Ok. Elyse, you enter into a new room. A wooden table and four chairs stand at the east end of this room. To the west are four alcoves containing moldy straw pallets.

You recall reading about a cult and horrible rituals going on here, you assume that this must be where the cultists slept. Also, next to each bed is a locked chest.

Enialis continues to look around as the group moves, happy to let others take the lead. Seeing chests next to each box he says, "Looks like I'm up again."
Enialis opens the first chest and finds 11gp and 60sp, as well as a pouch. The pouch is made out of no material you've encountered before and it gives you the sinking feeling that it might be the flesh of a humanoid.
He fails to open the second chest.
He opens the third chest and finds an eyepatch with a carnelian sewn into it. It can be sold for 50gp.
He opens the fourth chest and finds an ivory hairbrush with silver bristles. It can be sold for 25gp.
He opens the final chest and finds a silvered shortsword.
The path continues through and splits towards the south and east. Which way will you go?

Elyse patiently waits for Enialis to open the chests and hand out what he finds. Once everyone looks satisfied, she will wordlessly continue to the east.
Elyse, you come into a new room, it appears to be a dining hall.
This room contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches. Moldy humanoid bones lie strewn on the dirt floor, you assume that the cult might have feasted on human flesh as part of their dark rituals.
In the middle of the south wall is a darkened alcove and the path continues that way as well.

Phanuel shudders at the realization of what the bones mean. "Agreed. Fire should cleanse this place when we've finished what we must do here."
He blinks and looks at Fae for the first time since they entered the hall and giggles, a bit of his former cheery disposition shining through, "Fae, have you taken up piracy?"

Do I get a sense of what the straw pallets are/were used for?

Phanuel follows along, not wanting to get left behind again. "This place is awful."
Fae grins at Phanuel. "Of course it was the right thing to do! Eni, is there anything cool in the chests?"

That entirely depends on your definition of cool.

"We can sell and split money later." Enialis says as he hands the shortword over to Hadrian, "Have fun."

"Blasphemous," chokes Hadrian, illuminating the human remains. "We should burn this foul place to the ground."

If possible, Fae will put on the eyepatch. She looks around the chamber with her remaining eye. "Ewwwwww."

You're able to put on the eyepatch. But it's dusty and has a little bit of web on it, since it's been here for who knows how long.

Elyse will check to see what the dark alcove at the south wall is.

With a passive Perception of 9, Phanuel is surprised. He's too distracted trying to figure out if Fae is winking or blinking.
With a passive perception of 13, Elyse is not surprised and with an AC of 17 the attack misses.
