A Curse of Strahds [IC]

“How’d you get in here little guy?” Lae asks the dog. “I don’t suppose any of you can speak to animals?” he chuckles.

"Nope, and personally I'm more concerned with how we plan to divide up the spoils we just acquired." 

"We have this Short sword worth roughly 110, a ivory and silver hairbrush for 25, 3 moss agates at 10 each, that eye patch for about 50 and 11 gold. Did I leave out anything other than the human scrotum?" 

Pfft. Zander lets a little laugh escape. No, that sounds like all we found here. Honestly, I say we let someone use the silver sword, that's worth more as a monster-killer than treasure. The rest we can sell and split the gold. Sound fair?

“I don’t really care... we’ve more pressing matters with this “monster”.. however you want to split it is fine. Let’s move on to this other door.”

Indeed. Does anyone want to use the shortsword right now? If not let's put it all in a pack and carry on.

OOC: is it a slivered shortsword or a silvered shortsword? 

(%*@$ autocorrect....the Sword is silvered.)

There are not really doors in this area, just openings into the room(s). You exit and climb a short staircase  (these "short staircases" are only about 5' long). You see another short staircase in front of you with a tunnel for about 5' which then turns west. At the top of the current steps, in addition to the steps in front of you, there is a tunnel stretching to your right (also west).  You can see it goes for about 25' before going down a staircase. You think you can tell there is another hallway south at the top of the descending staircase.

"I have no need for a silvered shortsword other than the price it will fetch." 

Lae, you're kind of our front-man, would you like the sword?

All these ways to go... Should we go down, or finish checking around this floor?

“Thank you, but I have my mace and quarterstaff. Let’s try going further down.. I imagine this monster will be in the deepest part of this place.”

You take the tunnel to the right. (I need a Marching order again.)

I'll ready my crossbow and get behind Lae. 

(So is Lae, Zennas, Zander, Necros, Embir ok?)

As you go along, you notice an absence of footprints in the dust here. The chanting gets noticeably louder as you travel down this tunnel.

After you travel about 10 feet, the dog has been sniffing around at your feet, Lae, and suddenly moves in front of you, turns, and starts growling at you.

OOC: Can Lae discern why the dog might be doing this?

(Roll perception)
