Yordis holds the holy symbol, great relief evident on his face. 

"I would have been so sorry to have lost this, it belonged to my mentor and it is all I have to remind me of him now". He says to nobody in particular.

He sees Tilly still searching and offers to help her look if she wants to describe the item to him.

"F@#$! It's not here. Gold locket with a gold chain. Opens up with a couple of portraits drawn inside."

She looks more through everything. She won't be able to stop looking until she's checked everything twice. 

perception 6 (OOG: clearly the stress is affecting her.)

After that, if she doesn't find it, she slumps down in a corner and in a quiet voice:

"Can we just kill this f#$%in guy already and go to sleep?"

Bowlder will look for a gold locket with a gold chain, and asks Tilly to look for his Mason's Tools.

Perception again: 8 (OOG: What the heck!)

k-kill this guy? d-do you mean m-me? ... well then, I-I guess ... I'LL KILL YOU!!! 

And the guard lunges at Tilly and tires to beat hear with a huge club, Attack: 8 Damage: 4

After searching the store room, you can confirm that there is no locket here.

Droogan wholly distracted as he continues to pull more interesting pieces buried in the shelves and bins stands up at the sound...

"Oh good, I wasn't really looking forward to dealing with you in that state. Though I still had a couple questions... Ah, well."

Initiative: 12

Initiative: 21

When it is Bowlder's turn, greatsword attack. Attack: 15 Damage: 11

After the guard is dead, check if he has the locket or the Mason's Tools. (Nasty, thievessing guardses have taken the Precious.)

Initiative 15 and when it is my turn.

Attack with mace 19

Damage, if hits 8

"Oh well, thanks for your help anyway"

Yordis sighs in frustration at the need to kill their prisoner.

Have some of that Guardio 

Attack missed my AC 13.

If Gaurdio is still alive: Tilly stands up with her movement and moves to Gaurdio. 

Initiative 20

Attack with shortsword  5

Damage 4 Piercing

Sneak Attack Damage 1 

Once Guardio is dead: Tilly stands up slowly and spits blood from the weak hit. She walks over from body and begins to methodically cut off his head. It takes a few minutes. She then cuts his hands off with two quick chops and places all three in a backpack pulled from one of the shelves. She throws the  bag by the door.

"Could be useful for a little psychological warfare. If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest. Wake me when it's time to go."

She goes to sleep on some bags on the floor. It's fitful sleep with lots of twitching and a little sweating. If any one dared check she would be hot to the touch.

You may or may not be sad to know Guardio is dead. No xp, took it earlier. 

Droogan finishes his searching and sits with the party playing a flute he found... Poorly

"Such long faces, and we make such progress. Look at all this stuff!"

He opens his pack revealing among other things cook's utensils, fishing tackle, lantern (hooded), shovel, spy glass, a first aid kit, and a kit with rock hammers, various chisels and files, trowels, and course paper, clothes, and oils (Mason's Tools).

"Is this what you were looking for Bowlder? I didn't see any gold necklaces, I'm afraid"  he says to Tilly, though she's apparently fallen asleep.

"I'll take first watch, I still feel fresh."

We have keys from the guards, yes?

Quote from BDaddLy >>

He opens his pack revealing among other things ... (Mason's Tools).

"Is this what you were looking for Bowlder?"

"Droogan, give me some time to pray and rest then I will spend some time on watch too, who is going to follow after me?"

He then settles down in a meditative state to carry out his prayers to his God. 

Assuming we are going for a long rest, Yordis is going to renew his spells but will be happy to take watch after Droogan.

I know there were several requests from us to learn more about the area before Guardio was killed but do we have any additional information from him about which directions things are, distances involved, guard patrols etc?

8 hours rest needs 4 people to share out the watch btw.

if we take a long rest will we miss our chance at escaping while the fughts are out?

This is kind of why I wanted to know if we have any idea how close we are to the arena we were in before, which apparently is the only way out. If it is just round the corner, or at least close, then we could try and rush out but if it is miles of tunnels away we might want to rethink.  We should have some idea of how long we spent walking from the arena to the cell and how long we spent walking to the storeroom (c.20 minutes, tops?) Valentinus only has cantrips left I think, I have one spell slot left at level 1 and Bowlder used a rage so I guess he has one or two more.

DM, any chance of some clarification?

Also, in the storeroom are there any flasks of alchemists fire, if so, I will take several if I can.  You never know when you might need to set fire to something quickly!

Might be practical to escape now, or after a short rest (recover HP with hit dice). The escape isn't known yet, and most of the enemy is probably resting after the arena events finished. The longer we wait, the busier things are likely to get, vs. our party being in peak shape after a long rest.

Up to you guys. I'm fine with any decision.

We are actually in good shape, so yes we could run, but as I said it would help if we knew how far we had to go, roughly at least.

Without the info about what we’re running into a long rest to regain spells could be very useful. We were fighting during the day and all our adventures probably haven’t taken too long so a long rest of 8 hours might wrap up at 3 or 4 in the morning which is a pretty dead time always. The Arena of the 1 Exit might be empty at that time. No need to go deep if we can get out of an early morning arena. 

DM? What's the estimated hour and distance to the arena?

Droogan doles out rations for the party.

(OOG: I am back now -- project completed.)

As far as resting, I'm fine HP-wise to take a short rest. But I'm out of spell slots, so I can't charm or disguise (or thunderwave) us past any problems we'd run into on the run out.

Valentinus searches the store room for his viol, and a drink. Not necessarily in that order.

Perception 2.

I had presumed you still had your foci seeing as both casters have been casting.
