Carrow will look around the area for anything that looks like it might be a hint as to where to go.

Carrow can see stairs winding out of sight, just like the cellar at the Bowels. Carrow pokes around the boxes and refuse looking for any sign of where they might be now. He doesn't turn up much.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hildigrim avoids the altar, but does one more circuit of the cellar to make sure he doesn't see anything of interest with the intent of ending up at the stairs.

Hildi walks the perimeter of the room one more time. Holding his torch to the old shelves and boxes. Hildi peeks inside a few; a box of small braziers and censers, lighting fixtures for a church. Another box is full of 15 old white candles (1 hour candle).
Everything else seems to be rotted or permanently tarnished by the thick coat of dust. Nothing else of interest as far as Hildi can tell.
As Hildigrim peers into the crate with the candles, he begins to ask, "Do you think we should take —" But as Barrel's hand touches his shoulder, he jumps and whirls around, raising his battleaxe. Seeing Barrel, Hildigrim breathes a sigh of relief and lowers his weapon. He smiles politely at the Dwarf and then Barrel's drum catches Hildi's eye. "Sir Dwarf," he says, "in all my study, I admit that I have neglected the musical arts. My own lack of natural talent in that skill has ... frustrated me. Would you allow me to inspect your personal instrument?"
OOC: I'm not sure if Barrel would have had the chance to heal Hildi's wounds. He's feeling a little jumpy right now. Perhaps the DM will allow you to edit the target.
"Sure thing friend, but be careful with it." Barrel says as takes the drum off the strap around his neck and hands it to Hildi. (The drum is hanging from a neck strap so I have quick access to it or I can release it if I'm using my weapon.
"I'm in need of some healing Flow if you can spare it. If we rest I can probably get some of this fixed myself." (If we rest don't bother to heal me, I will use a hitdie to heal myself) 6
"That was a fine welcome to this place don't you think. I suggest we rest for a few before we head up the stairs and see what's out there. Time's a wasting."
ooc:
Barrel's drum, but it has magical runes scribbled on the bottom of it. And maybe it is a little smaller. That's not Barrel though :-)
"Hey Barrel, don't forget to grab those coins from the fountain. There was 6 of them I believe, should be enough for one each and then maybe one for the group pot."
"I grabbed them, Bran." Barrel says as he walks around the room handing each person an electrum and keeps the extra one for himself. "I have the extra one in my pouch if anyone needs it later. I'm not stealing it."
When Barrel is done handing out the electrum he heads back towards Hildi. "What are you trying to figure out about the drum Hildi? It's not magical or anything. It's what I use to focus my arcane energy. Actually, it might be magical for all I know. I got it when I was a wee lad at the age of 80. Been playing it ever since. No one bangs a drum quite like me if I do say so myself." Barrel says as he gives a slight bow and waves his cloak with a flourish.
As far as we know there is only one shadow around. Who knows what is up the stairs. It's safer here in my opinion. We aren't sleeping. Just resting, mending wounds and leveling. We will all be awake and on guard.

Hiligrim shivers as his adrenaline rush subsides. He turns and looks at Bran. "Hainard's hairy toes! What a welcome party!"
Bran nods, "Indeed my hairy footed friend. Now let's have a closer look shall we?"
Bran sets out trying to learn something about the alter in front of them.

"I don't like this, at all," Flow remarks frankly, to no one in particular.
At least the hourglass is working, he thinks.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Barrel walks over to the fountain and scoops up the electrum he spotted before going over to Hildi.
Barrel begins playing a slow heart beat rhythm on his drum as he sings a few words. When he is done he reaches out and touches Hildi on the shoulder.

Edit:bah I meant to cast this on flow. Oh well. I need to pay attention more. That's what happens when I do things at work. Lol

"Does anyone need healing after that fight?" asks Flow.
"I have some healing magic that I can use."
"Of course, maybe we should rest here for a while, anyways."
OOC: Flow definitely needs some healing, but he can do some on himself if Barrel doesn't change his target. Alternatively, we could take a short rest.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Hildi leans his battleaxe against one of the boxes and excitedly accepts the drum to inspect it.

OOC: Flow is taking a short rest, as well. How do you want to do this, Charlie? Will we gain our new spell slots or just our level features?
And that's all I have to say about that.
Flow smiles.
"I guess getting our strength back up is a good idea."

And that's all I have to say about that.
Is this time our short rest? Do we want to chance hanging out here? What if more shadows come?
As far as we know there is only one shadow around. Who knows what is up the stairs. It's safer here in my opinion. We aren't sleeping. Just resting, mending wounds and leveling. We will all be awake and on guard.
