Vanizi simply waits, poised to jump in if anything goes wrong. Which fortunately doesn't seem to be the case. "All right! Looks like you got it Davis!"

Together, the group manages to lift the grate up and move it to one side! The loody fabric looks similar to the cloaks that you found in the first room - probably somebody was caught by the trap and the blades tore it off! The small gold harp is exquisitely made and worth about worth 2,500 gp! Finally, the papers detail plans to kidnap a Neverwinter aristocrat named Indrina Lamsensettle. The notes include a map of her estate, schedules of her movements, and suggestions that she knows an important secret about Lord Neverember. A scrawl in the margin of a note says: “Her secrets will make a worthy sacrifice.”
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Lamsensettle," Vanizi repeats as the papers are read. "Is that one of the people we are looking for?" she wonders aloud. "It is, right?" She sounds a little bit skeptical.
"In any case, it sounds pretty important to find her. We should probably just round up this stuff in case we need it and get moving."

"Yes" Davis says to Vanizi, "according to my notes with the Lord, she is a human actor who moves in Neverwinter’s highest social circles."
"Perhaps she is in the locked room next door. Can someone grab that harp, it looks to expensive to leave behind. It's a bit big for me to carry" the halfling says and smiles.
"Lets go check the other unlocked door. Celeste, can you try and unlock that padlock? So far you havent failed!" and again he smiles.
DC18 Sleight of Hand/Thieves' Tool check on padlocked door:
The lock pops open, and the stone door silently opens. A 20' passage leads to the north then opens into a 10'x15' chamber. This old crypt holds a single open coffin - you can see a few tattered blankets over something inside and a pouf of wild black hair sprouts from the end of one of the blankets. Map!

“Great job Davis!” Celeste chimes from the back. She’d nod along with the other’s discussion noting the missing person, as well as agree with taking the goodies along with them if they could. She’d offer to help lift it. As for storing and carrying it, she’d offer some rope to strap it up if no one had a bag of holding.
Celeste would ping to attention the moment she hears Davis say her name and ask for her to assist with her tools to unlock a padlock. She’d salute before trotting her way over to the front. “Yes! Let’s try!” She smiles, stretching her arms forward with her fingers intertwined to crack them. Then she pulls out her kit and takes a look at the lock. “Can you give me a hand and shine your light this way?” The druid asks for his help to attempt the task. And with that, she begins to hum the same melodic lullaby that helps guide her movements.

"Sorry I wasn't much help" he says to Celeste, "but maybe this will work" and he pulls a crowbar out of his backpack. "Perhaps you can offer me some guidance though?"

Celeste tries to pick the padlock but can't get the tumblers to align. Davis, however, uses the 'barbarian lockpick' and crowbars the lock and clasp right out of the stone door!!
The door opens silently on well-oiled hinges and reveals a 20' passage leading north, then opens into a 10'x15' chamber. This old crypt holds a single open coffin - you can see a few tattered blankets over something inside and a pouf of wild black hair sprouting from the end of one of the blankets. Map!
DC18 Perception:
You can just make out the steady rise and fall of the blanket, indicating whatever is under them is breathing...

Zyl happily flutters along with the others, applauding their work quietly, giving Celeste a brief pat of consolation at the attempt to lockpick. As she moves to the new room she whispers, "Umm...I think something, or someone, is alive over there...should we poke them?"
(Vanizi Perception: 14)
"Someone is alive in there?" Vanizi asks. 'A bit creepy to be sleeping in a coffin,' she thinks. She stays wary, in case the something alive is something dangerous.

"Is Zyl sure someone is in there?" the feline asks, looking at the coffin incredulously. "Well... if someone is in there... it seems more likely to Katarina that they are dead-that-walk rather than a living person..."
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
Davis says "Well let's at least give it a quick evil check."
He will use a Divine Sense.
Davis does not sense any undead, fiend, or celestial. However, between the lock busting and your (whispered?) remarks, the figure in the coffin stirs, then sits up. It is humanoid - wrapped in an old blanket and with wild, unkempt hair sticking up!
"Wha...? What's going on?" the figure mumbles. Then seeing your party with your light sources, it mutters in a cryptic manner, "In the murky shadows of tomorrow, unraveled threads of fate tighten around the unwary. The whispers of change are chilling..."
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Hey! You Lamsensettle?" she demands, having forgotten the first name Davis had just mentioned. She's ready to blast the woman with a spell should she try anything.

The woman looks at you, still half-asleep but growing more agitated. "Who are you? What do you want? And I am not a lemon saddle!" she exclaims.
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Zyl flutters up to the figure and sticks her hand out. "Hi! I'm Zyl! What's your name! We're searching for some lost people in this suuuuper creepy crypt and, well, we did find one person, but maybe we have found two! But what are you talking about!? Threads of fate? I don't like the sound of that."
Hearing Vanizi ask the question, Davis then moves up, "Hello, are you Sarcelle Malinosh? If so, we are here to find you."
Vanizi chuckles, "Not a lemon saddle, that's funny." She then listens as Zyl asks for a name and Davis proposes a specific one. 'Surely she's one of the missing folks!' she thinks.

"Yes, I am Sarcelle Malinosh, sorcerer. Unfortunately, I somehow lost my spellcasting power during a recent excursion to a distant plane - otherwise I could have surely freed myself from this crypt. But, without my magic I feel uneasy...Will you escort me from Neverdeath Graveyard? I can make my way home from there. The prodigal return sets the stage for revelations, and the hearth once cold flickers back to life." The woman is honest in her statements, and is definitely one of the people you are looking for!
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Is everyone going to need an escort?" Vanizi asks. She answers herself though a moment later. "I suppose it might not be safe to just wander off alone here. Of course we can help you out Sarcelle." She's ready to get moving back out to the entrance, assuming nobody else objects.
