Before following the others into the room Rinc will approach Kirpo...."Is anything the matter with him...?"  pointing at the other Kobold.    "Do you know anything about the mushroom farm we are heading towards?"  You know it appears to have been one of your ancestors that sent us that direction...however his information may have been a few hundred years out of date.

Sen'ra sees that there are small floating spores inside the large dried mushroom. It seems the old liquid-filled fungus has been left for a long time and evaporated some of its contents. It smelled like rotten eggs and though the genasi drank a lot of alcohol during his lifetime, this stuff doesn't look fine to drink at all.

Alton safely reaches the wooden door. The insignia on it clearly resembles what the guardian described to them. The large beam locking the door has signs of old age but seems sturdy and heavy enough to do its job.

(Roll a strength check if you want to remove the beam.)

Sandral keeps his eyes out at any giant ants. His determination to find insects finally pays off when he sees a line of ants crawling at the room's wall, transferring a broken piece of rotten fungus inside a tiny hole.

Meanwhile, Kirpo answers back to Rinc.

"You may not know but Guras doesn't want to look like a coward so he always acts tough, but he knows instinctively when an enemy is dangerous.

As you can see, our kind are not the bravest and smartest of the bunch and our tribe warriors are compromised by eager yet foolish types of kobolds.

That's why he always show off his skills to his fellow warriors and lead them to safety whenever he can."

Kirpo sighs as he continues rambling before slapping his face to hype himself as he answers more of Rinc's question.

"Anyway, that's for another time. You're asking about the mushrooms right? From what I know, the mushroom outside are called Ripplebark. I thought the stench of rotting flesh was very nostalgic and when I saw it, I'm sure it's the same as the one our tribe were growing in our farms. They can be eaten raw but they taste better when roasted on an open fire. I'm already drooling just thinking of it.

But for these other three, I know that our tribe used to grow these kind of fungus before I was born. I tried finding some of these on the wild but it seems they can only grow underground.

Elder Nimbar, though he was forgetful, always told us he used to make good ale with this stuff before he died of old age. His family would love to have this fungus.

Good thing this ancestor you were talking about told us this place."

Kirpo nods with approval as Rinc shared a helpful information to him before stopping immediately as he tilts his head sideways.

"What do you mean 'my' ancestor? When did you met him?"

Sen'ra will wrinkle his nose at the drink and turn to whoever is trying to lift the bar. "Need some help? I can axe it down."

"Yes please take care of this door. I would but I am not exactly known for being a paragon of strength." Alton says as he rubs his head and steps to the side of the barred door.

"Alright, let's do this."

Sen'ra will axe the door down.

(Make an Attack roll against the wooden door.)

(Watch me miss hitting a door)

Att: 9

Dmg: 14

(Never-mind, thank god.)

"Well, some old dead warrior..he loaned us some weapons, the Axe and the Shield my comrades have to help defeat the ancient enemy. Back underneath the dragon statue was his crypt"  

Rinc turns towards the sound of an axe on wood.  "We'll have time to gather some mushrooms later, it looks like we are about to enter."

Sen'ra sucessfully breaks the door with his axe, revealing the room's contents.

At the center of the room, three stacks of fifteen barrels total are placed on top of an elevated wooden beam supported by wooden wedges in between.

Thick cloth seperates the stacks and the barrels are arranged in increasing number from top to bottom and sideways, making the structure stable.

Stamps of the same insignia from the door Sen'ra destroyed are placed on the barrel's head and on its side.

On the left, a battered brick-lined well with a small tile roof attached with a block and tackle. A pail can be seen hooked below it and the rope tangled and left on the ground.

Alton walks into the room, walking right through the legs of his companion thanks to his small size. He will look at the barrls with passing interest but will be more interested in searching for signs of recent life besides their own.

Investigation: 11

Sen'ra will investigate the barrels

Investigation: 18

Rinc heads right to the well to see if he can get some usable water.

investigation:  1

After scrutinizing the place for a good amount of time, Alton concludes that from the state of the place this place hasn't been visited for a long time just like the abandoned kiln.

Sen'ra finds that the four barrels consisting the top row were empty of its contents as the spigot's plug were already pulled out. However, the remaining barrels are still unopened.

Rinc gently places the pail into the deep well and lowers it down. It seems there's a gentle stream running below as it softly tugs and immediately fills the container.

As he pull the rope connecting to the pail, he can feel it was quite heavy. He then sees that it was filled with more mud than water.

Logum will go one of the unopened barrels. "I don't think whoever put this here is coming back for it. I'm going to take a look inside, anyone who doesn't want to smell what's in a gods'-know-how-old barrel should step back." He will then open the barrel just enough to determine what's inside.

"So it seems noone has been here in quite so time. Perhaps we should be on the look out for yet another sentient statue that will ne able to help us." Alton said as he moved into the room more.

Sandral keeps an eye out while the others are checking things out. "If in doubt, it is somewhere to potentially rest once we have gathered provisions."

Rinc will look for some cloth to use to filter out some drinkable water..."Is anything in those barrels drinkable?"  

Worst case he will tear off a piece of clothing and use it to recover some water out.

"We can always start distilling some water again." Sandral advises. "If it is murky, then pass that old lantern across again. It will just be like uncle's brewery back home."

Logum pulls the spigot on one of barrels stacked in the middle, spilling some of the ale in the process to the ground.

The earthy smell of spices emanates from the spilled liquid and delightfully tingles the nose of those near it.

While others are occupied by the smell of alcohol, Sandral sees that Kirpo and Guras are busy picking small portions of the three different types of fungus within the room.

(Sandral, roll a Perception check with advantage.)
