Though nearly off his feet, the druid manages to wiggle just enough to make Lae's attack miss.
Taking time to carefully aim at the slightly moving and distracted druid, however, Zennas manages to land his bolt at the base of the druid's neck and the druid stops moving.
(Assuming at that point Lae releases his grip) The druid slumps to the ground and his released staff falls to the ground with a wooden clang (like the sound of a dropped baseball bat).
"He seemed important, like maybe he was in charge of this woodland assault. That staff seems like it might be something too. Hopefully not evil, but I'll look at it if no one else has any knowledge of what it could be."

You detect an aura of necromantic magic around the staff.
"Hmm... this is... a dangerous staff Zander... it reeks of foul magic... luckily I have some training in dealing with it... perhaps I should hold onto it?"
"Maybe? Should we try to figure out exactly what it does? Take some time with it and test it out? Or do you think it's too risky?"
“I can examine it further when we rest for awhile and try to extract more properties from it... perhaps we should search the man’s body and the room further now... maybe figure out what he was up too?”
There is really not much in this room other than the winch. Looking into the hole in the floor, you can see the wagon on the loading dock below. You can probably surmise the winch is used to help lift the wine barrels onto the wagon.
"Yes, let's be done with this place. Hopefully killing this druid ended whatever magic was animating the rest of these things, or we'll have a lot to deal with outside. You holding onto that staff, Lae? It might be useful if we learn more about it."

“I’ll take a quick look,” Lae says as he picks up the staff and casts detect magic.

"Yes, let's." Zander searches around the room. "Lae, you should search him, since the two of you were so close. Ha ha."

Lae grunts affirmation and bends down to examine the body looking for any clue as to who the man was, or what he was doing here.
Investigation: 2
He looks as dirty and disheveled as the other druids here, but other than his claims about the staff, you do not gather anything more.
"Not getting much off this corpse Zander..."

OOC: do we have any rooms left unexplored that we know of?
(No.)

“Yes, I’ll bring it with us and examine it further when we rest.”
You make your way out the way you came in. The plant creatures still stand a few feet back from where Necros' fire stood.
