You see small, wriggling things that are probably maggots infesting the boar's head you chose to study. While it doesn't wake up and attack you, it stares at you with its blank, dead eyes, that haven't quite decomposed or been eaten yet.

Zephyr, you see a short hallway connecting to the next room. Two unlit lamps are the only decor. However, there is a warm glow coming from underneath the opposite door.

"Urgh, what a disgusting smell."Despite her comment, Eden walks into the room after Uri and takes a curious look around. Her eyes land on something in the darkness, however, and she suddenly stumbles back out of the room, almost falling to the ground as she covers her mouth with her hands, holding back a scream. She stands frozen for a few moments, her eyes beginning to tear up but she shakes her head and removes her hands from her mouth to take a few shakey deep breaths. She clenches her fists and stares into the room, a few tears falling down her face as she mumbles to herself. "No. No no... it's not him... it's not him. This isn't real."
Having had a very good look at the boar, Uri tips his hat and takes on its form. Following Eden out of the room he claps a trotter on her shoulder, advising her
"Places like this, they prey on your fears, make you see things. Things that aren't. It's not real. It's important to remember that. None of it's real. Except when it is. And that's when they get you. Don't let it get to you but don't for one second dismiss it "
He snorts, then dismisses the illusion as he heads after the others west, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation by fixing his drums into position in front of his belly.
Terrick holds back a gag as the smell of decaying flesh hits his nose. It's a terrible smell but one that you occasionaly come across in war. His eyes moved about the room taking in the various decaying animals. His eyes hit the wall the wall taking in first the halfling? then human and then... there... Nezzra. His beloved... he had feared, no dreaded that she had been taken in by this.
With a clang, his blade falls from his grasp and before he knew it was on his knees freely weeping. His arm stretched out to Nezzra's mounted head. In a low soft voice he just said, "Nezzra, no my sweet Nezzra." He rested his head in the crook of his arms for a moment and wiped the tears. He looked down through his blurry eyes and saw his sword, and the small charm that dangled from the pommel, a simple symbol of love etched into a piece of bark back from the tree they had first met under. He touched it gingerly with his finger and then let out a mighty roar.
Taking the blade, he stood up. He moved over to the where her head was mounted and gently touched the the cheek. Another tear rolled down his own cheek, then he gritted his teeth and grasped the wall mounting and tore it from the wall, head and all. Placing it down on the floor he turned to the others and asked, "Can anyone light a fire? I... can't... she... She can't be left this way... I'd rather her, she'd wouldn't want to be seen this way... Please, let her be cremated."
With a shaky hand, Eden puts her hand onto Terrick's shoulder. "I-its alright, Terrick. It isn't real. Its.... there's no way this is real. This place. It's like Url said... It isn't real. None of this is real...." Her hand tightens on Terrick's shoulder as she says the last line. Though she's trying to comfort Terrick, it looks more like she's trying to convince herself.
Terrick looked over at Zephyr with rage in his eyes for calling his beloved a pet, then confusion. He looked back down and saw not the head of his beloved but that of a wolf. It's cold dead eyes staring back up, tongue hanging out of its mouth. He stumbled backward and then got on his feet. With another roar he stepped forward and kicked the head with his boot sending it away from him.
"This F*ing place... for that, Ima gonna kill every last one of you monstrous pieces of shit, burn you corpses and bury the ashes on consecrated grounds." he yells out.
Seeing Terrick's reaction, Eden quickly makes her way back into the room and looks for the head she saw before. In its place is a rat's head. Letting out a sigh of relief, she walks back out of the room and towards the door Zephyr opened. "Lets just get this shit over and done with."
"Aluchard, it was a dirty trick. They played on my fear that my beloved was here, her head mounted on the wall, but it's just a wolf's head. This place will be tricky. Best to clear it all out and then burn it to the ground and than sanctify the land." He spits in the direction of the trophies and then walks out the room.
During the investigation of the trophy room, Urth stayed at the entrance, quietly observing the group inside the room and keeping an eye on Zephyr and the darkened hallway beyond. As the group files out of the trophy room, Urth moves to entrance of that darkened hallway and readies his shield protectively, "Would someone check this hall and the door for traps, before we open it? I'd like to avoid any more trickery."
Urth nods in response to Uri and prepares to move forward, his large frame almost filling the entrance to the darkened hallway, making it even darker. He holds his shield in front of him with one hand, while fishing in a pouch on his belt with the other. After a moment, he produces a piece of chalk and says to the others, "Keep an eye out for these marks, if we get split up," while he scrawls an arrow above his head, inside the door frame, pointing west. He deposits the chalk back in the pouch, heads off down the hall in the direction the arrow points, and opens the door when he reaches it.

Before entering the trophy room, Zephry opens the west door in the main room

Zephyr looks down the corridor "There is a light down here. Might be slightly more inviting than rotten heads"

Aluchard cries at the dead animals and humanoid heads stands next to Zephyr. "It does indeed." He draws his greatsword.

The rest of you see Terrick rip a rotten wolf head off the wall, and ask you to burn it.

"Was she... Was she a pet of yours?"

Aluchard stares in shock and shakes his head. "I am so sorry. Lurue, please help us while we are in this place. We will avenge your friend, Terrick."

Uri duly obliges, preparing to leap back at the first sign of danger

You're fairly confident that you see no traps.

Uri flicks his goggles (which he wasn't using, this is showmanship) up and breathes easy.
"well, looks clean to me, my shield bearing compadré. Go open it"
