Ramious mentions he'll take the first watch as the group heads off to slumber. Occasionally fiddling with the bandages Bugs has put around his wounds he otherwise quietly broods. He spends a bit of time looking closely at the ruby, then shakes his head and puts it away. He pulls out his blade, checking the magical blade for nicks. Untouched as always, and sharp. He shakes his head, spending a bit of time cleaning it and putting it back.
When it's finally time for some sleep, he wakes up his relief, Bugs, and crashes hard, snoring within a few minutes.
As he stirs, his eyes fluttering, he sits up groaning. He checks his sore muscles, bandaged cuts, and multiple bruises around his body before going to get a drink of fresh water from the stream, only momentarily remembering the idea of dead goblins floating in it. Shrugging he drinks deeply. He pulls out some dried meat and a carrot and eats them both down hungrily.
"Well, Alyssa, you gave us quite a fright. Bugs, you were no more lucky. But, we really pulled through. I was impressed Alyssa how with a bit of magic potion you were back up blasting spells without the blink of an eye. I gotta start pullin my weight a bit more round here." He grins a toothy grin.
Glancing around the darkness in comfort, he gives Leon an approving nod. "Wonder what other sort of nutty stuff we're going to find around here."
Just before taking the lead, he looks down at his hands, and focus'. The darkness around his legs swells and claws its way up his body and seep into his chest. (False life: 5 temporary HPs.) Looking down at himself with a bit of wonder, he shakes his head then picks up his bag. "Shall we?" He again takes the lead, and padding forward quietly he gets to the door to the north. They been here several hours, if there was anything immediately on the other side they woulda heard somethin, so he pushes the door open boldly.

"I am fine with the ring going to the other wizard in the group." Leon says wiht a nod. "Of note is that the ring there is probably not exactly the best for a wizard to actually wear, but to put spells into it others can use. Some of the most powerful spells wizards can cast require us to concentrate on it. If a non-wizard were to wear the ring, then they could cast those spells as well, and we would have doubled the wizard's ability to use those powerful spells effectively." he shrugs. "Just my observations. I have also heard rumors of familiars being able to wear such rings..."
Traversing the fast stream had it's difficulties but nothing a pair (or three) of wings and a some ropes can not solve. Wet but safe the group was now standing in that short passageway with three small iron doors set into the west wall. The first two are open (and the cells are empty), but the door at the end of the hall is closed and locked.
Bernard will move in there and ask, "What do you see in the cell? If it's a body I could just send in my bigs to bring out its belongings to try and identify it with."
There are no bars there, but a solid iron (or at least covered with iron) door. Even Ramious incredible strength is not enough to break it down. There is a small barred window, of course, to observe the prisoners, may be Bernad's bugs can truly get through it.
Bernard will move up to the door and use his bugs, mage hand, to pull whatever he can see over to him. "No worries friend, its a door that was made to take abuse."

Alyssa would have spent some time studying and documenting their encounter. Eventually, the elf would slip into a meditative state to take her rest
Alyssa’s eyes would open at the sound of others groaning and stirring. Stretching wasn’t a bad idea considering she felt rather stiff herself from the encounter the day before. When Ramious would share words of flattery she’d be a bit bashful. She’d also be guilty of letting out a bit of a chuckle. “Oh I feel it this morning. I’d give adrenaline full credit to my bounce back yesterday.” The elf would offer a modest smile as she worked a few kinks out of her next and shoulders. She believed everyone was pulling their own weight in their own ways.
Noticing Ramious take a drink from the stream, she’d wonder how safe that water was. Wasn’t there acid water? Her eyes would go wide in concern for the tiefling, but when he shrugs she’d deem it okay. For him. Alyssa would drink from her waterskin, though should their water supply be getting low, she would make note to create enough fresh clean water for everyone.
The wizard would review her spellbook as she’d nibble away on some rations. The observations Leon mentioned were also strong and valid points to note. She would definitely be willing to share spells with those who didn’t have any as well. In her perspective, it was the groups ring, not just hers. Though, there was comfort in having it.

When the others would get up to lead the way, Alyssa would hop to her feet, scrambling behind them. She’d stand silently as a spectator as the boys figured out this door. “The doors in this place really seem to bamboozle us.” She’d chuckle.
In uneven weak light of the fluorescent fungus Bernard can see through the small window the skeletal remains of a dwarf in rusted plate armor. The suit of plate is so corroded it broke under touch of the bugs, but a search of the corpse produces a small silk purse, surprisingly intact. Once pulled back it revealed the treasure inside: 8 platinum coins with a very old print on it and a small key that that would not fit any door in that prison and clearly is from something else.
There seems to be nothing more of interest around and no other exit than the one you used to come in.
"Seems like a dwarf and I was able to get a pouch with some coins and a key. Maybe the key will be of use later? Either way thats all that there is here. Let's go back the other way." Bernard says.
Leon has been keeping watch behind them as the others check out the cell. "Still looks clear back here, so ready when you are." He says when the word is given that they are heading back the way they came. He would wait for the others to pass him, then take up rear guard position once more.

Ramious nods, "Good job Bugs! I've said it before, I'll say it again, you and you're creepy crawlies are handy to have around." He absently scratches behind his ear and then rubs his neck furiously before pulling at his clothes a bit. Then he walks away. "Alright, back to it."
Is there still another path to go to down here, or do we need to work our way all the way back? Either way, Ramious leads, being a bit more stealthy as he goes. There's at least one monster round here somewhere they've been unable to locate...
Travelling back was uneventful - back along the river, past the drowned chamber, over the bridge and up the stairs. It seems nothing changed on the previous level either. Same cave with the horribly slippery slopes and rushing water in the middle with the exit into the huge Glittering Cave.
Ramious raises his hand, "I'll accept some help mending these before we have our rest.."

Bernard will open the kit and patch up Ramious and then himself.

Thanks!! Do we otherwise get ourselves a long rest in this nice cave?

Ramious growls at the iron door. "Perhaps I will let the door beat me." He kicks it half heartedly. "Give it a shot bugs."
