As Vruuk lowers the body and begins to examine it, he can tell that the body is less than 24 hours old. Having eaten a wide variety of animals in various states in a previous life... he has a pretty good grasp on how old a kill might be based on the quality of meat on the corpse. The body looks like it died from a number of large spikes penetrating the body in a number of vital locations. It looks the the corpse is of a middle aged man. The holes in the body also appear to have some dark tar around them.. as though perhaps the spikes in the pit could also be poisoned...
The ends of the sheet are stuck in the rubble... basically there is a large bulge of bedsheet with something moving in it but unless you cut it open it is kind of stuck in the rubble....
As the lizardfolk tears open the sheet, a small tabaxi child spills out on to the ground. You immediately recognize it to be Kit. She looks at you with a terrified look in her eye and clings to your leg "Darastrix! it was awful! I was sleeping and then I woke up wrapped in my sheet.. but I couldn't hear anything, It was complete silence.. and then I could hear our brothers and sisters crying and people talking! I think they took mom and dad! There was a loud rumble and I couldn't hear anyone anymore!" The Tabaxi will say, the hair on her back standing up straight as she digs her claws into your leg, crying as she describes what happened.
Darastrix stared in confusion as Kit popped out from the sheet and explained what happened while they were at haggers. It didn't make sense but, it didn't have to. Bending down, he'd scoop up the tabaxi in a single arm, "Do not worry your little head, we will get to the bottom of this and find Ma and Pa."
The lizardfolk calm and soothing as he carried Kit out of the tunnel and up from the basement, making his way toward the parents room. He was lost in thought, considering what could have possibly happened while they were gone and who would have done it.
In spurts of mutters in between sniffs and some picking at, Vruuk conveys all he knows about the man. "... Oh... Wow... that's devious... I think Ma had a hand in that one." Vruuk comments before more gingerly carrying the body. One set of clothing to burn already is one too many. "Anyways, I'm gonna take this guy back to the stairs at least to be buried later."

So as Vruuk makes his way to the spiral staircase to drop off the dead body, he is suprised to see Darastrix holding your young sister Kit in his arms. She is clinging tightly to the lizardfolks arms and looks very upset.
Seeing Vruuk appear from below with a mangled corpse, Darastrix has enough sense to prevent Kit from noticing the dead. "Not your own handy work I take it. We have to talk." The lizardfolk stepping out of the room with Kit as a gutteral, growl escapes his maw. He'd take the young tabaxi to the kitchen in hopes of setting her at the table and distracting her with some food before going back to Vruuk if possible
"There's a book that's hidden here and those people in the village who serve the Silver lady will try or have tried," Ash says as he points to the body, "to find it," he adds.
“Well we gotta stop dem bad folk from finding it den!” Pok’im pronounces. He thinks for a minute and says “but how we do it Ash? What you want Pok’im to do?”
Ash goes to grab one of its dangling arms to examine it and it pulls away from the rest of the body and falls back into the pit.
Pok’im looks at the one-armed corpse that is draped over Vruuk’s shoulders and says “Pok’im thinks it is ‘armless, Vruuk." He looks around at the others and says “did yuh like Pok’im’s funny, he thinks it was clever!”
"Oh I think we need to talk to the villagers but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it," Ash replies with a sigh. He then looks at the gore on his hands and shudders slightly. "I...I honestly don't know," he adds with a frown.
Ash continues down the tunnel mindful of the plates Vruuk pointed out.
OOC: Straight dex or ??? Not really sure how you want me to proceed and roll what to avoid the plates.

"I...I honestly don't know," Ash adds with a frown.
Pok'im looks dissapointed at Ash's comment and says "Ash, you don't know if you liked Pok'im's funny. Poki'im is sad! He will have to try harder next time."
Vruuk had been holding in a laugh at first over the joke. Seeing Darastrix and Kit however, he quickly wiped the smirk off his face during an awkward scramble to hide the body behind his back. All he can manage is an awkward nod in agreement with Darastrix. "Oi! Chompers found Kit! Said we need to talk. I'm gonna go e'aed and see what's up."Vruuk starts making his way up with the body tow. Only after climbing up on top does he realize the mistake and awkwardly went back down to set the body aside before going up to meet Darastrix.
"Where'ja find her?"He asks as soon as he sees the Lizardfolk again.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing Darastix put Kit in the Kitchen, Pok'im says "Darastrix you go talk ta others, Pok'im will look after Kit."he thinks and says "Pok'im will make pancakes - you like pancakes, Kit?" Pok'im starts getting out all of the things he has seen Pa use to make pancakes. As he works, he always cleans up after himself saying "Pa would tan Pok'im hide if he left a mess in Pa's kitchen!"
Did Pok'im make burnt offerings or something edible (intelligence test) 0
Pok'im looks at the burnt offerings and says "Kit, pancakes too hard for Pok'im. You like fruit?" as he begins to cut out animals, birds, clouds, etc.
( Since Vruuk pointed out the traps, you can walk around them with no problems)
As you walk down the hall, you find yourself standing in front of a 30 x 30 room. The wall on the left side has an engraving female dwarf with no eyes, the right wall has an engraving of a Male dwarf with no eyes, and on the far wall above a pedestal containing what appears to be a book of some kind is an engraving of a man with no eyes as well.
There is text engraved into the front of the 10ft wide pedestal that appears to be covered in dust and dirt.
***Everyone entering the room roll perception please***
Kit takes a seat at the table, still sniffling and looking around nervously. Kit starts to nibble on a piece of dried meat as Pokim begins making her pancakes. When Pokim shows her the burnt pancakes, she will giggle a little. "Looks like you made a batch of black bears and Panthers big brother... " A moment later when he brings her apple slices cut to look like catapillers, he gobbles them up with a smile

Darastrix lifts the sheet?
The ends of the sheet are stuck in the rubble... basically there is a large bulge of bedsheet with something moving in it but unless you cut it open it is kind of stuck in the rubble....
Darastrix realizing the sheet is stuck, rakes across with a clawed hand to open it up.
