Debauchery chuckles, appreciating Slink's bravado and humor. "Yes, let's dance shall we." He follows the others toward Area25.

AREA 25

A 4-foot-diameter well shaft with a 3-foot-high stone lip descends 30 feet to a water-filled cistern. A wooden bucket hangs from a rope-and-pulley mechanism bolted to the crossbeams above the well.

Five side rooms are here and look like quarters. Are people living here? Why are these here? Each room contains a wood-framed bed with a moldy straw mattress and a wooden chest to hold personal belongings. Each chest is secured with a rusty iron padlock that can be picked with thieves’ tools and a successful DC 15 Dexterity check.

"Well, guess I'll get started on these locks, hmm?"  Slink says as she stows her daggers and pulls out her tools.  She enters room A and attempts the lock.  "Dammit!" She curses..."Felix, can you blast this one like you did the last one?  These locks are tough."  She says as she steps back, shaking her head.

Lock A 12

Felix's third eye opens as he blasts towards the lock, "I still do not understand what was going on down here. A cult?" 

Attack: 7 Damage: 6

Room A has a chest that is locked and a scorch mark on the wall that's not even close to it. Time to try another one.

"Alright then, moving on." Slink gives the lock a rude gesture and moves on to room B.

Lock B 22

Success! This room’s chest contains three moss agates (worth 10 gp each) in a folded piece of black cloth.

Debauchery looks to Slink. "If you'd like, I could try that other chest. I'd just need to borrow your tools for a second," he winks. "In another life, I was quite handy with them."

"Since apparently in this life I am not very handy be my guest"...she hands them over..."just be careful with my ladies."  She turns to go to the next room..."Just know that I will probably either laugh at you or curse at you depending on the outcome."...her voice teasing.

Debauchery moves to the chest that they failed to open and tries his hand at opening it.

Don't Be A Tool Check: 9

It remains locked. You are, i'm afraid, a tool.

Slink snickers..."Third time is not a charm.  That chest is a lost cause."  She holds out her hand for her tools.  "Perhaps my ladies didn't care for the way you held them, you may need to practice more."  She says in a provocative voice then gives him a teasing smile and a wink.

Debauchery chuckles, a bit embarrassed. "True. Maybe the ladies and I need a little more time together before we can truly perfect our dance," he says, handing the tools back to Slink. He rises, listening to the chanting. "That is, if we all live long enough for that. Let us end this nonsense."

Finding nothing of note with the creature's remains, Sofia followed the others into the following space.  Seeing them struggle with the locks, she stepped up behind them and said, "Sometimes you need a 'less' delicate touch."  The rune in her glove glowing a faint red, a conjured puff of smoke appeared in front of her which she promptly stuck her hand into, coating it with a thick viscous fluid.  Satisfied, she reached for the lock attempting to melt it off the chest.

(Casting Acid Splash to see if we can destroy the lock once and for all!)

Looking into the chest Felix says, Black cloth, underground sleeping chambers, strange floating monsters.... We should hurry and finish this cult. I don't know what they are doing chanting down here but it is getting on my nerves." He pokes his head around the corner to 24

Oricoril will follow Felix he chuckles briefly at the attempts to open the chest, "Surely there's a key somewhere we've yet to see, let's think about these chests after the chanting has been stopped" 

Slink stows her tools.  "Ok then, let's wrap this up before the chanting get stuck in my head. and I have to sing some bawdy tavern song to get it out."  She says following the group.

Acid splash burns away the lock! Inside is a black leather eyepatch with a carnelian (worth 50 gp) sewn into it.

In AREA 24, a wooden table and four chairs stand at the east end of this room. To the west are four alcoves containing moldy straw pallets.

Slink looks around the room..."Hmm, not much here."  She disappears up the stairs and is back a moment later, poking her head out of the stairwell.  "This way leads back to where we came down.  Do we back track or go this way?"  She asks pointing over her shoulder with her thumb.

While the others venture to Area 24, Sofia will do the same thing to each locked chest in Area 25 (So 25 C, D & E)
