Giant Spider Lokilia continues to head further on down, keeping an eye out for enemy creatures as they approach the Dwendalians. If she sees in any the path, she would try to catch them by surprise if possible.

This level shows signs of heavy fighting, there are charred corpses everywhere, its hard to tell but most seem to be the strange shapeshifters....though others still wear human forms...
There is a recessed room on this level with a large desk running across it and a bank of crystalline elements fronted by large display screens backing the desk,.
There is a utilities cupboard to the right of the desk that seems to have something sticking out of it, barely visible in the darkness.
Some levels below, it is hard to tell exactly, can be heard voices and the sound of spells.....
Normont takes a coin and uses his magical tinkering to make it glow before throwing it towards the utilities cupboard, so he can get a better look at what is sticking out.
"Hold on you two", he says to the others. "We might find something useful".
If once illuminated it doesn't look dangerous, he will move forward to investigate further..

Dev’s eyelids had fluttered shut while his head dropped to the floor, but when Ubo administers his healing draught, the tiefling’s eyes flash open, the pain dispelled. But then, "Look out!," he shouts, to no avail, and when Ubo suffers a rending blow from the shape-shifter, Dev winces with concern at Ubo and with guarded pity at the creature that struck him, which lives, it seems, for nothing but violence and can never know the joy of a kind word. The pan pipes rise to his mouth, a melody begins, and words thread out of the bard’s mouth, floating weightlessly to the shape-shifter and relieving it, for at least a moment, of its blind aggression.
“I thought I was done for. Thank you Mr Ubo!,” Dev says, gratefully accepting the man’s help getting to his feet, then quietly rushing with him away from the dormant attacker and up the next staircase.
When Dev replies Ubo's face screws up in confusion for a moment, then he sighs deeply, shakes his head and follows Dev.....
The next level smells of ozone, cooked meat and worse things.....it appears to be empty....on the scaffolding above Dev and Ubo they can see the two Dwendalians in combat with four or five people dressed in a combination of robes and military uniforms......
Dev is waiting for the combat to end, but if the Dwendallians seem to be losing, he will take action. His calming music continues as a minor illusion centered 30’ ahead of him.

Giant Spider Lokilia holds, waiting to see what Normont might find. She keeps an eye out for any of the creatures moving in on their location. (Perception: 14)

The object projecting from the cupboard seems to be a human arm.......a rather skeletal one....

Nothing has moved on to this level in the last few moments....there is something moving on the level below though it doesn't seem to have noticed Normonts light.
Her ' spider-sense' tells her there is something moving near the railing next to the shaft...but she can't see anything there.
Normont will go and take a closer look at the skeletal arm, seeing if it is attached to a skeletal body.
(OOC: Not sure if you want another roll of any kind).
Normont inspected the limb and noted in the light it was attached to a body within the cupboard, as he inspected it he noted despite the somewhat mummified state of it that he recognised the body within.....he had seen her face on the screen above mere minutes ago....
Behind the body there was a large leather sack containing a number of items....
As Normont moves to investigate, Giant Spider Lokilia backs up towards that direction, but keeps an eye out towards the railing where she senses something moving. Figuring it could be one of the creatures somehow obscured, she braces for an attack while hopefully giving Normont time to investigate.

Lokilia doesn't sense any more movement but still.....there is something......
Normont places the sack on the ground and holds his light close to it as he carefully opens it and starts to go through the items inside.
"Found a bag. Might be something useful in here, or some more information", he says to those behind him.
The bag seems to contain an assortment of different coloured gems and crystals....and a smooth black rod with a T-shaped handle on one end and a crystalline sliver on the other...
Dev is waiting for the combat to end, but if the Dwendallians seem to be losing, he will take action. His calming music continues as a minor illusion centered 30’ ahead of him.
The armoured man above tucks away his wand and lays into the enemy as the woman sends silent blasts of silvery energy into the approaching "humans", blood and other substances rain down over Dev and Ubo through the gratings as they shelter below. The armoured man takes a solid blow from one of the enemy but merely grunts in response, the woman throws up a scintillating shield to block claws aimed at her.......
"Hm, I wonder if these could be part of some controls. They certainly don't seem like the sort of things she would have brought with her", Normont posits.
He has a quick look around after transferring them all to his backpack, to see if they might fit anywhere in the room he is in. If he doesn't find anything, he waves Spider-Lokilia and Quinn onwards ahead of him.

With Normont's apparent signal to continue, Giant Spider Lokilia continues on, making her way towards the levels below, and hopefully to eventually find Dev. She still tries to be wary of the something she sensed, trying not to move directly for the place as much as possible.
Amber returns to Normont as the trio continues their descent......
Normont welcomes Amber back, seeing her panic and training his pistol on the area behind her in case she was followed.
"They can fly?", he says in gnomish with a concerned tone, Amber nodding her he'd in response.
"It seems there are flying creatures now", he then says to Quinn and Spider-Lokilia in common as he continues to follow right behind them.

His pistol back in his hand and ready to fire, Normont follows along, Amber fluttering above them staying close for now.
Dev continues to hold in place but finds a hiding spot for himself and Ubo until the battle upstairs is over. (Stealth w advantage: 17)
