(( what do I want or what do I expect? "My father went through here - is it magic? Ok let's go, I'll lead. Everybody ready?" But, as you say, "it's my father" is better than "I wanted to know". And Del carefully made a plan with multiple backups, and still ended alone with Barleyman Original Recipe - this campaign is clearly designed to split us up amongst the planes ))

“As a good idea as the loops are Mindartis I’d rather not have one tied to me. Again....I don’t fight in the front lines unless you want a very dead wizard and again, I normally don’t have the time to adjust before you’re already in the front lines. I’ll hold onto my loop but I’m not being tied to you.” Quentin replies, taking a hold of the very last loop.
Ropes, good idea Lord Mindartis. slipping a middle one on Your Highness, I think you should come with - danger together is safer than safety apart

At Mindartis's suggestion that he go home, the prince only raises an eyebrow and puts the loop over himself. "You know, technically you are not my bodyguards any more," he points out. "You've been paid and given another assignment."

Mindartis grins, "I knew there was something I liked about you. You've got some spunk hiding under that bookish exterior."

Elwin grabbed the loop just behind Mindartis and pulled it over himself, icy mist appearing where the rope rubbed against his frost armor. "Ready."

((Well, nobody has said they actually go in, but at this point I will assume it. Any last-minute actions can be added retroactively.))
You step through the archway.
You find yourself in a large, ornate hall. Behind you is an archway with a pair of wooden doors, which someone has left hanging open. The hall is sinister-looking and has an eerie atmosphere, with a coating of dust everywhere, except where footprints have disturbed it. A blood-streaked trail shows where something was dragged across the room.
Raven hurries to meet you.

"But we are getting so good at it." Raven says with a grin. "Hurry though, I think I found where they have my father, but two fairly worrisome, clumps of vines lay near the door and I thought it best to come back for you guys before moving any further."
((Post 2421 Del touched the archway on the way thru, Investigation check was 15 - he notice anything? ))
Maybe just a disguised door? Lead on Sister Del follows crwth & bow ready

((Del didn't notice anything particular about the doors...though it seems a little unlikely this entire building could be standing hidden in the middle of the fens.))

Mindartis also detaches himself from the rope, looping it up and sticking it back to his pack. "I suppose we should follow the blood trail..."

You follow the trail of blood streaks, and it takes you to the place Raven described: down a hall to what looks like the door of a dungeon (left open) which goes down a stairs to a row of cells, a few skeleton arms sticking out from between the bars. Like the rest of the place, the dungeon is dusty and feels like it has been abandoned for a while.
Halfway down the corridor, a couple of what looks like heaps of vines sit beside one of the doors.

Mindartis looks at the heaps of vines, trying to gauge if they're alive or dead.

Quentin takes the opportunity to cast Mage Armor on himself saying, “Let’s try and stick together now. We’re in unknown territory and worrying that you just rushed head first into death is becoming too familiar of a feeling for my taste.”
Using Viia to Speak with Plants Del calls to the vinepiles - You should probably just go away. Now. Intimidation 18

The two vine heaps turn to look at Del suddenly--two more Vine Blights--and back away in terror. They might run, but you are blocking the only exit to the dungeon.
((Vine Blights understand Common...but I am going to take a leap and say they would understand Speak with Plants. Though that seems like it opens up a can of worms, such as could you overcome language barriers with Speak with Animals, considering we are all technically animals.))
