Raya - you search through the various vials and find a few that look interesting - a green one, one that looks like powdered nightshade, and a silver one that is probably mercury. 

Delg shoves the unconscious man at Ajax, leaves and then returns with the other one you had left tied up.  He is now conscious and very angry.  He struggles against his bonds and Delg, yelling, but growing quiet as he sees his dead friends.  As they enter the lab, his eyes grow wide.  "Wha - what do you want?" he whispers. 

"A million gold and an outhouse made of platinum. But that's not important right now. What is important is that you tell us everything you know about this Glass Stick guy, the Black Spider, and you're operations here. I don't want to have to hurt you any more than you want to be hurt. It's not too late to change your ways and we all leave amicably. So, out with it good sir."

(Persuasion: 12)

Raya will store the vials, she'll need to get the green one appraised when she gets back to town.\

After storing the vials she'll head to where the rest of the team is "We should get a move on then, where to next? There?" pointing to the unexplored hallway (between room 0 and 11).

DM: Can we see down the hallway at all? does it look like there's another room or opening somewhere?

Gaping at Melkias, the man begins to stutter.  "I - I - I don't know anything about the Black Spider, except that they are Glasstaff's boss."  He gulps, then looks around the lab wildly.  "We need to leave - he doesn't like anyone being in the lab," he whispers. 

((There is a door from this room (11) on the east wall, as well as the hallway leading east between rooms 10 and 11))

Melkias sighs.

"Shame...we don't have any reason to ensure your safety...financially or informatively. Delg, Mulligan...Rid ourselves of him however you see fit."

Melkias will then check out the door (11).

(Perception: 8, and with your permission would like to use a "passive" stealth roll from here on out {ie as if I rolled a 10, the average} unless there is something Im aware of where Im checking out)

The man's eyes widen and he looks around at the rest of the party pleadingly.  "Y - y - you don't need to kill me, please," he begs.  "I'll leave - just let me go."  Melkias goes to check out the door into the next room.  It's not locked.  As he does, the Redbrand seems to almost shrink into himself.  "That's his room," he whispers.  "I wouldn't go in there."

"Drop your weapons and you can go." Mulligan says.

Melkias waits patiently for the other to deal with the Redbrand, although his patience is running a bit thin.

"Yes, don't go in there...usually what is said before untold treasures are discovered.", he mutters to himself.

Delg shrugs and unties the Redbrand. "Wonder if it would be better for us if your friend as more or less than brains than you?"

The man waits, watching as Delg unties him.  As soon as he is free, he backs slowly towards the door.  "Don't worry, I'm leaving," he says, his hands held up before him.  As he turns to run, you hear him mutter, "This lot is as nuts as that mage," then all you can hear is the sound of his footsteps pounding away as he runs. 

As the Redbrand spill caution for Melkias opening the door (Room 11) Raya will ready herself next to Melkias, "I've got your back" she whispers to him. 

She will prepare magic stone as we prepare to go into the next room.

Melkias offers a small smile.

"I appreciate that, ma'am. As the saying goes, dead men spend no coin."

Melkias will slowly peek into the door.

(Stealth: 12)

Quietly opening the door, Melkias looks in.  The walls of this bedchamber are covered with drapes of scarlet cloth. The furnishings include a small writing desk with matching chair, a comfortable-looking bed, and a wooden chest at the foot of the bed.  At the east end of the room, there is a hidden door that is half-open. The room is messy and it appears the occupant left in a hurry.  The chest is partially open and there are papers strewn around the desk and the floor.  

Ajax takes a quick look at the papers

Raya stands guard and quietly makes her way to the hidden door. She'll hug the wall next to the door and try to listen for anything beyond it.

Perception: 23

Delg will go to the trunk, dragging the unconscious Redbrand with him. He throws him against it, then starts trying to slap him awake as he looks the chest over. "Does he think no one would get this far, or fear everyone could?" Delg muses out loud as he tries to reckon if it's trapped.

Ajax - the papers don't seem to be anything of interest; most of them seem to be orders for various chemicals and other supplies.  You do notice one with a black spider symbol on it.

Raya - you don't hear anything beyond the door. It is slightly ajar and you can just make out a set of stairs leading up in the dim light.

Delg - as you look at the chest, you notice that it has been left open, and you can see the glint of gold and silver, as well as a few bright gems.

As Raya peers around the corner of the hidden passage she sees stairs leading upwards. She'll message the group (whoever is not in room 11) "There's a secret passage in the room adjacent to the lab. It looks like stairs leading upwards. Let's be on our guard and go up together." Raya will then wait patiently, keeping a lookout up the hidden passage while her teammates rummage through the room.

Ajax takes the paper with the black spider on and, if the others are leaving he follows them otherwise he reads it

Delg combs through the chest, taking anything of value or interest.

Realizing they'll never have time to interrogate the Redbrand properly, he ties him to the bed before going toward the door.
