The interior of the building is accessable through what looks to have once been a doorway, though now its simply an oddly shaped opening in the crumbling walls. Dirt and patchy grass are overtaken by the hard, black-stone surface that the structure is made of and a small entrance hallway quickly gives way to a circular room that matches the exterior of the building.
It looks as if there was once a second level, as a set of stairs goes up, reaches three steps, then simply goes no where, with black stones scattered across the ground and shafts of light making it through the spotty ceiling a good distance above. Amongst the rubble, furnature could be seen: what looked to have been a bookcase, some kind of desk, and various remanants vials and other interesting objects.
Towards the back of the room, there was movement. A more careful glance showed three figures kneeling on the ground, facing the opposite wall and hundled around something that couldn't bee seen. All three looked very short even though they were close to the ground already, with one an entirely soft, cloud-white colour. Next to it was another white figure, though it looked a bit more translusent and its body seemed to have something occaisionally flaking off. The third was the least human looking of the three, and though its shape was about right for its size, there seemed to be scales rather than skin.
All three were also involved in a rather heated, though hushed, conversation in a strange language. They didn't seem to have taken notice of anyone entering the building.
Victor wasn't sure what these creatures were, and at this point until shown otherwise, creatures not meant to be trifled with. He felt the acid rising in his throat as he prepared to breath on the pitiful creatures, then changed his mind for the moment, thinking information would be more useful. Acidic bile still ticked the back of his throat though. Victor speaks in common, "Hello friends, I was were wrecked off the coast of this island, and I could find no other survivors and I happened upon your city, could you tell me where I am exactly?"

Trying to get them to believe I am the only one here. Bluff +21. Diplomacy +14. Readied action to breath a clinging breath upon them if they are hostile.

Listening to Victor's speech, Slim smiles and puts a finger to his lip, holding it out where the rest can see him. Smart move, maybe this can convince whomever is in that room to help us out. But even as such, he gets his rapier ready just in case assistance is needed, although that acid breath is very potent. Slim would hate to be on the receiving end of that.
Valmun is quite content to await developments, though a part of him ponders why, if they'd been seen outside by someone, whoever was here wasn't alerted to their presence already. He took a wand from it's case, nonetheless, and quietly says a command word, smiling as he feels the rather heady sensation suddenly getting faster gives him.
ooc
Using wand to cast cat's grace on himself.

At Victor's speaking, the cloud-white coloured one jumped to its feet and let out a surprised noise that was almost a squeak as it spun around, its body sliding around to give him a shocked, almost worried look. The scaled one didn't move but to turn a fish-shaped head and bulbous eyes to peer curiously.
The translucent looking one showed the same shock as the first did, but instead of backing away, it took two small, careful steps forward. The creature was probably only four or so feet tall...if that. It looked up, curiously and obviously cautiously at Victor, "You will send us back?"
Still holding his acidic breath in the back of his throat as a precaution, Victor speaks to the creatures once more as he moves a little bit forward. "Take you back where? What in the Hells are you anyway?" As he gets closer he tries to spot what the creatures were leaning over.
Cling breath still Readied. How far away are the creatures/how big is the building?
OOC: Building is roughly 50ft in diameter, with the creatures roughly near the opposite wall to where you've entered from.
There were a few moments of silence from the creatures as they just stared. Then, almost suddenly, they all jumped around to face one another and were back to speaking in some odd language...as fast as they could, from the sound of it. While they were discussing...something, they had moved to provide Victor a fair view of what was in between all of them.
It looked to be a collection of books and other random pieces of mostly-torn paper. The scaled, fish-looking of the three picked up one of the books and shook it a few times before tossing it to the ground again then just threw it down after making a frustrated, gurgling noise.
The translucent, flaky-looking one then turned back around to give Victor a more serious look, and this time extended an open book in its hands and said in a more stern voice, "You will send us back."
"To the Hells with you then!" Victor storms forward from his place near the middle of the room and breaths a sickly green mist around the creatures, trying not to harm the objects they were looking at. After the burning acid has escaped his mouth, a noxious cloud of vapor surrounds him and any allies within range of his power.
ooc
Clinging breath again, 3d6 damage, half that next round, DC 19. Usable again in 1d4+1 rounds. Draconic aura is energy shield, enemies take four damage per hit on allies within 30'.
"Ah, Victor, always such a pleasure you are to fight around." Valmun blinks away some of the noxious stuff, and fires a scorching ray at the fishy looking one.
Hearing the yell from up ahead, Jan springs into action, drawing his weapon and moving into the building. He holds them up defensively, trying to assess the situation.
OOC: He'll move in drawing his weapon, then go on total defense. He needs to know the layout of the terrain to see if he can jump/tumble/otherwise use his acrobatics to Spring Attack next round.
