Khaffosi goes from ashen to flushed to sprouting flames in swift succession. He can be heard muttering under his breath something along the lines of 'choking cats to death with turds'.
The group lightly kicks around in the murky water but do not find any secret passages, so return to the room with three doors. There are two doors remaining, the Myrkul door and the Bane door.
Alea looked at the other two doors before taking a long look at the Myrkul door before aiming her sword towards it. "I think we should go throught this door. If the cult is likely to be anywhere it's behind the door of the dead goddess"

Arrow heads to the Myrkul door, pushing the slightly rotting door open. Lying on the floor of this otherwise empty room are the pale bodies of three humans in filthy black robes, arranged in a triangular formation. A lit torch lies between them. A rough-hewn staircase to the right leads down to another torchlit chamber.
Khaffosi shrugs, "Three cults. Cultists dead in two of them. We don't really have a problem until there are dead in all three cults. Unless suicide is evident. Lets go check out the third door."

Hunferho points out that no one has verified that the 3 bodies are dead. (They are on the ground, but are they wounded? Sleeping?) They might have maps or loot on them.
And there is a staircase to the right to another chamber.
Maybe finish here, before running to the last door.

Yes, these bodies appear to be dead, ritually set out. However, there is the slightest signs of life still in them. It looks like they're pretending to be dead...
"Whatever you plan, I'll gladly follow you at a safe distance.", Axandros said to his companions, clearly upset by the mounting body count in their way. This was especially true because the corpses weren't even their doing. "There has to be someone down here causing all those fatalities."

Alea looked at Hunferho for a second with a bit of a confused look before noticing his motions and nodding her head as she “lowered” her guard and looked at the group “let’s just get headed down the stair case, these corpses shouldn’t bother us” she preparing to go down first
action prepared longsword swing at anyone who gets up and attack’s the group
Clearly notizing that something was going on, Axandros was oblivious to what the others were trying to communicate. Because he didn't want to reveal this embarrassment to the group he restricted himself to holding his position until someone acted or clarified what was going on.
As Alea steps forward, the three bodies lurch swiftly to their feet. Their robes shabby, but beneath their confines flails with skulls for weapon heads are revealed, the three figures abruptly move to strike.
Note: I'm probably not going to be posted until Monday after this, for the purpose of this there will be no surprised people in the combat. I'll roll the initiatives to be setup for Monday when I'll continue the chat.

"I don't like any of this" Pogo mutters as he looks into the room with the dead cultist "Should we go and check the stairs out at least?"
Hunferho:
Yes, these bodies appear to be dead, ritually set out. However, there is the slightest signs of life still in them. It looks like they're pretending to be dead...
"Whatever you plan, I'll gladly follow you at a safe distance.", Axandros said to his companions, clearly upset by the mounting body count in their way. This was especially true because the corpses weren't even their doing. "There has to be someone down here causing all those fatalities."
Hunferho keeps an eye on the bodies. He has his hands where the group can see them, but the bodies on the ground can’t.
Hunferho makes exaggerated breathing motions, then gestures at the “bodies” on the floor.
