"It got a close there for a minutes, that woman was tough or I was just off my game a lot. I am in dire need of a rest and her "office" might make the best defensible position for it." Naroth replies as he leans heavily against a wall.
Toc nods, "Sure, a rest would be fine. You did good Naroth, it was a fierce battle. One of them even got a lucky hit in on me." He shows a slight scratch on his shoulder. "I wonder where this ring is she spoke of." He checks fingers and toes as the group settles in to rest. "We should also take this cult regalia for potential disguises. We can sell these fancy sheaths later."
After that Toc ritual casts detect magic and looks around before spending some time doing clean up while the group rests. He drags the bodies to one place away from them, tossing anything valuable into an open bag before the group. He pulls out his own paper and makes notes about what they've found. Then he finally sits down to get a short rest and get some arcane recovery and bandage up his minor wound.

Germain will spend the time while the others go through belongings and resting making sure their prisoner is tied up securely and talking quietly with him, not asking any questions, just making sure he (or she) knows that Germain would have been happy to just kill him, but the others had questions first and busy himself playing with his dagger and charging his gauntlets with lightning before allowing it to discharge harmlessly into the ground. Basically terrorizing the poor person until someone comes to question him.
"They left this behind?!" Taviel stared at the map in disbelieve. "How arrogant one can be! This is beyond "overconfidence"!" She collected all the papers (including poems - you never know, sometimes poetic descriptions can be surprisingly useful). If "thorough search" that Toc organized in this place, did not include the woman's body - Taviel could help with that. "The ring" sounded intriguing, she would not mind to find it too.
"Did not the prisoner mention something about eggs hatching and that they were supposed to meet up with the main body of the army after they were hatched. If they are still around does that not mean the eggs are still here? Is there more o this tunnel that we have not investigated yet? If there are still eggs here we should destroy them as soon as possible." Naroth says.
Taviel covered her face with hands - with all that shock from discovery of the maps she managed to ignore the most important thing! The eggs! "Of course. And we are not leaving until we find those." The part about "destroying" we was not about to discuss now. There will be time still.
"Yes, there was stairs we passed on our way to the temple." Valen says as the group is discussing what to do next. He would follow Toc down the rope ladder back into the temple, then towards the stairs down.
Going down the stairs you passed earlier you find a tunnel that runs off in a single direction. Following it you come to...
The entrance to the cave ends here at a 10-foot drop-off. To your right, broad steps are roughly hewn into a natural stone ramp. The cavern below is carpeted with a profusion of fungi ranging from a few inches high to nearly as tall as a human adult. Two paths lead through the fungi: one on the right and one on the left.
Germain will stop back from the edge a little and throw a glowing ball bearing into the fungus to see if it reacts, “Some very good poisons can come from fungi.”

Naroth will descend the stairs try and see which path is used the most, attempting to stay as far away from the fungus as much as possible. Then he suggests taking that route.

Intimidation with guidance: 6 + 1
The single captive begins to spill everything he knows, which is not much.
The cultists still at the camp here were waiting for the eggs to hatch before moving on to join the others up North.
The cult is amassing treasure in the North for some purpose, though he does not know what for.
The hatchery is down in the lower area of the caves.
You have a short rest.

While the others are resting, Germain will keep an eye out, as well as on their captive, and read over the poetry quietly to himself.
(Not injured, and no abilities recharge on a rest.)
The ring was in the treasure you got from the chest in the temple where you fought the half-dragon.
What are your plans after your short rest?

Toc heads back down the ladder, I believe there was a way to descend further from here. He leads the group that way.

As the others head off, Germain will linger til last, and quietly kill the captive before following them down.
