Curse of Strahd

Skorn relays this information, then checks the other 2 doors they haven't gone through to see where they lead.

The northern door above leads to the Upper East Hall. Glazed amber covers the walls of this twenty-foot-wide, seventy-foot-long arched corridor. The amber doors at both ends of the hall stand open. A closed door is in the middle of the east wall, and three arrow slits are cut into the wall across from it. Cracks in the black marble floor run the length of the hall.

Torvin wants to see what is behind the door to the east 

Skorn nods. Careful now, lad. We should go together, and prepare for anything behind that door.

Torvin agrees readying his warhammer. He opens the door. 

This chamber is brightly lit by red copper lanthorns that hang from the ceiling. The walls are sheathed in amber that has been shaped into bas-reliefs of wizards with spellbooks. Stairs to the north and south descend twenty feet to an obsidian lectern, behind which a slab of black slate hangs from chains. Between the stairs are descending rows of red marble benches. 

Gwyllen stands in the room with the hole in the floor and taps her foot, examining her surroundings.

She raises her voice so that Skorn can hear her - “For some reason, I have this overwhelming compulsion to climb down into this hole. Want to spot me?”

Waiting for his reply, she snaps her fingers and Fiachra flies down in the opening. Hovering above the ground for a moment before setting down tentatively, seeming to be warry of setting off another trap.

Perception - 13

Torvin moves up close to Skorn and whispers: "perhaps Kasimir should be doing the recon....he knows what he is looking for. I understand sticking our necks out for Ireena but he is a pretty high level wizard. Also, what were the terms for gaining the sword....escorting him here and what else?"

 You don't spot anyone 

Skorn mutters to Torvin: Not sure. We have little information about anything, really. And I do not trust him yet. I can only hope he will give us the sword willingly after we lead him through this place.

Torvin will check 16+5= 21

Torvin spots a man behind the podium 

Kasmir runs over to where Torvin is and says to the man behind the stand (lol) "My god man, who are you?" You all can see he wears scorched robes, his unkempt hair is half burned away, and his face and arms are covered with blisters from magic fire.

 Torvin nods in agreement 

Gwyllen quickly calls Fiachra back and runs after the others, her robe flapping around behind her as she goes. Fiachra croaks quietly as she flies along beside her. As she comes up behind Torvin and Skorn, the Raven alights on her shoulder. 

"What have you found" - she comes up next to Skorn and gazes at the lectern.

 You see a man with scorched hair and scorched robes look over at you and hide his face

He says "Please don't hurt us" Gwy you can also see his familiar on his shoulder a quasit.

The man turns to Kasimir and says " I am Vilnius". "How did you get in here alive? Haven't you seen the Amber giant?"
