"Interesting. So the shipments to Strahd stopped at some point? I wonder why. I also wonder if it's him behind this attack. Either way, we have more of this place to clear out." Zander goes back and opens the South door in the room with the pantry.

Lae shrugs, "Perhaps you are right". Lae smiles to himself internally thinking, "Or maybe he's losing his grip on order and power in his own dominion..."
You come to a small hallway that dead ends about 2 feet to your right (west) and extends about 20' to the left (east), ending in a door. The hallway is only 5 feet wide.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"A little cramped in here. Why does this hallway dead-end to nothing?" Zander looks around toward the dead-end to see if he can deduce its function. Investigation: 15

(The hall does have a door at the far end. It is wide enough to move through, but you will have to move single-file.) You find a solid wall, but stopping to think for a minute, you realize the staircase you came up is probably on the other side of this wall.
Zander pushes on the wall and looks for some kind of mechanism for a door. (That's what the Investigation roll was for, unless that's what led me to believe there were stairs on the other side of it.)
If he doesn't find anything he says, "Lae, would you like to go first?"

The door opens. This room has a wooden floor with a ten foot hole cut in the middle of it. Looming over the hole is a wooden winch. Perched atop it is a man with wild hair, rotted teeth, and skin painted red with blood. He waves a gnarled staff made from a black branch and babbles at you.
He babbles some more. You get the feeling that he either does not speak common or, with the wild look in his eyes, possibly believes he is speaking common, though he is not.
"What should we do with this guy, Lae? I think he might be behind the assault on this place, but I don't want to kill him, he hasn't attacked us, he's just crazy..."

Lae relays this info to the group aloud

The wall is solid. So you head to the other end of the hall and try the door?
Lae will ready his mace and try the door
The door opens. This room has a wooden floor with a ten foot hole cut in the middle of it. Looming over the hole is a wooden winch. Perched atop it is a man with wild hair, rotted teeth, and skin painted red with blood. He waves a gnarled staff made from a black branch and babbles at you.
Out from behind Lae, Zander peeks in. "What... are you doing?"
-We are all just one failed saving throw away from someone else's fantasy...
He babbles at you some more and begins to move toward the hole.
"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here? Answer me, or we open fire!" Zander nocks an arrow in his shortbow.

He babbles at you some more and waves his staff threateningly.
(Roll attack.)
“Shit he’s going to escape..” Lae says as he rushes forward and attempts to grapple the man...
Strength Athletics 18
Zander will wait for the outcome of that before deciding to lose the arrow.

He almost breaks free, but you have him grappled.
Since he's grappled, Zander will keep his bow out but not fire at him yet. "Start using real words. What are you doing here?"
