(Ooc: this conversation would happen at the tavern, in retrospective)
"I am sorry to hear about your parents. I'm sure you'll make them proud. Back there, I thought I killed that thug. It was an unpleasant feeling." Pan takes a long swig.
Marking the suspicious murals as something to investigate further, Ingrid strides up to the woman coming towards the team "Hi! We are Flaming Fist - we've received reports of suspicious activity in the area, and need to investigate. We will be making a thorough search of the premises. May I ask your names, and for you to wait here in the courtyard until we're ready to interview you?"
The women all jump at the sound of Ingrid's authority.
One of them speaks, " Helen, Geona, and Deed. We will wait outside, we are simple employees who know nothing." They diligently move outside leaving the place empty.
Steam rises from the baths and you find yourselves damp rather quickly.
Investigation check: DC 16 to find the secret door leading down.
Arcana check DC 13 Read spoiler if successful.
The eyes moving in the mural is an elaborate spell woven into the walls to give the whole thing a rather lewd vibe.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Pan grimaces at how the moisture clings to him, knowing well how uncomfortable and itchy the bandages will get. He looks around the baths suspecting there might be some hidden entrance to where the cultists hide.
Not finding any hidden entrance, Pan spends a few seconds studying the murals. "Interesting! I wonder why would someone put so much effort into this.", he says, more to himself. The purpose of it eludes him.
Heading back to the group, Ingrid says “Hey guys - found a suspicious passage! It’s a long, dark staircase with no light, definitely doesn’t seem like it leads to a storage area. I presume those three girls have run off?”
"Likely." Nikkoli moved towards Ingrid, opting to follow her to the passage, "Though I wouldn't worry about them. They seemed innocent enough, not to mention, even if they aren't this is their main base no?" He gives a smile, believing everything was alright.
"Ah, good, I missed it." Pan approaches the stairs and focuses to see through the darkness. However anxious he was to get away from the steam, he still wouldn't want to be the first to descend.
Pori talks in a hushed voice to the group, I cannot tell the spell but the walls are imbued with a spell, it is giving rather perverse energy. I would recommend caution as there could be more powerful magic and not just spells to further their licentious desires.
He starts down the hall trying to pick up any details in the dark.

Nikkoli just smiles and looks around, looking dashing. But shows he means no harm by waving.

Nikki also looks about, enjoying the most feeling of the steam as he investigates the baths.

Ingrid finds the passage leading down.
A steep stair leed to darkness. There is no light.

Ooooh a dark corridor, no chattering people, no cleansing steam - Hauttrag rushes ahead to take point.

In retrospect, maybe he should not have been in such a hurry....

Hauttrag goes down the stair quickly, without a sound. No light comes from the large room he enters and beyond but the light from above helps a bit.
He finds himself knee-deep in water.
Hauttrag finally remembers what a bath is, and halts his progress, whispering " 's wet!" back up the stairs.
Can he see the other side of the room (Darkvision, 60ft)?
