I am going to end this game so that I can focus on my others one.
Good luck to all of you.

Godric swings at the creature but misses as does Raikdar with his bow. Kol-Relden waits to get a clean shot at the creature but Godric is blocking the shot. Lai waits in the shadows. The skeleton attacks Godric with fire and claw.
Godric avoids the attacks but the creature continues to press him.
As the skeletons raise off the alters and stand, Lai quickly dispatches one. The fires seems to die out and then it explodes sending bone fragments flying in all directs. Godric runs up to the other one in an attempt to quickly dispatch it. Godric feels the fire coming from the core of the creature as he begins his attack.
Two stone altars, one black and one white, sit at either end of this large chamber, which takes up two wings of the tower on this level. The crumbling remains of wooden benches sag in front of each altar beneath rotting ceiling tapestries. Carved symbols and writings snake along the walls. The burnt corpses of two troglodytes lie on the floor in the center of the room.
Knowledge Religion DC 11:
Fiery Aura (Ex): Creatures adjacent to a burning skeleton take 1d6 points of fire damage at the start of their turn. Anyone striking a burning skeleton with an unarmed strike or natural attack takes 1d6 points of fire damage. Fiery Death (Su): A burning skeleton explodes into a burst of flame when it dies. Anyone adjacent to the skeleton when it is destroyed takes 1d6 points of fire damage per 2 Hit Dice the skeleton possessed (minimum 1d6). A Reflex save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the skeleton's Hit Dice + the skeleton's Cha bonus) halves this damage.
You reach a landing with a door. The stairs continue up.
The room is empty except for a trap that is aimed at the door leading outside. You open the door to the stairwell and in the dim light you can see that there is a landing for the staircase that leads both up and down.
You hear nothing at the two doors leading from the room.
The rain is falling a little harder now.
A light rain begins to fall outside.
The battle is over and the victors remain to write the history. A search of the room reveals that it had at one time been an armory. Most of the weapons and armor have fallen to the ravages of time but a few are still in good shape. A silver dagger and a light steel shield are both of masterwork quality. The troglodyes only wealth was 10 silver pieces.
Kol-Relden stops to heal himself and check on Nippy. Meanwhile Mornar runs off into the distance never to be heard from again. Godric swings at the lizard but it is able to sidestep the blow. It then swings around and delivers another shock.
The troglodyte desperate to escape takes a swing at Kol-Relden then backs towards the door.
Mornar turns to flee the lizard. It shocks at Godric. Godric cuts the lizard but does not drop it.
Godrick Godrick save from last round
The troglodyte is able to twist to avoid both Kol-Relden and Nippy.
Kol-Relden blocks a mighty swing by the trog as it trys to move around him.
Pesky spirits zip past and through the lizard causing it to pause and refect on its choices in this battle.
Lai's shot goes wide of the mark
Mornar and Godric try to cower from the lizard attacking them. After shocking Mornar it decides to attack Godric and let him know it means business.
Kol-Relden slices open the belly of the beast and it collapse as its entrails spill out.
Lai's odd spirits snatch the bolt from his crossbow and cause him to misfire. The troglodytes scream as they swing clubs at their attackers.
Kol-Relden's attack shifts after missing
Nippy's attacker backs off after missing.
The arrow strikes true.
Godric and Mornar continue to enjoy the view from the ledge but hear commotion inside. The lizard see the open door and makes and makes an attempt to escape. It runs into Mornar and attempt to shock him.
Raikdar's arrow puncture the slimy flesh of one of the creature and it lets out a scream of pain.
They both launch javelins at the stunned Kol-Relden. Another pierces his armor
Knowledge Nature DC11: Troglodytes
Light from behind him shows racks for weapons and armor lining the walls. Above the racks hang various shields, pieces of armor, weapons, and standards. A horrible stench fills the room as well, akin to the smell of rotten eggs mixed with the reek of an open sewer.
Pain grips Kol-Relden as one of the javelins finds a hole in his armor. He watches as the creatures each reach for another javelin.
The shock lizard rises from his nest and hisses at the commotion. It looks ready to pounce.
As Godric and Lai watch from the safety of the ledge, Raikdar, Kol-Relden, and brave Nippy move towards the door to the east.
The creature snaps up the food and takes it back to its nest by the back wall.
Kol-Relden is up at this time as he stares at the creature.
Kol-Relden: You know that this is a Shocker Lizard. Look it up in the Bestiary pg 248. It is looking at you like it is waiting for you to do something. It might have a problem with Nippy.
The door opens easily. Judging from the shelves lining the walls, this darkened room might once have been a storeroom, though its contents have long since succumbed to the passage of time. A crack in the northern wall has apparently let in come rainwater, which has collected in a large puddle on the floor. As you enter the room you seem movement from across the room. A large lizard moves to the center of the room and stares at you.
There are two doors to choose from.
The door is impassable.
Searching the rest of the ground floor you find that there is indeed a central staircase but at this level it is filled with rubble that only allows the door to open a couple of inches.
Kol-Relden's thrust pierces the beast just as Raikdar's arrow crosses through it from the side. It falls to the ground dead.
The spider swings down and attempts to bite Kol-Relden
The ceiling is 15 feet high but the spider is hanging off of the webs that it has build so that drops it down a couple of feet. The body is about 3 feet round so that means the spider is only about 10-11 feet in the air. Sharp pointy objects should be able to reach it.
The group stumble over the rubble strewn terrain to get a better angle on the spider. Lai moves into the room and is able to get a shot off that pierces the body of the beast. It shots another web at Lai before retreating toward the arched doorway to the west.
