Olen believes this to be a regular, old compass. Of course, it has the insignia of House Cannith on its face and is made of gold. So a bit more valuable then your run of the mill trinket.

"Yep!" Vasha follows along behind Shroud, but stops at the entrance, "Now now, everyone in! We want to make sure everyone....has....a fair share! Yeah, everyone gets a fair cut."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Copper trots down the stairs behind Olen gingerly, axe still in hand. "This shit's nothin compared to the payoff we'll get for the schema anyway." he says as he glances around with his glowing green eyes.
A flight of stairs descends 10 ft. to what appears to be a storage room. In each of the opposing corners stands crates and barrels in a seemingly poor condition. A large table by the western wall features a few items on top and two crates underneath. On each of the 3 opposing walls can be seen 3 identical swords, 9 in total.
As you enter the chamber, a noise disturbs the peace in the room; a screeching sound of metal on metal. Copper, there are some lingering effects of your detect magic spell going off as this occurs. Some of the swords on the walls start to vibrate and detach from their mounts. Most of the swords only fly for a few seconds before falling to the floor inert. The others float in the air as if an invisible warrior were wielding them.
They swing and whirl as you sense their killing intent on you all!
Notes: You are all standing either in the hallway near the room or in the first 3 tiles into the room. Let me know by using my, poorly, drawn map below where you would like to be standing. The numbers are the enemies, who are both identical flying swords seemingly wielded by an invisible foe. (There are more letters than there members of your squad so that you have more options on where you'd like your starting position to be.) ________________________ I I I [1] I ------------------------------------------------ [E] [G] I [A] [B] [C] [D] [F] I ------------------------------------------------- I I [2] I ________________________ (Trapped at work for right now and I figure the full map isn't really too spoilery at this point since you guys will probably visit it. :P )

If anyone else engages in melee with one of the Floating Swords, Olen will move into melee alongside them so he can get sneak attack (SA on a floating sword?!)
Otherwise he would pull out his shortbow while backing up against the wall, and shoot form there.
Option 1: Melee
Move: Move up to floating sword currently engaged with a party member

Kinnik comes back to himself with a shake of his head. His companions are all around him, and the floating swords are advancing, just as they were what seems like hours hours ago...
Kinnik quickly ducks behind Cap (stealth: 26) and peers at the space between the swords to determine whether they themselves are enchanted or if their wielder is invisible.
Investigate: 7
If they appear to be controlled by an invisible fighter, he whips a dagger at that space. Otherwise he aims for the sword engaged with Shroud.
(Please make your turn, Vasha! The letters are just so I can tell where you move and how you do it. I will bring up a battlemap for this fight once I have everyone's positions.)

(Sorry, had a long drive ahead of me and wanted to be sure I grabbed a space appropriate to the situation.)
Vasha draws heat from her coin, then causes it to combust into a small mote of fire which she flings at the nearest pair of swords.
(Not sure if I should roll with disadvantage here, so just in case... Firebolt: 9 or 21 for 9 damage)

Cap starts at D and moves forward toward one of the swords, readying an action to attack once Shroud comes up and attacks, so that he can get off a sneak attack.
Attack: 18 Damage: 10 Sneak Attack: 3

"Looks like this is just a quality Cannith antique compass. Should fetch a nice price, but its not what we are looking for."
Olen stashes the Compass in his pocket and heads back out into the hallway,
"So, where to next?"

"Is that over here Vasha?"
Olen points to the north passage that heads off from the current hallway.
Olen heads down the side passage and then down the stairs, taking a look around with his torch once more in hand.

"Oh of course Vasha, we will pool and then split what we sell, at least that was my understanding."
"Everything we find down here has been a group effort, it wouldn't be fair not to split the findings."
