((I think that all of this look similar enough with the mirrored layout that Kroshav probably would get a bit lost on his own, so is relying on the others with more directional sense to be able to help keep him straight, in addition to Sword.

(Yes, Jaq is all for checking all the needed rooms.....As long as it is relatively quick. If it is going to take a long time however, he would want to try Joe's collapsing techniques, then go down to the safe library area, sleep, heal, and then do a full recon/search.)
((Especially if we happen to stumble on the rest of our 'stuff', would be good to try collapse then clear the area after. If we collapse before that, it's possible our stuff is on the other side if we do manage to drop the tunnel.))

Kroshav quietly spaces out again for a bit.
<Ealu, hope you and Charlie are doing okay. We're all back together here, and we've got two new friends... well, one and a half. They were prisoners here too, but we set them free. Hope to make it back up to you soon, keep Charlie safe for me. I love you both!>

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cladmir saw Kroshav space out again, and while have more knowledge has been instrumental in saving his hides numerous times in the past, so was cautious observation. While he has had his share of experiences when it comes to reading other humans, he would readily admit that he fell far short when it came to reading other races -- much less that of a dragonborn. In other circumstances he may have just asked, or simply went his own way, but he was bound to this party now and he would like to avoid the possibility of antagonizing anyone as long as possible. Could this be something that dragonborns do on occasions? Or could this be a sign that something is wrong and the paladin was about to exploded into a storm of violence. He occasional episodes should have been obvious to everyone and it even sounded like it was expected? Darn his head still feel foggy and he wished he could think more clearly.
Still trying to fight the lingering and persistent headache he tried to dig deep into noggin to find anything that may be useful. Insight roll: 5
It seems like you're seeing one half of a conversation, but none of the other members of the group seem surprised or off put by it. He might seem like he's not the brightest, but doesn't seem crazy, unless Cladmir's opinion of religious folks lumps them all together... Surely his gods wouldn't speak directly to him to tell him about contents of rooms?

After observing the group, Cladmir came to the conclusion that if no one else seemed bothered by the paladin's action, then neither should he. Sure, his younger self would have scolded the "faithfuls," but had long since stopped caring about what other professed to belief, and instead focus on their actions. To him, it seems like the dragonborn may be in some sort of trance or communion or prayer and so far it had not led the group astray. Feeling a little bit better, Cladmir felt a renew sense of hope and a strange burning sense he had not felt since his youth. Could this be fate?
The group decides to quickly check all the inner rooms. The NE quadrant's inner rooms contain barrels of water and food, mostly dry and unappealing.
The NW quadrant's inner rooms contain three rooms filled with bodies in various states of decay. Something has been poured on them to control the odor along with what must be a spell. On opening the doors the smell washes out and makes your already posioned stomachs roil.
The SW quadrant contains nothing.
The group finds all three inner rooms to be locked in the SE quadrant.
He will wait to do any lockpicking before hearing from the others.
Jaq will, however, move in close to the first door and take a really, really close look at it after asking Lurn, "Can I get a little blessing from the God of Graves so I might be able to detect traps a bit better?"
The door looks plain enough, no different than the others installed except perhaps slightly better fitted. A quick glance into the lock shows it to be bit exotic but not especially complicated.
The dragonborn seems to be listening to someone, head cocked to the side a bit.
"There's some beds and desks in those rooms.", Kroshav waves a clawed hand. "And the big one has something else in it. Might be important? Worth checking at least."

“ah…how do you know about this Kroshav? It be handy, but a bit odd.” Joe says as she tries to use shape water to push water in the lock and try to open it that way. (not sure what to roll?)
edit : derp I thought Jaq lock picked, Joe will make a lockpick for Jaq and help him.
((Yep.))
"Unless we want the drow waking you up, yeah, probably.", The dragonborn replies.

((Are you going to try and get into them?))
"Should I try to get us in?"

19 Perception check
2 Lurn's guidance if he is willing.
((Assuming the north most inner room))

Once Jaq hears Joe start casting a spell, he backs away from the door, in case it is trapped, or a huge fire starts.
"Sword told me-"
"I know you don't like her.... No you can't. No, drow are the enemy right now."
