Ajax - glancing at the paper, you quickly read the following: "Lord Albrek, My spies in Neverwinter tell me that strangers are due to arrive in Phandalin. They could be working for the dwarves. Capture them if you can, kill them if you must, but don't allow them to upset our plans. See that any dwarven maps in their possession are delivered to me with haste. I'm counting on you, larno. Don't disappoint me." At the bottom of the note is the black spider symbol you noticed before.
Raya - you wait patiently, listening and watching. You don't hear anything, save for the noises of your companions behind you.
Delg/Melkias - you open the chest and inside you find: 180 sp, 130 gp, and a silk pouch containing five carnelians (10 gp each), two peridots (15 gp each), and one pearl (100 gp). After emptying the contents of the chest, Delg ties up the still unconscious Redbrand and heads towards the door.
((Iarno is the wizard friend that Sildar is searching for. He came to Phandalin about 2 months ago and then disappeared. Delg/Melkias - I assumed you both got there at the same time. You are in clear sight of the party, so I'll let you decide how to divvy up.))
"So did this mage go running for that Black Widow or did he just plain up and leave? From as much as they were talking about him, I was expecting more. Is there light enough for you to see how big that room is? Can he be hiding in there?"
((Are you heading through the secret door and up the stairs? Or heading back into town to meet with Sildar? Exploring the rest of the manor? Lots of options))
Ajax - you can see light coming from another doorway at the top of the stairs. Looking at the stairs themselves, you can see human tracks, and they look like the person who made them was running.
Raya points at the opening right across from where we are and addresses the group "This looks familiar. We came over that bridge but we didn't explore the southern part, did we?" She'll start to head south.

Melkias will also look through the chest for anything with value.

((So I got everything out before Melkias got there? Seeing how much to write down.))
Ooc: could you please refresh what we know about Iarno? Also for the sake of the newcomers
Ajax shows the piece of paper to the others
((Iarno is the wizard friend that Sildar is searching for. He came to Phandalin about 2 months ago and then disappeared. Delg/Melkias - I assumed you both got there at the same time. You are in clear sight of the party, so I'll let you decide how to divvy up.))
((Working it OOC. Right now Delg has the stuff and both are by the door.))
"That would explain Iarno's sudden 'disappearance'," Mulligan says. "Sildar will want to know about this."
"So did this mage go running for that Black Widow or did he just plain up and leave? From as much as they were talking about him, I was expecting more. Is there light enough for you to see how big that room is? Can he be hiding in there?"

Raya is waiting patiently at the hidden door to keep exploring.
Ajax joins Raya
"somebody left in a hurry..."
Raya and Ajax - perception checks, please
Raya's Perception check: 6

Ajax - you can see light coming from another doorway at the top of the stairs. Looking at the stairs themselves, you can see human tracks, and they look like the person who made them was running.
Ajax is aware this could be a trap but...
"it could be a trap but anyway we cannot risk this person tells everyone we are here, come on, watch my back and may the gods protect us"
Said that, we rushes as much as he can without making confusion, up the stairs since there is still light from the top
Delg readies his shield and warhammer and follows.
Mulligan trails the group, wary of any potential attacks from the rear.
Ajax heads up the stairs, the rest of the party trailing behind. As you reach the top of the stairs, the door opens into a room (#7).
((This is the storeroom filled with barrels and crates that you entered previously, looking for the captives))
Following the tracks, it appears the human continued running into the large cavern.
