(And savages into the thing...)

Cade savages the corpse for a few more moments, ripping it to shreds in his bear-form.  When he realizes it is dead, he pulls back, blood and gore dripping from his muzzle and claws. 

With a growl at the corpses, he pads around the room, looking for anything of interest, or for passages to move on through.

perception (bear form): 20

With the last remaining brain creature defeated Kasian takes a deep breath to calm himself as he tries and ponder what these creatures might've been.  He'll then say to the group, "The place has a lot more... unusual creatures than I would've expected.  I honestly though it would be just the group we seek."  After pausing for a moment, "How is everyone doing?  Do any of you need a breather or should we continue on?"

Nature check on the brain creatures: 4 

Unfortunately, the grell have nothing of interest or no treasure. You have no idea what kinds of creature this is. Where to.

Kasian would head to 6a if there were no objections

AREA 6a - HALL OF THREE LORDS

Statues. Standing atop stone plinths in the middle of the room, facing east, are three 6-foot-tall statues depicting male Waterdavian nobles clad in decorative plate armor.

Bones and Broken Staff. Lying at the base of the central statue are the bones of a long-dead hobgoblin and a white wooden staff broken in half.

Carved into the stone base of each statue is a name: Elyndraun (south statue), Ruathyndar (central statue), and Onthalass (north statue). These names have been crossed out with chalk; beneath them, new names have been added in a language you can't read, unless someone can read goblin.

The more concerning issue, however, is the fact that about nine vampires glare at you from the darkness.

"Interlopers. State your business." one of them commands.

“We don’t wish to cause any harm,” Rowan calls out. “Please reveal yourself, so we may talk this out.”

Persuasion: 19

The vampires draw weapons and inch closer. They definitely look like vampires. You get the feeling that they've been waiting for you. Expecting you.

You get the impression that if you don't start talking fast, something bad might happen.
