As most of the group heads upstairs, Vesna makes her way back to the dark and damp basement. The smell of singed hair still lingers in the darkness. She is able to make her way towards the dead spiders remove the venom sacks from the spiders... cutting into their burned and battered carcasses..
roll me a nature check please... unless you can think of a better still to use.
Kitaer, and Daryos make their way to the first door on the left. The number 11 hangs on the front of this door as it sways ever so slightly in the breeze. Looking inside you can see a simple open chest on the ground near the bed and a dresser against the wall. A dusty lantern sits on top empty dresser... its doors hanging open. There is a filthy bed in the center of the room with stained sheets draped over a decaying corpse.
Nesyax keeps an eye on the stairs.. both watching for Vesna to return and making sure that no one else is following them. She doesn't notice anything strange as she keeps a watchful eye.
Stasyn stays back from the doorway, near the railing overlooking the first floor. He keeps an eye on Kitaer and Daryos as they investigate the first room, but also watches the the other doorways and on the second floor as well as the entrance to the first floor.
Kitaer and Stasyn keep their ears open as they search... they both hear scratching and shuffling coming from down the hall... (Somewhere in the direction of the top left corner of the map)
Vesna scrunches her nose as she crouches next to the spider and begins cutting through the scorched body. Oh Selune, lend me your help, she sends a prayer, sighing heavily.

Assuming Kitaer or Stasyn shares what they heard, Daryos tries to quickly and quietly get the team to hide and stay quiet, wishing Vesna stayed with the group as was the plan. He then tries to hide just south of room 11, ready to peek around the corner, his crossbow loaded.
Kitaer is a bit too big and lumbering to be great at hiding but he can easily step just inside the doorway of room 11 and do his best to peek out while trying not to let his horns poke out. He has his greataxe out and at the ready, staying prepared to rush toward anything that may jump out...
Vesna cuts into the remains of the spiders. The guts of the monsters are still warm as she works her way through the inside of the creatures. Eventually she comes across a sack that she feels confident is what she is looking for. With a bit of effort, she is able to successfully remove the sack.
Daryos hears the sound as well after his companions make him aware of the sound. The sound continues in the distance but nothing seems to happen.

Okay, now I am halfway there. Let's try to get the poison here, Vesna takes out a vial, before carefully cutting the sack so she can try to collect the venom within it.
Vesna slices into the sack and venom quickly drips out. putting the vial under the leaking slippery sack, you manage to collect a sample of venom to bring back to Ren,
upstairs, there appears to be no movement... Just the occasional scratching or shuffling upstairs... Daryos is pretty sure it is either coming from room 10 or room 9. The door for room 10 is closed where the door for room 9 is laying on the ground. You can see a pile of rubble and refuse from the hallway in room 9.
As Vesna rejoins with the rest of the team, Daryos quietly informs her and Nesyax of the situation with a possible enemy to the north of their location. He then signs for Kitaer to cautiously advance north while the team follows him.
Kitaer tiptoes (tip-hoofs?) up to door 10 which has the closed door and gently tries the door to ensure that it is closed securely and locked. Assuming so he will carefully approach the entrance to door 9... If nothing interrupts him before then, he takes a deep breath, lets it out, then jumps into the room ready to chop anything in there into bits.
Kitaer pauses, not having expected the door to be locked. He briefly turns around and warns the others that he thinks something is in there... And then barges in.
When the minotaur bursts through the door with his axe drawn, an ear splitting scream erupts from the room and can be heard throughout the upstairs. Loud barking and snarling quickly follows as Kitair finds himself staring at a young teenage girl scrambling across the top of the bed in fear while a large dog wearing a dirty pink bandana around its neck places itself between the minotaur and the girl. "Please! Don't kill me! I can leave! I will leave! I was just looking for someplace safe to stay! Please don't kill me!" She pleads as she backs up against the far wall, holding out her hands which you notice are covered with weeping lesions. The dog continues to bark and snarl loudly... threatening to bite anyone that approaches the young woman.
Most of her young woman's face is wrapped in white cloth, but you also see lesions around her brown eyes. She has curly brown hair that comes down to her shoulders and lays upon a dirty tan colored dress. She is trembling as tears stream down her face.
Glancing around the room, it appears it to be setup the same as other room you inspected previously and there is a small backpack with a few chunks of bread and a waterskin laying on the bed.

As the young white-haired noble looks into the room and sees the heart-wrenching scene he becomes quite aware just how grim the situation is, but he can't afford to lose his composure, the lives of his team is at stake and they could not risk getting infected. "It is okay, just stay where you are an we'll leave you alone child." Daryos says with all the calm he can muster. "Is it ony you and your dog, or are there any others around here that you know of?"He asks calmly, motioning for Kitaer to step back a bit too.
Persuasion if needed to calm and befriend: 18 Another roll if help action is provided: 7
"Yeah, um... Sorry?" Kitaer says, uncomfortable from barging in on a young ladies boudoir. "Down boy... easy there..." He backs slowly out, warily watching the dog.
"We, uh... cleared the spiders out of the basement. Figured we'd clear these rooms too. Of anything nasty, not of you..." he adds once he's basically backed out of the room. "Just wanted to be sure it is safe. Then you or anyone else is free to use this as a safe place or whatever... Not our business." He's apparently forgotten they have the deed at home and it has been suggested that it is indeed now their business.
Stasyn looks into the room with the girl and stops after seeing her lesions. The girl is infected, but she may be useful as a source of information. He waits to hear what she says next.
