G clears their throat and brushes themselves off. They'd be comfortable with taking a short rest in order to preserve resources.

Mallet nods - channeling divinity to bring everyone to at least half hp before starting the short rest. She asks if anyone knows anything more about this place, or that spore zombie, while they patch themselves up.

Morticia welcomes Mallet's healing and the short rest. She needed to catch her breath after that last fight.

SR: 17

G nods their head in thanks to Mallet for tending to the others. They’d then take their rest to patch up their minor wounds. 

SR: 25 

Shi chatters with her spirit orbs while the group rests, one staying by her side when they rise to go.

SR: 9

Tales From Beyond: 2

Tale of the Renowned Duelist. You make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to two rolls of your Bardic Inspiration die + your Charisma modifier.

Corinne nods her thanks to mallet, before settling down to meditate and focus her vampiric energies to mend her wounds.
SR: 19 (3 HD)

G steps up to Corinne and offers her a hand up. "Greyce appears to be quite fond of you Miss Corinne." Should she accept it, she'd feel comforting warmth emanating from the paladins palm. "They admire your fearlessness." It'd rejuvenate a few of her remaining wounds.

On Corinne
Lay on Hands: 5hp
(Still keeping a reserve, but providing a little buffer.)

Taking a look around the room, they weren't currently aware of what direction they should take. "Any thoughts?" G would purse their lips as grey hues scan around them. "I know some who choose left when there's a choice." They'd comment, taking a moment to see if there's anything that could suggest what way they should go first, and whether it was safe.

Roll: 16 if help: 2
(+2 for investigation, or +4 if I can use survival to pick out any tracks or most used path, if any would exist)

G sees that there is only one way out, through the passage to the west. They sense no danger.

J6. Display Room

Empty shelves and display cases line the walls of this room. A tunnel opens in the wall to the east and a stone door leads south. One of the shelves is not so empty however, as it holds a figurine of wondrous power that's in the shape of a griffon.

Corinne picks up and looks at the griffin figurine, before handing it over to Shi, "Maybe one of your spirits might know what this thing is, it feels important."
She will then wait by the south door, ready to keep moving.

Shi examines the figurine closely, consulting with said spirits in whispers.

Arcana: 22 + 2

Mallet is happy to see wounds bound up so well, though she offers to heal some cuts and bruises she finds worrying on Shi and Corinne, if they wish.

"Jando, what do you make of this place? Any ideas?"

She takes great interest in the figurine of wondrous power.

She's also keeping her ears, nose, and eyes open for any sign of threats, or items of note, or anything as they move through the rooms.

Perception: 24

 Shi: The figurine is a figurine of wondrous power. You know that when activated, it will turn into a [creature]griffon[/creature], although it will only remain for a few hours, at which point it returns to statue form and can't be used again for the next 5 days.

Mallet: You smell something absolutely awful coming from the next room, like charnel. Although you can't tell what it is from out here.

"I've never been to Roslar's Coffer before now and I've certainly never been in his tomb. I don't have any more idea than you do."

Shi blinks and tilts her head. "This will give us a griffon. Hello, Balos," she greets the griffon before slipping the figurine into her pocket.

Mallet barely reaches out for the figurine, and then stops, and her head tilts in a disgusted grimace. "Anyone smell that? I think it's coming from the next room. Ugh."

G makes the mistake of sniffing. They grunt. Taking hold of their scythe, they stride forward to lead the way in checking it out.

Area J7

The eastern half of this large hall has collapsed, creating an impassable heap of stone and masonry. Water drips slowly from several cracks in the cavernous ceiling, forming small pools on the floor. The air here is dank, and patches of mold grow on bas-relief carvings of armored knights on the western wall. Identical stone doors lead north and south. Coming from a crack in the ceiling are three foul-smelling clouds of rest mist.
