Toc looks to the other, his blade out, ready to speak the command word, then stops and looks at the group. "Why would they light the crane on fire if they didn't know they were being followed? I suspect a trap. And I'm exhausted from our previous fights. Shall we have a short rest here, in this place, before travelling through?"
If the group concurs, Toc will take a short rest and do some arcane recovery for 3 - 1st level spells.

"I suspect it was part of their exit plan. Burning the rope to prevent anyone else somehow coming this way. It's unlikely they heard us or knew we were coming. Any further delay risks losing them on the other side." Ulric looks ready to keep moving, "However if everyone needs a rest, it may be the wisest course of action, we have no idea what is on the other side."
Is there anywhere to go down here, or is it just the bottom of an empty hole? I thought it was the latter. If it goes somewhere, I guess we follow Germain. If there's no where to go, Toc makes sure everyone is ready for a tussel, and then says the magic word.

No where to go, just the well and the command word...
Toc says the command word and... You are elsewhere.
Dark pine woods are all around on the slopes of a mountain valley; the air is cold and fresh. Two ancient stones stand to either side of you, and no more than a bowshot ahead along a path is a large house, with stone on the ground floor, timbers above. Within sight are more standing stones. Pine branches shift and sway in a gusting, fitful wind. A squirrel chitters and then falls silent.
Looking at the standing stones... The mossy stones are old and weathered; lichen covers most of their surfaces, but traces of white paint remain in a few of the grooves.
Taviel called Nissa closer, lowered the hood of her black cloak, stepped into the shadows and tried to be as unnoticeable as possible while studying the house ahead.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Germain moves back and begins to quietly flank to the side, attempting to keep an eye on their surroundings to make sure nothing sneaks up on them while they approach the house.
You all attempt, to lesser and greater abilities, to take cover as you look over the building...
This ancient building has a wood and plaster upper floor over a fieldstone lower floor: its shuttered windows are all closed. The roof is completely overgrown with moss. A single door stands slightly open. Smoke pours from one of three large chimneys.
The lodge stands in a forest, among tall pines and in excellent hunting territory.
There also appear to be stone outbuildings located behind the lodge, near a well and a woodpile.
Toc nods to Ulric, and begins moving forward quietly towards the house. "Or they may have simply 'passed through' and gone to that other set of stones over there. I doubt the word is the same. Can anyone check for tracks? We may also need a prisoner so we can learn the other gates command word." (Toc will HELP with a survival check.).

Naroth is quickly getting annoyed with all this supposed leads ultimately getting nowhere and tries to follow the group as quietly as he can towards the house. Keeping an eye over his shoulder for anyone trying to sneak up behind them.
Moving towards the building Germain is able to see that most of the prints lead from their stone to the building. A few go around to the buildings behind the main structure, but most go straight to the front door.

Germain nods and moves to keep an ear out for anyone approaching.
"Maybe they did not mean to return? Any of them. But I agree, barging in tired is unwise." She sat with others for a short rest.

You all take a short rest. No one bothers you while you do so.

"Our adversaries could be inside, or they may have passed by. We should assume whoever is inside is hostile. Lets go take a look."
Ulric says quietly.

Taviel was not much of a tracker but she tried to follow the group quietly, to at least not to interfere with the search.
