Rees is just going to drag herself over to the nearest wall and close her eyes and sit/slump against it, still coughing. "Right...I'll be here if you need me."
Alten leaves Rees and moves over to Chatra. He grasps his gauntlet symbol of Torm, kneeling beside the prone Chatra. He murmers his prayer and uses another 1 HP of Lay on Hands.
{How long have we been going today at this point? I'm thinking it is probably afternoon at this point? Will probably be time for our first short rest of the day?}
Talien, Arxius. At least you're mobile. How bad is it?
Grom, how's Chatra?
16 medicine check (only +2 so it's a 15)
Grom slaps chatra lighty on the cheek wake up... cough cough cough catches his breathe put his head down to his chest... GUYS HES NOT BREATHING!!!
Grom the poison seems to have knocked Chatra out and taken hold in his nervous system. Luckily, Alten healed him with Lay on Hands, or he would have been left in very bad shape.

You're not sure exactly what time it is, because you have no way of checking down in the depths of the citadel. But, you surmise its mid-afternoon.
Assuming you all take a short rest you all slump down near, or around Rees and break out food, water, and other supplies to tend to your wounds.
Chatra Hit Die: 6.
DM Note: I also need someone to make a perception check while you're all resting.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As they sit and rest Rees will take out her water and rinse out her mouth, take advantage of some hit dice: 7 and wait for everyone to sort of gather near her (because she's not moving if she can help it.)
"Right, well...that was fun. So... maybe we don't just read those fountains anymore. If we come across another, perhaps Meepo can translate it backward? So we can surmise what it says without triggering the magic? Instead of let there be --" she cuts off, giving a wary look toward the fountain and doesn't finish the incantation "--p-puppies. Or whatever. You could say puppies be there let and we can decide whether or not we want to risk it."
Alten throughout your short rest you hear loud screeches and scratching at the door, but preoccupied with tending everyone's wounds you do not pay it much mind and assume its just a couple of rats trapped in the next room.
Chatra groans, "Ughh.. I'm fine now thanks to Mr. Knightly Savior and his magic hands over here.. Arxius why did you have that stupid kobold read that anyway? How about you think with your head instead of your ass next time, hmm?"
"Hey hey stumps she had no way of knowing what would happen"
"Stumps? Heh.. you're just as tall as me! And that is exactly my point... she had no idea what would happen, yet she asked Me-poo over there to read it anyway! We could have died from that gas and that is not the way Chatra Dalwin plans to end his illustrious career!"
"Chatra? Shut up. It's not her fault or Meepo's -- it was an accident. Not our first and I'm sure it won't be our last."
Chatra glares at you, "Sure take his side Rees -- of course you would since Arxius is your girl-friend... or whatever... two one it is then, I'll be sure to remember that later. You know what is funny though... I bet Arxius actually is your girlfriend and none of you other knuckleheads will ever actually get to see her ass. Haha!"
Proud of himself Chatra gets up and goes over to the western door. He leans against it looking smug until, "thud! thud!" something bangs against the other side of the door startling the halfing forward in fright.
Enough! "Let there be fire" could have been a fireball just as easily. Whoever designed this place clearly intended to lure folks in. As the potion peddlers say, "first slug is for free". Meepo - next time, read it silently and paraphrase? Do you know what paraphrase means?
Next - do we want to see what's creating all that noise in there? The map indicates that it is only one room. Or do we want to go back and start moving inward? As much as I hate the rats, I vote for clearing whatever is in there before moving inward. Don't leave anything hostile at our back if we can help it.

"Your jealousy is showing Chatra," Rees calls after him as he walks away.
She gets to her feet at the noise, staring warily at the door and pulling out her bow again. "For the record? I hate this place. But I think we have to find out what that is, I don't relish the idea of it sneaking up on us. We can do it like before? With the rats?"
We can try. Last time we knew there was one rat in the room. We don't know what's in there.
{It really depends on how Fenris wants to rule whether or not the attacks are a Surprise when the door opens and whether the ranged attackers can see whatever it is when the door opens. Remember if you ready an action, it becomes your reaction you are committed to it until the trigger happens you are also giving up movement and bonus actions unless you take them before declaring the ready action. We also knew the rat was easy to kill. This is much more of a borderline case IMHO}

Once awake, Rees rolls over onto her side, coughing violently. "What the hell just happened?"

Glancing back down at Rees
Cough it up. Get it out of your lungs.
Alten then looks back towards Grom and Chatra.
