Terrance gets up over Darwin, "Well I guess that's one of us. I wonder who'll be next? We should try to figure this out quickly. We haven't explored downstairs yet right?"
((DM can you give us an overview of who is where etc rn cause to be honest I'm confused.))
OCC: Andolin has been silent since asking about room 3, so I am assuming he is with everyone. That places everyone in the common room, with Wren at the front (locked) door and everyone else somewhere near table C.
You have not explored the rest of downstairs (area in medium blue).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Andolin
Before heading downstairs, if he can,
Andolin will respond to Horus, “I thought earlier that we may find more out downstairs. Pressing the attack may be wise now, but with the others headed down, let’s take a quick look here and then follow. We should keep a wary eye out up here though.”
Investigation check (if DM allows): 617
Following the others, Andolin comes downstairs to find Darwin lying on the ground. Hearing Terrance’s assessment, he quickly heads to the area behind the bar.
This large kitchen has a dead fireplace, a few tables and other accouterments common to a working kitchen. There are also a few barrels and boxes. Oddly, there is no food here, and dust covers everything.
The pantry is empty, save for some barrels and boxes, which are covered in a thick layer of dust. The boxes have some rotting hunks of meat in them, and the barrels have a thick blackish-red substance in them.
Common Room
Watching over Darwin, as time passes his body relaxes and he mutters in his native draconic.
Darwin
In your shattered mind, you are back in the village of your birth, you see the dead spirits of your kin as they form a long line and disappear into the mists which surround the village. Suddenly you hear a woman crying in agony and despair. Turning you see the tavern in the midst of the village. Looking out of the windows are the half rotten faces of the patrons.
You hear another cry followed by a deeper cry of rage and hunger coming from the tavern. A hunger which your spirit knows can never be satisfied.

In this dream like state, Darwin would grab a small emblem that hangs from his belt. A symbol of a tree, covered in lush leaves and hold it close to his heart. "Wild mother, please give me the strength to banish this evil from your creation, Aid my companions in my stead. Bless me with knowledge of my foe." He says all this in Draconic.
He's asking if he could know what this is and how to fight it.

“This is madness...It’s as if we slept for decades, “ Andolin mutters. He heads to the next door to the north, still on the western wall of the kitchen.
Andolin exits the pantry and opens the door to the storage room. Which is empty, except for a single long woman's coat, mostly moth eaten and threadbare.
Common Room
A renewed seizure strikes Darwin...
Darwin
Darkness and Evil once again envelops you, the screams of thousands of lost souls fill your ears. The hungry laughter grows stronger.
Nothing in your experience or training gives insight into this...
Well nevermind (( Terrance nods at Darwin and smiles, "Well it was worth a shot. Regardless you're right it is our duty and I'm glad to have you around as we fulfill it."
Terrance looks around downstairs shining his shield around the room. "Well for some reason there are some embers in this here fireplace." Looking around for some firewood Terrance continues, "Before we carry on lets start a nice fire in this fireplace. It will give us light for the battles ahead, and I'm sure a little bit of warmth would be a pleasant thing for all of us."
Looking around for some firewood if none is readily available Terrance would like to use his mace to smash a pair of chairs and use that to start the fire. Survival: 21 ((Advantage if someone assists me and nothing stops me)) 15 ))
Terrance stays with Darwin watching over him making sure another wandering creature doesn't snap him up while he rests. ((Can I use my make a campfire thing from earlier here?))
After starting a fire in the hearth he'll disarm Darwin and move his weapons 15 feet away. "Sorry friend, just in case you wake up not yourself." Terrance whispers to Darwin as he does it.
Darwin opens his eyes and snarls, His dragon-like ferocity from his lineage showing itself. Baring his pointed, glistening teeth. "Begone from my presence!" Reaching for his Battleaxe only to find it not there (Going with Terrance moving it away from him out of the dream). His eyes turn to the eyes of a predator, Narrow slits of pale blue that burn with ferocity as trails of frosted air seep from the corners of his mouth.
"It seems the Wildmother wishes me to destroy you on my own.....so be it." He lets out a bellowing roar, Letting the Feral dragon take over for a moment. Stopping only to look over his shoulder at his home, He hadn't seen The village of Birthheart in.....quite some time. It was a mistake to show him this, Anger is all he felt upon seeing his home once again covered in flames.
"Forgive me Wildmother for what I must do." His scales flex out and retract, shaking the dirt off of them. Letting the silver shine come forth, He stalked towards the tavern. Clenching his fists as he walked to the door and Kicked it open.

Wren tries the backdoor, but it is locked. Like the front door, it is a simple lock and would be easy to open, except for its rusty condition.
Common Room:
All is quiet, except for Darwin's distress
Darwin
OCC: You were headed into the tavern either way :)
Arriving in the tavern, you see that the patrons from the window are gone. The only inhabitants of the room are your companions (and yourself) sitting around a table. Within the tavern, all of the colors seem muted, to an almost black & white.

Is that all of the first floor then?

Wren will go check the back door, see if it is locked. "What happened to Darwin? And what happened upstairs? What is going on?"
<<I think there’s still more around the corner.>>

Andolin will frown at the coat, then back out and move around the corner to the remaining space.
