After the Medusa Krunch had stepped back and just watched Molo attack. Krunch saw no threat here and was beginning to think the little one was just off his rocker… but it was amusing to watch.
When Kelnan comes and interrupts, Krunch gladly helps, with pulling Molo back or with the investigation as needed.
“What is it, friend? You see something, yes?” Krunch asks.
"I see nothing of interest here... Should we bring our guests down?" Krunch asks. "At least the one did declare an interest in retrieving his stuff..."
(Map: Kelnan picked up arcane signatures from behind all four doors to the north, including the room in which three of you stand, together with something of the School of Illusion near the southwest edge of the map.)

Kelnan:
Kelnan will tell the others about the magical signals, and step upstairs for a moment to ask Bayleaf what he knows of the statue. Is that the treasure he spoke of?
Bayleaf shrugs at Kelnan's question. "No, the big treasure is hidden. That's probably just Odium's stuff. He liked to stash things under that nasty garden statue. You want a tour?"
Meanwhile, Molo continues his destructive rampage. At his arcane command, Molo conjures another ear-splitting blast centered on the base of the medusa. Thunder damage: 13
The top half of what's left of the medusa statue is sheared off, falling and wedging itself against the other statue. Everyone in the room reels at the deafening explosion. The base cracks into three parts, revealing a hollow at the very base. Within it, you find a pair of scrolls in a tube, a gilded tome, and a large silver spiral-shaped holy symbol.
"We'll wait on tours until the destructive little Kobold is done. For the sake of our hearing, and to avoid bystander shrapnel, yes?" Krunch answers Bayleaf.
Talking to the others, away from the prisoners for a moment, Krunch suggests they only bring one prisoner down at a time. And while still in restraints. "Too risky to give them free reign in their own home... I don't trust them to point out everything, but they may point out some?"
"Sure, sure!" Bayleaf seems eager to descend into the cellar.
Kavana the guard, in contrast, sits glumly, remaining quiet, eyeing both Bayleaf and Krunch warily.
Dwal remains at his post, prepared to watch the entrance and any prisoners who will remain above.
"What are they blowing up down there, anyway?" Bayleaf asks with curiosity.

Meanwhile, Molo shoves the scrolls, book, and symbol into his pack. Kelnan notes that the two scrolls each exude an arcane signature, but not the other items.
Kelnan beckons Bayleaf down and examines the scrolls. "Not sure if you noticed, but our kobold friend here is rather destructive. If the treasure is anything fragile, best point it out before he gets carried away."
Kelnan takes a quick peek at the scrolls before Molo squirrels them away. They are spell scrolls. One spell he recognizes - Hold Person. The other he does not.
Bayleaf chuckles at the mess in the statue room. "Odium was sleeping in here. He used to hide stuff under that old garden statue. Ugly thing - it needed this." "They all had stuff hidden away. I just want my boots and papers and stuff next door. You can have everything else. Dunno about fragile. Ozymandius has some fancy crystal decanters he was always a little weird about. Medicine, I think. His room was in the corner." He gestures vaguely northwest.
Krunch watches Molo with a mix of amusement and bafflement, and most definitely doesn’t interfere. Krunch stands well back and will keep an eye on the prisoner in case they try anything.
“We’ll must inspect before just letting you have,” Krunch tells Bayleaf. “You understand, yes? Yes! So it’s agreed.”
Molo sprints past the crowd, around the stairs, and into the next room.
"Boots!" calls out Bayleaf to a rapidly retreating Molo. "Don't take my boots!"
Molo bursts into the next room. A small room similar to the others, he finds this one full of empty weapon racks, empty bins, and empty shelves that line the walls of this room. On the floor is a bedroll of three blankets next to a pair of shiny leather boots.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Molo puts on the boots immediately and starts tromping around the room, flipping mattresses and knocking down shelves to look for more stuff before moving on.
The party follows Molo back out into the main room to watch his manic antics. But Molo finds little else of value in Bayleaf's room - just blankets and empty bins. The boots fit nicely on his small kobold feet, and have an arcane feel to them.
Seeing Molo tromp out again in a frenzy, wearing his boots, Bayleaf calls out, "Yes - give them a try! Nice boots, right? I'll take them back as soon as you're done!"
Molo bursts into the next room, which is full of kegs, bags, and boxes. There is a rough cot in one corner and a great deal of clutter everywhere. Except for the cot, this appears to be nothing more than a disorganized storage room. "Ozymandius sleeps in there," calls out Bayleaf. "Look for them fancy glass things!"
Krunch will point out a couple of things Molo failed to break. "That booming noise could maybe destroy stuff in here too... And those scrolls, if you rip them up and throw them in the air it would be as if it was snowing.."

Molo: Investigation: 8
The room is a jumbled mess. There is a couple of kegs of corned beef and pork; bags of beans, rice, and flour; and two boxes of fresh potatoes. You also find gardening tools, a keg of nails, a box of carpentry tools (saws, hammers, planes, etc.), lanterns, flasks of oil, coils of rope, torches, 10-foot wooden poles, but no glass things.
Molo kicks the statue one more time.

Krunch examines the base of the medusa statue that Kelnan seems so interested in. Investigation: 6
...but he makes even less of it than Kelnan. Just scratches covered by Molo's debris mess.

Molo will push everyone back and cast shatter where the magic is showing up at the statues

Molo takes the treasure! "I'll share it with everyone. Later. On the boat. Maybe sooner."

Molo attempts to locate fancy glass things
He considers where best to shred a scroll to get the best snow as he searches ozymandias's stuff

Molo starts to prepare to destroy everything but stops, scratching his chin and neck.
"Do we need these for the boat? Where's the glass? Bah, maybe it's in the next room."
