Vailis tries to grasp to the edges in order to reach the other side "Perhaps I should have accepted that alchemist beverage they were saying to confer the devil wings"
Vailis makes his way across to the orc corpses but finds little of import on them. Opening the door leads back into another stairwell down to the floor below.
Jorgen says "Getting down is always easier than going back up!" The bard casts a spell, then with a smile turns around and lets himself fall backwards into the pit.
Jorgen will cast feather fall on himself and anyone else that wants it (he can effect up to 8 people), then jumps down the slope. We should all be able to gently float down to the bottom.
Kyra unfortunately slips on the steep incline of the floorboards, sliding right off into open space! Thankfully, Jorgen is right on top of things with a feather fall spell, allowing the cleric to float gently down to the ground beside the crater.
The one well-appointed room contains a rug, bed, chest, table, and chair. The chest has been opened and ransacked and the rest of the room is a shambles. The next contains several bunk beds and chests. The chests are all open and empty and the bunks have been tossed. A set of stairs in the southwest corner leads down

Adeah accepts Jorgen's spell and jumps down the pit. Mid-fall she spreads her wings just slightly and closes her eyes, allowing herself a moment of fantasy. So this is what it would feel like if these things worked.
"I guess we are going down that pit!" Vailis takes the feather fall if that is still an option, or otherwise walks down through the stairs with Ingrge.
Ingrge passes the previously explored room and follows the stairs down to the first floor. He finds empty weapon racks and shelves bare of armor exhibiting evidence of the orc’s thievery. Several broken bits of armor and weapons as well as a dozen or so broken crates litter the floor. There is nothing of value here.
"Ok, let's have this done. Follow me" Vailis casts feather fall both on Ingrge and on himself to placidly descend into the crater along with Jorgen and Kyra. Coco descends flapping his dream-fey-like small wings.
Sorry about that, things got away from me. I also misread the depth of the pit, so no problems getting down.
This 50-foot-by-55-foot cavern stands fifteen feet tall, littered with stalagmites and stalactites, that make the entire room very difficult to traverse. The only light comes from the hole above.
A large rock, about 7-1/2 feet in diameter, rests against the north wall of the cavern, evidence clearly indicating that it punched the hole in the ceiling above. The rock itself is black as night but from it stretch hideous, bulbous vines one to two feet in circumference that stretch all about the cavern, grow up out of the hole above, and wind down into the other cavern below.
"Why I always end having to fight overgrown monsters on our diplomatic missions? You told me we would study old artifacts and ancient magic when you bound to me Master" Coco protests while he quickly flies surrounding the plant to give others a flank.

Sorry, I didn't see the new post notice for this in my profile...will post my Fort save and await to see the result before posting my action (if I still get one).
Ingrge shakes out the spots from his vision and lands a solid shot. The arrow finds the flowers tough skin hard to pierce however!

Not sure whether this would be Knowledge (arcana) or (nature), but my bonus is the same for both of those. Knowledge (flower):1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Adeah recognizes a moonflower, an alien plant not native to Golarion. They are normally short lived, reproducing by snaring a victim in pod prisons that consume the unfortunate creature and spawn a new moonflower with traces of the original creature in its features. As the flash of light clears, the caricature of an orcish face can be seen on the main stalk of the flower. The bullet strikes true, but barely deals half of the damage to the spongy mass.
Jorgan sees the plant begin to glow and tries to shield his eyes from the blast of light. Unfortunately he is a little too slow and finds himself staring right at it when the light goes off.
Fort DC 20 (Coco):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Fort DC 20 (Vailis):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Coco resists the spores but Vailis starts to cry, his eyes full and scratchy "I can't see! What is going on?"
"Can some of you help my weepy Master?" Coco says while trying to render the plant down with his claws.
claw 1:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 Slathing/Bludgeoning damage:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
"Approach you all, I cannot see, I will need to touch you to give you my magic" producing a licorice root from his pouch Vailis casts haste, as he cannot see, he needs to touch the targets in order to deliver the spell. He quickly finds Adeah, Jorgen and Kyra next to him and delivers the spell on them in addition to himself if they give him their hand.
If Ingrge calls him, Vailis uses his movement to move at half speed because blinded to reach the archer and touch her too.
Haste benefits: +1 to hit, +1 AC, +1 Reflex, +30' movement and extra attack when full attacking
Previous was a surprise round where only Coco and Ingrge succeeded on the Perception rolls. Now we are beginning round 1, that's why Jorgen and Kyra cannot act yet ;)
"Well, let's hope it eats Coco then. It will find it pretty indigestive" Vailis comments back to the female elf.
Coco finds it much easier to begin shredding the strange plant with quick swipes of claws. The moonflower twists about, flailing tendrils and a large maw at the eidolon. Coco is nimble enough to avoid the snapping trap, but runs into a bludgeoning tentacle!
Jorgen does not let a little loss of vision deter him and begins to loudly perform. "Do not lose your courage! We have all fought in the dark before and we do not get deterred by such things! Remember the stories we have heard and the stories we will live to tell! I'm sure you all remember hearing the tale of how Kreighton Shane solved a Thassilonian cypher puzzle while inside the belly of a purple worm. Do you think he could see? No, he couldn't! But we know that didn't stop him, did it?"
Jorgen then casts a mirror image on himself before taking a lurching step towards the sound of battle.
Mirror Image:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Inspire Courage grants a +2 to attack, damage and a +2 morale bonus vs. fear.
Unfortunately, Kyra misjudges the moonflower's reach as she casts her spell, the massive maw snatching her up with preternatural speed! Adeah's bullets find their mark easily, but fail to free the cleric from the deadly embrace.
"Amen my friend! We pierce the darkness with our deeds! And we will sit afterwards to laugh at them with a cup of wine in our hands!" apparently recovering his sight as the spores start to fall, Vailis steps back and casts grease on Kyra trying to help her out of the plant's embrace.
Concentration (Cast defensively) DC 17:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 Kyra gets a +10 to any attempt to escape the grapple and the CMD to maintain the grapple on her increases by 10
