"Between the two of you, I think that the door is going to be as good as opened." Messalina says, inspiring Astrid (1d8), as she reaches in and starts munching on corn chips.

"You guys are getting crumbs everywhere."Camilla joked. She pats Bell on the head. "Hurry up, you two, so we don't get caught doing anything suspicious. Like..picking this lock."she snorts in a quick laugh. "Hells, it's cold here."
Huge sides of beef, entire ham hocks, and enormous barrels fill this room, as do hundreds of crates. The place smells of burlap, wood, and salt. This storeroom contains a huge amount of food, though all of it is of average quality. Other than its natural refrigeration, this room is not remarkable.
One large crate off in the corner says: CORN CHIPS.
When black beady eyes read aloud the crate labeled as corn chips they widened to the size of dinner plates. She quickly snatched the bag of corn chips from Camilla and starts filling it up again with her favorite snack.

You got your refill, but like some birds, you made a HUGE mess. Someone's going to know someone other than the person with the key to this room was in here ransacking the corn chips.
Bell automatically starts pecking up the mess of corn chips with her beak with much vigor! No corn chip shall be left behind!

Camilla looks at her wrist, checking the time, except she doesn't have a watch on. Observing Bell peck at the corn chips like a pigeon, she smiled at the sight and says, amused, "This might take a while."She bends down and starts to help clean up. Stuffing as much as she can in Bell's Corn Chip Sack.
Walking upstairs takes you guys all to the Upper Courtyard. Tall, slender towers and walls of ice enclose a windswept area. At the moment, there are 6 ogres practicing their javelin throwing, supervised by a truly enormous cloud giant who appears to look very important.
"Again, another giant."Camilla muses, looking around and trying to fit it. "Hail, Tiamat!"she says to a random cultist walking by.
Did Astrid recognize any of the crates that were in Area 13 (the Storeroom), matching those crates that were being transported north with the group over the last two months?
"Hail Tiamat. Hail Tiamat." Messalina follows Camilla's lead and tries to fit in with the cultists. Once they have some distance, she suggests that they go deeper into the mountain so that they can find out what is in there.

You enter the mountain in the middle of the castle and as you walk into it through the passages it becomes so very cold, like being entombed in ice. A few passages lead to the center. The walls of blue ice are partly transparent, revealing various things embedded in the ice all around, including coins, helmets, livestock, a handful of kobolds, and an ogre or two. Frost coats the tunnel floors and crunches underfoot. All tunnels seem to lead to a central core — a glittering cavern of ice with jagged walls and icicles the size of stalactites. This grand vault is split into two levels: an egg-shaped upper level with a sheer ledge overlooking a sunken level 30 feet below, where a massive pile of treasure rests beneath an icy glaze. Clinging to the ceiling above the hoard, wings tucked in tight along its sides with claws gripping the ice, is a huge white dragon.
You stand before a massive mound of treasure, clearly all the treasure the cult has stolen - and it's guardian.
Glazhael cranes his massive head to get a better view of you all. Seeing that you're not carrying any crates, his voice rumbles in the cavern with a mixture of annoyance, impatience, and curiosity. "SOMETHING TO ADD TO THIS MAGNIFICENT HOARD FOR THE DRAGON QUEEN?"
The mere presence of this huge dragon is very unnerving. Everyone needs to make a DC14 WIS ST or become frightened.
Once the corn chips were taken care of, the cleric hopped right back into the bag of holding since it seemed kenku weren’t very known to be joining cults and the such. She happily continues munching on corn chips while the others got shit done.

Messalina casts Prestidigitation to clean these crumbs away. "Well we can huddle together if you're cold, Camilla."

"Its not that cold." Edward replies, having mainly been quiet because, well..... it's hard enough already to disguise a minotaur.
Astrid hides behind the behemoth Minotaur, and with the help of Bell, pulls out her thieves tools and gets to work on the lock:

Messalina helps shove chips in the bag and one that's done, she'll suggest locking this room back up and going upstairs.

No, it's just food. The contraband is being pushed into the mountain in the middle of the castle.
Li'riya does her best to keep her head down and follows the others through the keep, looking around quietly.
