Blix is somewhat shredded by the cloud of daggers and takes 10 slashing as he rushes through the doorway. The cuts hurt, but the pain fuels his bloodlust! He immediately notices a guy on his right once through the doorway and unleashes his flurry of swipes!! (What is Roya's spell DC? That's the DC to beat to not get destroyed by blades. I assume a 10 is nowhere close...)

Seeing a new figure emerge from the broken window, Klox wheels to face Roya's surprise assailant. "Hey uggie-buggy-buddy! You leave Klox friend alone!" And with that, he hurls a whirling mass of reddish-black energy towards the brown man.
Yanking the spiked chain attached to Giggles, to get his attention, Klox issues a terse command. "Keep beedie eyes on pointy door." And with his hand he points towards the front door of the building full of whirling blades.

Grishkar rushes to the nearby window and peers through, holding an ominous blue glow in his hand.

Between the blast, the chill touch, and Blix's dangerous gambit to run through the blades, it would appear all parties are dropped!
Jeremiah and Rukorm check the area and doors for any other traps and find none. Once it seems safe to enter, everyone files in through the door. Inside, you mostly see crates and smoke. Some of the crates that were by the window are now burnt to a crisp and you see paintings and the line within some of them... Of course they aren't worthy of resale in their current state.
Finally there is a second story, though anyone with a perception and/or investigation over a 10 can tell there is a cupboard under the stairs up.

Klox finds boring portraits and other "works of art," which the little goblin detests. Not a single one of these depicts a skewering! Not even a single cut. No class at all.
Meanwhile, Roya opens the cupboard and finds someone you've all been looking for - not the girl unfortunately, but another. The bug-eyed elf man with carapace for skin. As a moment of silence passes between him and Roya, she can hear a strange, low clicking sound from his body. It takes her a moment to realize that is just how it sounds when he breathes.
"You... Don't kill me, please..." He whispers. His voice sounds like a hum. It feels like a mosquito is hovering around you Roya, but you understand this to be the quality of this person's voice.

Jeremiah spies and sees the man in the cubby as Roya stares for a moment in disbelief. Soon everyone is alerted to the bug eyed man. He continues to plead for his life despite not being prompted by any of you.

"T-They took her," the bug eyed man covers his head expecting retribution. "S-She don't know anything, but they took her anyway..."

"Where they be takin' her?" Blix runs hand across one the larger wounds he has gained during the battle and licks the juicy treat off of his fingers. "We needs to find her"
"T-The sewer, but, y-you'll all die if you follow," the bug eyed one looks at each of you. "I think... I think it's the Golgari... or maybe, oh I don't know, but they came... they came prepared... oh goodness..."

The man in the closet says nothing about that comment as it seems he is worried any contrarian words would spell his death. Instead he whimpers and asks, "C-Can... Can I go...?"
