Lokat resurfaces after diving his head under the water, scrubbing his beard and hair as he mutters a dwarven ballad to himself, the steam rising from the tub as the water was surprisingly hot.

Briar listens to Clara's words. "The best distraction I can do is more light, unless the others have any better magic." She looks at the small buzzing creatures. "I don't know about using your bees. What if people try to kill them?"

« It might work. I don’t think I’ll loose any. I’ll tell them to disperse if it’s too dangerous. I’ve noticed these last days that they seem to grow in numbers. » . She then looks at Leshana « arcane magic is your stuff. Anything you can do? »

"I can handle the distraction, though doubt if we really need one." Leshanna says with a shrug. "I have a spell that can create either a sound or an image, so that shouldn't be a problem. I just don't think anyone around here would actually care if we go in there." She glances around, having been free to move around as she wished since entering, and not a single attendant having spoken to her about it.

« Maybe you are right, less is good. If the path is clear , we should maybe just get in there. »

Leshanna moves over to where Lokat is merrily taking a bath still. "You done playing around?" She asks with a raised eyebrow. "We found what we were after, but are waiting on you now..."

Lokat flutters his eyes, standing up after putting up the towel to shield his body.  "Hygiene isn't a game, lass!  Just give me a few seconds to dry off, I'll meet you and the others out there just...   get out, would ya?"    Once Leshanna leaves, he'd quickly dry off, slip into his suspenders with his straps on his shoulders, and quickly get his socks and boots on and hurry out to to meet the others.   

"Okay...  we heading down...?"  He looks between the three women and back down the door

"Just as well." Leshanna says with a shrug. She heads into the right-hand room again, leading the others to the handle. Opening it she reveals the secret passage. "Shall i go first?" She asks, moving into the passage, her ability to see in the dark likely making her a good choice to go first.

"Maybe I should go first," Briar says. "If there are cultists ahead, I'm likely to be safest". She is putting her shield on as she says this. "I have got the best armor."

 "Whoever goes first... make sure I have some room to squeeze ahead if things get hairy, hm?"  He smiles, twiddling his axes upon his belt with his forefingers.  It is also noticeably how damp his beard is, still dripping with water for drying in a hurry.

Clara whispers « maybe the one that is the most stealthy ? »
As the group seems to be unsure of the order, Clara takes the lead thinking to herself "I am sure it will work this way" and advances silently (Stealth: 24)

OOC: playing my personality trait : "Nothing can shake my optimistic attitude" :)

You head down the stairs, Clara sneaking ahead. Only the top of the stairs is lit, the lower part lies in darkness. Now that the perfume's fragrance does not cover it, the cool air's smell turns into a foul, sewer-like stench. After spiraling down 20 feet, the stairs end in a wide, unlit chamber flooded with water, that must clearly be the stench's origin. The chamber seems to be hewn from limestone with wooden beams bracing the ceiling. Besides the water on the floor, the room is empty. You come in from the north. On the southern side, two corridors branch out. One opposite to the stairs and one to your right.

Again, the room is dark. Characters without darkvision will not be able to see anything. Also, do you close the secret door behind you? It has a handle on the other side, that lets you close it.

Leshanna would definitely close the secret door once they are inside. (Do any of us not have darkvision?) Moving to the side passage, not the one straight ahead, she glances through to see what is through that way, but won't move down it if it is just a tunnel or something.

Leshanna moves into the water. It turns out to be 2 feet deep. She wades to the right passage. It leads directly into a small completely empty room.

Clara follows Leshanna and whispers "an empty room, that is strange. Let's look around"
(Helping Leshanna to investigate if it's possible, otherwise here's my investigation roll 11)

Leshanna moves into the chamber and looks around... investigation: 18

rolled a 17 in the game log.

Briar follows her companions, touching her amulet and muttering a few words. The amulet starts glowing with a pale green light. After taking a few seconds to adjust to the light, she joins Leshanna and Clara in the room.

Lokat is with the group, both his handaxes drawn.

You find another secret door in the south wall leading to another flooded empty room! Floating face-down in the middle of this flooded room is the bloated corpse of a shirtless male human with knife wounds in his back.
A corridor leading south is collapsed. Another one leads east.
