This room appears to have once been a side chapel used by the Citadel’s previous owners for private worship. The ruins of a carved draconic head can still be seen set in the back wall. A long wooden table covered in strange objects sits underneath the carving. Since the goblin shaman took over the room it has fell into deep decay. Small bone chimes now adorn the wall, bowls of mashed blue fungi lay strewn around the room — evidence of the mashes use can be seen smeared across the walls in the form of crude runes and sigils. The corpse of some sort of small creature sits charred and burnt in the middle of an extinguished fire ring in the middle of the room. A greasy bed of furs sits beside the ring. Based on the state of the place (and the smell) you gather that the shaman may not have had all her marbles.
Grom a strange looking doll laying on the wooden table catches your eye. It is glowing with a faint aura (thanks to your detect magic. What do you do?
Investigation: 21 i will walk up to the doll and poke it lightly with the hilt of my axe to see if anything happens...
As you move closer to get a better look at the table you spot an open leather pouch which contains bandages, splints, and salves. You spot a second kit next to it which contains vials and what looks like different chemicals (healer’s kit and a poisoner’s kit). When you poke the doll nothing seems to happen...

Talien will look over the bone chimes and the room, not seeing any weapons to interest him he will turn and leave the room. He will begin to polish his weapons while sitting on the remains of something along the southern wall.
(Along the southern wall is a heaping pile of assorted items, including wagon wheels, broken armor and rusted arms, chests, small statues, antique furniture, and artwork. )
Aldo XP drop from the hobgoblin encounter? And the ones we scared away? (Or not if we will have to fight them later)

Arxius will pocket the statue and head back to find Meepo.
When she finds him she'll sit down next to him and ask, "Alright?"
“Yes. Meepo worried about clan. Calcryx leave Yusdrayl be angry,” he says with downcast eyes.
"Yusdrayl took what was not hers to take. She held Calcryx in a cage," Arxius says gently. "I know you worry for your Clan, Meepo, but I do not believe Yusdrayl had their best interest at heart in trying to wrangle a dragon."

"If she does, we will protect them. Together we are strong. And do not forget, you have fire breath at your disposal," Arxius says, lowering her voice in a conspiratorial manner.
Your head disappears into the cloud of mites for a moment as they try to attack and bite you. But, you’re a hearty dwarf, not to be taken down by a mere cloud of insects and you manage to swat the infestation away and resist its poison.
The cloud heads towards Alten intending to feast on sweet elven blood, but fails to find purchase in his armor. Alten swats at the cloud and it dissipates in moments as individual mites fall to the ground, or fly away to find something easier to infest.

Meepo shoots you a crooked grin, “Thank you friend. Meepo be strong like Arxius. Maybe one day lead people.. leave Yusdrayl behind.”

Arxius, Elven Simic Hybrid Ranger in Tales from the Yawning Portal
As you move closer to get a better look at the table you spot an open leather pouch which contains bandages, splints, and salves. You spot a second kit next to it which contains vials and what looks like different chemicals (healer’s kit and a poisoner’s kit). When you poke the doll nothing seems to happen...
The statue is about two hands length and one hand in width. The figure looks divine, but you’re not quite sure who it depicts.
Arxius will pocket the statue and head back to find Meepo.
When she finds him she'll sit down next to him and ask, "Alright?"

The moment you touch the doll you instantly regret it as it bursts open releasing a cloud of mites into the air.
Please make a Constitution Saving Throw [DC 11].
Alten is in the room looking at it too. 7
