"There's something still moving down here." replies Fiselius with a grim gulp. "That way." he says pointing to the other door from the mosaic hall. "And I have a sneaking suspicion that hell spider wasn't always so firey, but that's a matter which I believe will have to wait for now."

Izore nods. "Let's go check out the other room then."

Since it doesn't seem there is anything else in the laboratory room, the half-elf is ready to head out to the room with the well. Once inside, she is eager to get nosy and curious again, looking around for anything interesting.

"Alright" Says Emmaline, longsword at the ready. "Let's go find out what this thing is then, shall we?" The paladin eagerly but cautiously leads the way towards the room indicated by Fiselius.

The Paladin leads the way out of the laboratory and back into the hall, heading through the doorway to the unexplored room. In the center of it stands the large stone well, topped with a wooden handle and the rotten remnants of a heavily frayed rope that descends into the darkness below. In the far right corner of the room, the ceiling has collapsed similarly to the hallway outside of the cellar basement — and between the rubble a narrow shaft of weak sunlight shines through a small hole above. In the far left corner of the room, the flickering light of the adventurers' torches reveal a wooden table, covered with dirt and dust and topped with old plates, buckets, and kitchenware.

Should Fiselius still be concentrating on his Detect Magic spell, he can see that the aura reveals something affected by magic down within the well.

[[Gonna concentrate on Detect Magic for the full duration.]]

"There's something in the well." says Fiselius as he approaches it cautiously. "Hopefully no more spiders here."

Perception: 4
Arcana: 10+3 = 13

Vonbek walking, up to the well, beside Fiselius, peers down the well to see if his dark vision helps spot anything nefarious down the hole.  "What do you think, should I try the handle and see if something is attached to this old rope?"

Perception check: 15+3 = 18

Emmaline nods, readying her weapon in case Vonbek pulls up something nasty. "Might as well." She says, so focused on readying her weapon that she's entierely oblivious to the pun she just made. "I get the sense that there's danger around any corner anyway. At least this way we can ready ourselves." She looks to the others with a look that suggests she's not entirely sure if she believes what she just said. "Right?"

Izore follows the rest of the group to the second room, curious to see what secrets are hidden there. She lets out a soft chuckle at Emmaline's joke, but seeing the paladin grip her weapon makes her smile freeze, and the teenager follows the example, by getting one of her shortswords ready. 

"Maybe just a dead rat, " the half-elf says quietly, her nose wrinkling as she tries to smell the air, in case it betrays the stench of a decaying body deep down in the well. 

"Unless rats are magical, I doubt it's one of those." says Fiselius with hesitation in his voice. Seeing Izore draw one of her shortswords he adds, "Good idea." and draws his dagger.
