After seeing what happened to the first barrel that was moved, Mithrokk carefully examines the remaining barrel. He notices that the barrel rings have been sawed almost through; anything moving or bumping the barrel will likely cause it to fall apart, spilling the contents to the floor.

“Twould seem that someone has gone to great lengths to keep eyes and noses out of here. Exploding runes and acid traps point to something important beyond, “ Mithrokk says to the party. “We must forge ahead to uncover the truth behind this foul business.”
"Difficult to imagine that mage carrying so many flasks of acid down into the cellar without the innkeeper's notice but I suppose stranger things have happened."
“I dinna ken the answers to all yer questions, friends. Mayhap we shall find them together soon. Shall we check the eastern door or proceed down the corridor. Me folk have no love fer water though.”
"I do not mind. As long as we retrieve the compensation promised."
Rastaris instructs Xelote to alert him if anything comes out of the southern doors (East and West - down the hall)
If he read the intentions of Lathalas correctly, Rastaris readies to cast Mind Sliver at anything leaving the room Lathalas will be opening.
Mithrokk moves to J9, grips his greataxe, and prepares himself against the coming onslaught. He readies an action to chop at anything that comes out of the doorway.

OOC - Mithrokk should be beside the barrel since he's inspecting it.
OOC - Since Rastaris moved that far forward, please make a Perception check.
“Twould seem that someone has gone to great lengths to keep eyes and noses out of here. Exploding runes and acid traps point to something important beyond, “ Mithrokk says to the party. “We must forge ahead to uncover the truth behind this foul business.”
Perception Check: 10
OOC: Does my familiar also get a Perception check?
OOC - If the familiar is in your square, then it also gets a Perception check.
Lathalas: "Are you suggesting that the innkeeper set up these acid traps and deliberately failed to warn us?"
OOC: What's the result of Lathalas' perception check for moving close to the eastern door? It was a 17.
Xelote's Perception Check - The Owl has Dark Vision 120 feet and advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or sight.
Roll 1: 15
Roll 2: 4
OOC - Well, you heard squeaking sounds ...
“That innkeeper would not have been able to craft such a fiery nuisance. May has ‘‘twas that mage he mentioned.”
"Difficult to imagine that mage carrying so many flasks of acid down into the cellar without the innkeeper's notice but I suppose stranger things have happened."
"My concern is why go to extraordinary lengths to kill mere rats."
"There seem to be more rats in this room (the one beside Lathalas)."
"Given the movement of the rats earlier, it would seem that this acid was meant for them."
With a nod to the door beside him, Lathalas asks, "What say you to more blood and mayhem?"
“I dinna ken the answers to all yer questions, friends. Mayhap we shall find them together soon. Shall we check the eastern door or proceed down the corridor. Me folk have no love fer water though.”
“I’d prefer rhetoric and mayhem, but twould seem the blood is compulsory. I say thee Aye, friend elf! Blood and mayhem it shall be!”
"I do not mind. As long as we retrieve the compensation promised."

OOC: Shall we take up positions? Farnakees and Mithrokk up front. Followed by Lathalas then the mages. Works for all?
Mithrokk moves to J9, grips his greataxe, and prepares himself against the coming onslaught. He readies an action to chop at anything that comes out of the doorway.
"Well, it seemed like the were trying to get away from here or from something that's here."
"If you're planning to open that eastern door, let me move first." (to I11, if that's possible) "Those rats seem to prefer traveling by the walls."
OOC: Sure. Sounds good. Please disregard previous post.
