar, are you able to walk? Or do you need me to support you?"

"I'm OK now. Thank you for the rescue. Did you see where the stupid trogs put my gear?"

Valeros points to Meri. "She's got it. What in Golarion made you decide to come out here on your own, anyway?"

Balenar gives Valeros a questioning look. "I'm tired of no one ever believing that I can do anything. My big brothers always saw me as the baby who needed watching over, and now the Venture Captains do, too. I wanted to prove them wrong."

"Here you go!". Merisiel gives Balenar the gear she had retrieved from the trogs. "And Venture Captains believe in you or you wouldn't be with the Pathfinder Society. They just have to safely test your limits to know what you can handle. "

Balenar dons his gear and stands up straighter at Merisiel's encouragement.

What now, guys?

"I guess the question now is, do we keep exploring this tower, or do we get out of here?" Valeros turns to Balenar. "What do you think? Did you find any hints of anything interesting before you were captured by that trog? Are you strong enough if we run into a fight?"

"I can't see us leaving until we've at least looked around a bit more. It wasn't easy to get up here..."

Balenar nods. "If you want to clean out those nasty trogs, I can make music to help you fight better."

"Well if you going to be part of the team" Ghik casts another cure spell (sacrificing ice armour)

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

He gets full pathfinder benefits even if he is an npc. I am not allowing pathfinders into fights on less than full hp until at least second level probably fifth

Balenar gives Ghik a warm smile of thanks.

Any prep before going to the last level?

No preparations for Raz, she's just itching to use her one Challenge for the day on something bigger than a single trog. LOL

I'm good

All good here too.
