Sol Rhea: The door to this back room hangs loosely on broken hinges. The cramped chamber beyond smells strongly of sour fish and vinegar. It is filled with discarded ropes, canvas tarpaulins, and splintered wood from smashed barrels.

You can hear ragged breathing coming from under a tarpaulin at the north end of the room.

What do you want to do?

Dewey looks up and sniffs the air. His eyes narrow in pleasure. The delicate aromas of fish and vinegar remind him of simpler times. 

Randy checks the door to the room to the North.

Sol moves cautiously towards the sound "who's there? Are you hurt?"

Randy: The door swings open with little effort and within seems to be the office for the warehouse. The room has a desk, a chair, and bare shelves covered with dust and draped in cobwebs. Harmless rats skitter about.

A closed door leads further into the office.

Sol Rhea: You hear a man's voice from under the tarpaulin.

“Are--are they gone? The bird-men?”

He sounds scared.

Randy listens closely at the door to the inner office.

Randy: Make an investigation check. 

"Mostly. We have one tied up...what happened here?" Sol answers, keeping a bit of distance. 

Randy's investigation = 12

“I’ll kill the last one if it makes you feel safer.”  Dewey adds as he winks at the Kenku. 

Randy: You hear nothing but the sounds of skittering rats.

Sol Rhea: The hidden figure removes the tarpaulin from himself and reveals a handsome man dressed in expensive looking clothes. He is marred by grime and the lingering stench of rancid pickled herring, but he retains a noble air about him.

“I thank you for dispatching those hideous creatures.” He gives Sol Rhea a bow, then looks around at the rest of the party. “I am Renaer Neverember. To whom do I have the honor of speaking?”

Randy readies a firebolt and then opens the interior office door.

“What’s your name again?  Chances are I’ll never remember.” Dewey says and laughs uproariously at his own joke. 

Sol gives the proper bow back "Hello, I am Sol Rhea Xanovar and these are my ...uh.. associates. "

“You get it?  Neverember?  Never remember?”  Dewey asks and then throws his hands up in frustration.

As he wanders off again, Dewey can be heard muttering to himself about landlubbers and their lack of a sense of humor. 

"Greetings, new friend!" says Kevin.  "My name is Kevin.  A pleasure to make your acquaintance." 

Randy: You open the door to reveal more offices full of dusty office equipment.

A quick search of the rooms turn up only one item of interest, an unused Paper Bird.

 After grabbing the Paper Bird, you hear voices downstairs. It sounds like the party is introducing themselves to an unfamiliar voice.

What do you want to do?

Randy pockets the paper bird and goes down stairs to see what the others have found.
