“Well, if there’s nothing else to be done down here, let’s just grab what we can and get back to the tavern keeper,” Graw says. He heads back into the storeroom to see if there’s anything left behind (and grabs the potions that are in there), and will start to head out unless someone says something.
Varja nods along, "Good idea, not to mention we're really under gear and level for this. I mean, at first, the pack of giant rats we could deal with due to the advantage in area structures to prevent all of them from coming at us all at once. However, we're not just dealing with rats anymore." He slowly makes his way out of this place. "So, who wants to be the one to scream at the tavern's boss? Or at least get the guy to give us more rewards for risking our lives. Yatari and I nearly died here."
BEFORE we leave the well area, Xa will fly up to the hole in the ceiling that is letting faint light in. He will cautiously peer into the hole and see if he can ascertain just where this hole is located outside... or inside another building.

Once Xa has had a look see, he will flit down and join the party moving back toward where this all began... reporting what he saw to Yatari and company.
“We found an old wizard’s lab, though it’s been abandoned for years now. And a fresh water well, if you can clean out the dirt and dead rat at the bottom of it. However, we ran into a lot of trouble whole we were down there,” Graw says as he comes up the steps behind everyone. “Much more than we were expecting. A group of huge centipedes ambushed us, though luckily there were three of them, as well as a giant inferno spider. Good thing we got down there when we did, or you might have had even more trouble than just the rats. Two of our members almost died down there. Perhaps we could be compensated more for these extra dangers that we faced and got rid of.”
"If you can't give us gold, then got any gears? Something with a bit more destruction?" Varja rubbed his arm where he was bitten. He didn't like it one bit.
"If I remember correctly, there was some mention of room and board for a few days if we completed the job?
Perhaps we can double as guards or bouncers while you fix up the tavern and patch that wall - or - turn the passage and extra space into more storage and another fresh water source?
Old Yatari here is handy in a fight and can throw drunks with each arm. And I bet Cecily might be handy in a pinch.
As for Varja, he might cook up something magical to help while I bet you won't find a better singer than Grawdor. He will keep customers happy and ordering more drinks all evening long!
... and I can flit back into that extra space if you plan to use it. I have a few flames left in case anything else decides to show up between now and the grand opening."
He starts pouring beers for each of you as he talks, motioning for you all to come sit down.
To Graw - “I see, sounds like the wizard had some more rooms below, with beastly guards as well!” He seems excited by the fact now that the danger is over. “Of course I could probably round up an extra few gold for the unexpected variables, 200gp will probably do it.” (You can divide the 200 up evenly or just have one person take it and act as quartermaster.)
To Xa - “Yes of course, you can all stay here, I’d love to show off the heroes saved this business from certain doom. I could use Graw and his band to tell the story each night, the rest of you could just stand around looking tough. It could be a real spectacle!”
To Yatari - “We couldn’t possibly patch up the wall, we still need that space to expand the cellar. I’m sure it’ll serve perfectly as such.”
To Varja - “I’m not sure I know what you mean friend but if you’re looking for new gear then you’d best head to Brym, it’s the largest town around here and I hear has a few nice goods sellers.”
“Now tonight, you all drink free, for tomorrow will be the grand reopening of Glowkindle’s! The beer now fueled by magical wizardry and protected by heroic adventurers!”
If you wanted to, you could all partake in Glowkindle’s delicious drinks long into the night.
Additinally, you all level up to level 2.

Graw laughs from the storeroom. “Don’t worry Cecily, leave that to me. Persuasion is, let’s say, one of my specialties.”

Once Xa has had a look see, he will flit down and join the party moving back toward where this all began... reporting what he saw to Yatari and company.
Xa - You can’t quite work out where the light is coming from above, but you’re certain no one noticed you as you checked.
Graw - As you grab the bottles you see that they are clearly labelled: 2 Potions of Healing, a Potion of Vitality, and a Potion of Invisibility.
As you all come up out of the cellar, Glowkindle is waiting for you. “Well? Is it done? Can I open up shop again?”
"Well... I would say patch up the wall before opening but yeah I gues you could." Yatari said as she raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck.
“We found an old wizard’s lab, though it’s been abandoned for years now. And a fresh water well, if you can clean out the dirt and dead rat at the bottom of it. However, we ran into a lot of trouble whole we were down there,” Graw says as he comes up the steps behind everyone. “Much more than we were expecting.

Xa looks at Glowkindle expectantly.
