With Reel'yn blocking Zurzg, Margret points to the door directly to the east of them in the crypt room
"I think we should check out that door before we go further. I don't want to leave any thugs behind us. Kai you may want to take one of those cloaks. The halforc seamed intent on taking Zurzgs."
If she has time she searches the dead redbrands and the living one and tries to find her illuminated dagger.
Nobody only looks up upon completely tying up and removing Redbrand(3) cloak from the still living. When he finally realizes noone gave chase after the half-orc, his expression goes from incredulous to one of defeat as he looks back to the ground. He only allows himself to wallow for so long before taking a deep, chest extending breathe and letting out all of his frustrations in a final exhale.
Then, unless someone decides to stop him, and with many a grunts from exertion, the tiefling tries to put the man into one of the sarcophagus' before he awakens, closing the lid on him afterwards. During the interim Yanda flies over to Margret to offer her back her bow. Just as soon as it is out of the monkey's hand, he zooms off back the way they came to keep watch on the entryway room. The cautious bugger tries to use the corner as cover as much as possible as he does so.
"It was the guardians he mentioned."A breathless Nobody chimes in after having done all else. Turning to the others, at any confused looks he rolls his eyes and says,"The skeletons, remember? They didn't move to act until Miss Kai... ran in her frustrations?"He gives her a questioning look of confirmation before pressing on. "Now that we've pressed this far, that half-orc isn't just gonna wait around some bend to strike."He leaves the implications hanging in the air, and turn instead to the eastern and unopened door in the corner, waiting to see who might open it first.
"I was not halting. I just wanted to make sure the passage taken by the half-orc was not compromised." - send the familiar ahead of us through this passage and let's continue chasing him."
"'Yanda' is already keeping watch on our flank. Just in case more pop up from that secret passage you and Mr. Zurzg found earlier. But, I can take point, seeing as I have not... been injured. Yet. Ahem." It's hard to see past all the blackness about the tiefling, but one could swear he bushed at the admission. "B-but before then, as... frankly it may be too late now. You were concerned about the door there?" He asked, but as she spoke he made his way over to the door in the corner of the crypt and tried to open it if not stopped.

(On her assumed init turn) Kai would have taken a cloak off if one of the dead redbrand, attempting to see if it fit her. If/when it did she would wear it and offer Margaret a nod of thanks for the reminder. She would watch over the others patiently to see what they were going to do, speaking softly. "Either door we take we are leaving our flank open. If we go this new way, there could be enemies behind us. If we go through this previously found way, there are obviously enemies behind us. The question is, which would we prefer?"

Ree‘lyn, you only here your comrades talking in the back and you don‘t see any traps other kind of obstacles. On the other hand you don‘t even find the leaver to open the secret door.
Margret and Nobody, between the two redbrands, you find 2 more cloaks, 3 gold dragons, 14 silver and 23 copper, a long bow, a light crossbow, a mace and a shortsword. The weapons are in an ok condition.
"This is the second secret passage we find. We still have to get back to the previous one, if that is still an option to provide us a minimum of leverage in this situation. Stop deviating from our goals. We must find and..." - a little pause to regard his next words. - "deal with him the best way we can."
Zurzg turns to face Kai as she offers him the extra weapons, eyeing her as one would a mad person. He draws her attention to the veritable arsenal of daggers, bow, swords, mace and shield already adorning his body.
The goblin points towards the not-so-secret door to the north as he is questioned by Kai. “Orc through there, Zurzg get told to go, then not go, so Zurzg get confused and not sure where orc is now.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Same rough direction. And... it is as Ree'lyn said. If there were enemies that way, they would've came out during the ruckus. As it stands, we are wasting precious time debating on it. Take a quick gander if you wish, but we need get moving immediately after." Nobody cuts in to the chatter. Just as soon as Margret either gets a good peeks inside , confirming whether to be a dead or not, OR appears to decide not to, he loads up another bolt, toss whaterver pouch of coin he found earlier to Kai, and made a move to follow the Orc's path; be it alongside Zurzg or in the lead. Any further talk about using familiars -- risking Yanda -- he brushes aside without a word.
In the case of following the Orc's path, he tries to keep it quiet, and peek around any corners before stepping into view at any point. But if there are more enemies or something of interest Margret's way, he is likely towards the back, crossbow at the ready, and a grim look about his face.
Margret you carefully open the door. Nothing happens and you peek inside the room. This long room is partitioned into three areas, with iron bars walling off the north and south. Filthy straw lines the floors of those cells, the hinged doors of which are secured by chains and padlocks. A disheveled human woman is held in the cell to the south, while a human boy and a girl are confined to the north. All are dressed in plain gray tunics and have iron collars fitted around their necks.A heap of discarded clothing is piled carelessly against the far wall. A mirrored lantern provides some light in the room.
Ree’lyn the corridor in front of you opens up into some kind of storage area it seams to open up into a large natural cavern, but it has been finished with dressed stone block walls and a flagstone floor. Several barrels are stored against the walls here, along with a number of empty crates, straw for packing, hammers, pry bars, and nails. You can’t make out much of the cavern, but it seams to be decently lighted by lanterns and the faint rotten smell reminds you of the air behind the first hidden door near the cistern.

"Zurzg? Do you want this? It hurts things about the same as a longbow."
She offers him the Light Crossbow and the short sword thinking that maybe an extra attack from him would help us
Then offers the Mace to Kai if she doesn't take it Margret keeps it as a back up
"You look pretty hurt Zurzg. Which way did the Orc go?"
Looking to the party gesturing to the north and the eastern door and back the way we came
"What do we do next?"
(any ammo?)
