Gillain tries to stand as still as possible, while Tio gets the last few rats off her. “Oh gods, how many of them were on me?!”, she asks her, “No, don’t tell me! ...uhg!... it felt like hundreds!”. She gives one last convulsive shudder. “Thanks Tio. That was awful”.
She turns to everyone, “Is everyone okay? Oh my, Dmitri, are you alright?”.
Toi: The swarm of rats made a hole about 2 ft. in diameter.
Dmitri: Dimitri responds to the inquiries. 'I am alright my friends. it is just a little blood and things." he says as he tries to wipe the gore from himself.
The party realizes they have been exploring for the better part of 2 hours or so they reckon. After checking on each other and the whole, what are the party's next moves?
“Right!...” Gillain says, “Two more doors I think, up here...”.
”Or does anyone want to look up through that hole? I can try and lift someone up there”.
If anyone’s keen to check up through the hole, Gillain will try to lift them up. Otherwise, she’s happy to lead on through the next door across the hall...
Ermren chuckles at Gillain's offer, "Miss, I think I'd have more luck lifting you up there than the other way around. I'm willing to do so if you'd like, but I'm happy to keep moving and solve this place."
"I distinctly remember us very nearly shovin' me into a dumbwaiter, I don' see any reason to try stuffin' anyone into any small spaces in a haunted bloody mansion," Bob grumbles gruffly. He turns his attention toward the new room, peering inside once the door is open.
Perception (assuming we aren't attacked or anything): 19
Boosting James up through the hole reveals very little. James isn't able to get his head up only about 4 inches before his head hits the ceiling. James looks around and to his astonishment, the north and south sides of the hole are sealed off by floor beams for the next floor. the east and west sides of the hole only go about a foot into the flooring and are sealed off as well by 2'x4' s. There is no logical explanation of where the mass of rats came from.
You pass the Suit of Armor it comes to life.

Tio nods as she looks up at the hole “I doubt we could actually fit inside... did any on you want to try?”
[How big is the hole the swarm made?]

“Let us continue to clear this floor.” Tio will lead the group to the next set of doors. She will head to the closest one.

Ermren follows along at the rear of the group, “Why’d we have to explore such a big house?”

Gillain isn’t prepared for the armor to move this time, and is caught flat footed. Quickly she tries to compose herself ready to fight...
