Rathe, not seeing the spider at all, returns to the group and tells everyone she heard some voices behind one of the doors.

Cadence looks around and aware that Rathe heard someone nearby keeps her voice down, "Resting would be nice. I've been unconscious twice."  Looking at Rathe she points to the chest, "Take your share. It's only fair." 

Rathe nods at Cadence in thanks. "Much appreciated! Do you think that they dropped this chest down here by accident? Or was that beast guarding it? It is an odd place for someone to leave a chest! I am happy to keep a watch while you rest. Oh my. I was that a rhyme? You, my new friend, are contagious."

She'll keep watch if the group's resting, looking and listening down the hall for any change in sound. 

(OOC: how much is the split?)

Velda is waiting nearby, hoping for Nova to fill them in on whatever was waiting for them on the other side of the door.

Rathe insight: 20

Rathe looks at the creature and realizes that it was probably the one to collect everything in the chest itself, a bit alarmed. She still doesn't know why it was there, and what the humans who still live here did with it.

SpiderNova's eyes would blink in succession rather than all at the same time as Velda approached her. She'd slowly tilt her head as an indication that she was actively listening. Although Nova had no way of successfully communicating in a language her friend could understand, she'd let out a soft chatter anyway. Slowly, the druid would push herself away from the wall, and as awkwardly gentle as a spider headbutt could be, Nova would press her head reassuringly against Velda's forehead whether it left her super weirded out or not.

The giant spider would reach out each leg at a time, stepping around Velda before moving to skitter circles around Cadence. She'd chatter in the wizards direction a few times before poking at one of her wounds. She'd hold up one of her extremities as if to encourage her to wait and rest as long as she could. Nova would dart off to pat Fionn on the shoulder before making her way in front of Rathe. SpiderNova would point to her eyes, then to Rathe, then to each member of the group before pointing back at her. She'd then gently drum her front spiderfeet on Rathe's feet, trusting her with her friends while she breaks away to do as Velda suggested.

After a few anxious bounces, SpiderNova would skitter down to the southern door Velda pointed out. She'd scurry up the wall and then onto the ceiling. The druid would dramatically smoosh herself against the wall, sprawling her legs out as far as possible to complete an either legged tiptoe to slip through the top crack of the door for an inspection.

Cadence sits down for a short rest, and to wait for Nova to return.

Rathe keeps watch, though still rather agog at Nova's spider impression. "You lot truly are an interesting group!"

Perception: 14

Cadence shrugs, "We're not the hero's they asked for, but we're the hero they've got in store." 

Velda, sounding very far away, sighs at that before responding: "...Not sure about the heroes part..."

Fionn responds. "Yes we are just Big Damn Heroes"

SpiderNova would return from her retcon via ceiling. Using her web, she'd lower herself down in the middle of the party. As she'd reach eye level with Fionn. The druid was about to begin chattering when she'd abruptly shift back, dropping her on her noggin. "Ow." She'd mutter in a hushed tone.

Rolling over to get back onto her feet, Nova would point north. "Big room north. Rattling sound. Chains? Shouts. Groans. Lots of voices. Repeat." Rubbing her head and blurting out fragmented details so she could remember all of them. Her eyes would look to Rathe for confirmation on whether she heard the same thing.

"But." She points south. "Multiple gruffs. I didn't understand. Then one sounded similar to hugz?" Nova goes back to rubbing her head. "Another door that way too." 15ft north from the one Velda saw.

Fionn helps Nova to her feet   you alright darlin?

Cadence rubs her own head after seeing Nova hit the ground. “Ow. And .... wow.  Maybe we look after a short rest? I think it would be best.”

Nova would nod to Fionn before tilting her head at Cadence, "You mean you didn't rest while I was oot and aboot?!"

(Oh if it was a whole hour, we’re ready to rock!!  Sounds like 10 minutes of scouting to me. 7 healing )

Cadence stands up, dusting off her butt. She points towards the door Nova scouted and looks to everyone with a shrug.  “How bout that way. Well, that’s what I’d say.”  She examines the stone floor in detail as she walks to the nearest wall then follows it to the door. 

Fionn will follow  LAST again

Velda winces after seeing Nova drop. Hearing her explanations, she sets her face: "Sounds like more prisoners to the North. Whatever we do there though, we should try and be quiet about it, we might be able to get the southern bunch by surprise later." She is ready to head of, her mind focussed on the next task ahead.

Rathe nods, and offers to take point again, looking for traps and listening for anything new.
