Without moving, Dev Messages Normont. "A landing with 3 doors. Should we be in here? The cat's magical slumber is probably almost over. We kind of came in on a whim that seemed like a good idea at the time, but maybe this has nothing to do with Glinnick. And we don't know that we're alone." Normont can respond to him noiselessly.

The teen tiefling moves to the closest door and listens for sounds on the other side. (Perception: 3+2=5)

Dev hears nothing but silence on the other side of the door.

Dev listens at the other doors too. (Perception door 2: 18; Perception door 3: 19)

Dev hears soft snoring at the third door nothing at the second.

Dev returns to his companions. “A landing with three doors,” he whispers. “I heard soft snoring behind one of them. This is starting to feel creepy. And like, I’m the creep. Should we go?”

"How long will the fox stay asleep?" Lokilia asks Dev in a quiet voice. "As for the search here, do we think this place even connects to Glinnick's. If it doesn't maybe you're right Dev." 

Normont had been pondering Dev's whispered question a little too long and is unable to reply directly. When Dev repeats it having returned down the stairs, he is ready to reply though.

"This may not be related to Glinnick's and the Faceless Ones, but something is not right here. I feel it is my duty to investigate. We haven't found a way into this building from outside have we? Other than the secret entrance. There must be one. And does the occupant know about the table? Are they responsible for what happened to the poor soul who now is the table? I don't believe we can just leave that person to his fate without doing at least a little more to try and help", he whispers.

"Perhaps it is enough for now to find the outside door and figure out where we are. That way, we can research who lives here, and who lived here. And perhaps return in a less creepy manner to investigate further. What do you all think? Lokilia, how long will we remain under the cover of your stealth field".

 “Fox??,” Dev whispers, head cocked in confusion, but then taking on a child-like visage of curiosity as he turns to look more carefully at the silvery sleeper. "Ooooh!, fox. Okay. Oh.. well, I think the spell is almost over,” (Damian_May, am I correct?). “But if it was tired before…then maybe it will keep sleeping if we’re quiet. I guess? I mean, you probably know a ton more about foxes than any of us,” he finishes, smiling with admiration at the thought of Lokilia’s special abilities.

“I mean… yeah, that makes sense,” Dev answers in a whisper. “It’s also weird that a place with a transmogrified person/table would be literally right next door to Glinnick’s AND have a secret door and NOT be connected somehow, I guess. I mean, you’re from here. Not EVERY house has crazy magic things happening, right?…,” Dev trails off, ready to follow Normont’s lead whatever the brilliant gnome decides. 

"Very true, however the person appeared to be dressed in fashions that are quite old. And The Faceless Ones are relatively recently arrived, so I just don't know", Normont replies to Dev.

"Now, where is the main external door for this building", he adds, looking around for what would be the front door, still sticking close to Lokilia to ensure he benefits from the effects of her spell.

Lokilia grins at Dev's comment. "I hope every house doesn't have crazy magic things."  As Normont mentions a front door, she glances up the stairs again. "Maybe we should try one of the doors above? Preferably not one where we heard someone sleeping."
