Roselia was disgusted as she saw the ugly statue of a bat creature, gladly letting the others get close to it. They kept moving until they got to a room, looking vaguely familiar as she remembered the goblins. "I found this area before, there are goblins in the room at the other end, so do be careful." she had said to the rest of the party, not sure if those goblins are still asleep or not.
Not wishing to leave either of his companions to fend for themselves, Gallant Rose follows closely behind them. Hearing his companions speak, he calls out in return:
Coldspear: "Much obliged, sir Coldspear."
Roselia: "Is that so? If that is the case, then let me go ahead and check." Gallant Rose will proceed to check the room indicated by Roselia, while also keeping his ears out for other potential threats.
Waving the others toward the armory ”There are weapons in here if anyone needs anything.” Then I enter the armory bypassing the weapons and supplies and trying the door.
Roselia had heard Gallant, nodding as he had went to go check. "Thank you." she had said back to Gallant Rose. She saw and heard Windy wave them over, how there are weapons in that room. Those goblins must still be asleep then, surprised as she made her way over to where Windy was.

Garner
Watching the party search the rooms and hearing no danger he sees them stop.
Coldspear walks from where they entered the small complex of rooms to where the party is now stopped. He approaches and overhears Windy Diamonds report of what she saw.
Still listening, he looks to the armory. "Finally some loot!!!!!" he thinks.
On the wall sit rows of goblin sized weapons..."The Gods do smile upon me...BWHAAAA HAAA. It's been ages since i've seen a right proper armory...this one's not right or proper but better than nothing" he thinks.
He searches through the weapons, his hands stopping on a pike and a hand crossbow. "Yes...these will do." Coldspear stands, hands full of weapons, "I shan't need this axe anymore." He places the axe gently to the ground.
Coldspear secures the pike to his pack then stuffs bolts into his pack.
Grabbing the hand crossbow he stands.
He approaches the door, grabs the handle...before turning the handle he puts his ear to the doors and listens.
Perception roll:6
[Does he hear anything?]If nothing is heard...he opens the door.
Nothing is heard from the door, so Garner opens the door.
A layer of soil covers the floor. Rough wooden shelves, filled with a scattering of tomes and scrolls, line the north and east walls, while a rough-hewn desk stands in the center of the chamber. Fungus on the ceiling provides light, apparently in sufficient quantity to to nourish several small bushes and pale saplings that grow in the soil.
Looking about windy realizes that she is out of her depth with books and scrolls but has a sudden idea. ”Vorsichtiger Gnomendenker Wilfan” As the pink light fades the little gnome scoots the chair over to the shelves climbing up on it to reach the books on higher shelves he starts to look through them to see what they are.

//OOC When I transform to Wilfan does my Mage Armor remain?
There are a few useful or interesting items. A scroll of *entangle*, a scroll of *cure poison*, and a tome written in Druidic that only a druid could read. There is quite a lot written in it.
”Black Magic. These might interest you.” I hold out the scrolls. “I think this book is written by a Druidic scholar. But I don’t think I can read it. Anyone else think they could work it out?”
”Ah, yes, thank you” Black magic says to Wilfan, taking the two scrolls as he says it, he then unfurls one, checking the contents of them, noticing that he can't read them. He then says ”Give me 10 minutes and I can cast a spell to allow me to read the Druid language”,If the party agrees to the idea, Black magic starts ritual-casting Comprehend Languages, it will take 10 minutes to cast, then 1 minute for each page of text he reads.
(Edit: A scroll of cure poison? I can't find that spell. The closest I can find is Protection from Poison, but that's second level, so maybe not...)
Black magic relays what he is reading to the rest of the party, be fore stopping and saying ”Looks like there’s nothing interesting in here, I'll keep it just in case though”
(OOC question, I currently have the Comprehend Languages spell cast, that spell states in its description: ”For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any spoken language that you hear. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. This spell doesn't decode secret messages in a text or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn't part of a written language.”, while the description of the [magic item]Spell Scroll (1st level);spell scroll[/magic item] states: ”If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible.”, Would I be able to read the scroll? I'm honestly not too sure here, as this is a grey area in the text. Sidenote: Is the ”Cure poison” spell a wizard spell? If so, I can copy it into my spellbook with 2 hours of work, and 50 GP per level of the spell)

Roselia was looking over the goblin-sized weapons, unimpressed and disinterested in them. So she followed the others to the next room with shelves full of scrolls and tomes, disgusted with all the fungi before Wilfan found some stuff. She couldn't read the scrolls or the tome he found as Black Magic said that he could cast a spell to read the language in the tome. "That would be a good idea." she had said, waiting before Black Magic starts to read it and then stops. "It would be wise to read it so that all of us know the contents. There could be some sort of clue as to how to get the gem that we seek without potentially getting hurt." Roselia had said back, agreeing with Garner before thinking. Scouting and information gathering is better suited for Elizabeth than herself, as she goes to play her viol and turn back into the normal Elizabeth. So now Elizabeth looks to the other door that they did not go through to the south. While she listens to Black Magic read the book if he does so, she will copy what Coldspear did before, putting one ear up to the door and listening for any sounds coming from the other side.

The order in which I go through the rooms.

"BWAA HAAA!!! There lies that damned vampire...at least we know the legend is true...he's dead...but I'm not going near that thing...it feels wrong."
Coldspear turns and notices the party is gone. He steps into the tunnel and sees them heading towards the rooms...he speeds up to catch them.
As he enters the room he sees Windy Diamond searching room by room.
Thinking there might be hidden trouble he waits outside the door of room 1.
"I'll be here making sure nothing follows...holler if you need backup."
Coldspear stands at the door, readies his axe and keeps his ears and eyes open.
Not wishing to leave either of his companions to fend for themselves, Gallant Rose follows closely behind them. Hearing his companions speak, he calls out in return:
Coldspear: "Much obliged, sir Coldspear."
Roselia: "Is that so? If that is the case, then let me go ahead and check." Gallant Rose will proceed to check the room indicated by Roselia, while also keeping his ears out for other potential threats.
Perception check: 1
(Sorry for the delay!)
The first room is empty.
In the second room, a giant rat, half butchered and skinless, lies on a table.
In the third, the still-sleeping goblins in the wine crushing barrel.
In the fourth, bed rolls; three more goblins are sleeping here; you manage to not wake them.
In the fifth, a workshop of sorts; the rat's skin is being turned into armor, and the meat cooked.
In the final room, a small armory with leather armor, spears and javelins; there is also a door.

(Lets say it does.)

Wilfan
”Black Magic. These might interest you.” I hold out the scrolls. “I think this book is written by a Druidic scholar. But I don’t think I can read it. Anyone else think they could work it out?”
Garner
Coldspear moves forward searching the desk for any information relating to the gem or the vampire...a book or journal.
The druidic tome may very well be what Coldspear seeks, if only he could read it.
”Ah, yes, thank you” Black magic says to Wilfan, taking the two scrolls as he says it, he then unfurls one, checking the contents of them, noticing that he can't read them. He then says ”Give me 10 minutes and I can cast a spell to allow me to read the Druid language”, If the party agrees to the idea, Black magic starts ritual-casting Comprehend Languages, it will take 10 minutes to cast, then 1 minute for each page of text he reads.

Send help please(I guess it's not a thing in 5e; lets just say it cures the poisoned status effect.)
The tome is filled with rambling writing on the nature of nature. Of interest, the most recent entry:
"The scions of the Gulthias Tree thirst, blood must soak their roots. The tree burns with inner fire unlike any I have seen."

Send help please"Cure Poison" is a divine spell. I'm pretty sure the intent of the rules is that you can't cast a scroll without having the right class, regardless.
