Ged swings again, bringing his sword down through the skeleton's skull. Whatever magic animated it fails, and it collapses in on itself, falling as a tangled pile of bones.

"I think mindless undead like that can only be given very simple commands. If it was told to sweep this room, that's what it would carry on doing forever, come hell or high water." Hestia explains.

"Well, it was disconcerting, that's for sure." Ged says, sheathing his sword and pulling the broom out from the bones. He examines it briefly, then tosses it to one side. "At least we've returned that soul to it's rightful rest. Ugh, that bothered me more than the thing we ran into downstairs."

"It didn't try to attack us, which is always a plus..."

Brystasia nods her head thoughtfully, “Yeah I guess that could be true. Ged I agree with you but the smell from the bellows makes it 20 times more bothersome.” She wrinkles her nymphlike nose in disgust after thinking upon the horrid creature.

Walking over to the other door she approaches it quietly.

On the other side of the door in the room is a short passageway leading to a set of stairs back down to the ground floor of the Compass. Like all of the upper floor, the walls and floor of the passage are clear of dust and cobwebs.

Brystasia looks at the stairs with slight confusion, “Did anyone else see any other stairs?” She gives the question a dismissive wave, “Oh well we should explore the rest of this floor before we adventure downstairs again and we can always go down this way.”

She quietly leads them back to the main hallway on the upper floor and proceeds to check the door closes to the stairs for noises.

OOC: Was the stairs and the lower floor clear of debris and dust or was just the upper level?

Brystasia listens at both of the other two doors along the main landing. There's no sound from behind either, so Ged proceeds to open the one close to the stairs. Behind it is a long, thin room, containing several painted backdrops, each matching the quality of the one found in on the stage below.

The second room proves more interesting. While a similar size and shape to the previous room, this one has markedly different contents. A comfortable-looking bed stands in the middle of the room, with a chest at its foot. A small stack of clothes are piled on a chair to it's right, and an oil lamp sits on atop the chest. Like all the other rooms on this floor, it's spotlessly clean.

(OoC: Just the upper level. The stairs were is a similar condition to the ground floor, and there were footsteps on the stairs you found beyond the room with the skeleton sweeper.)

Brystasia looks at the contents of the room with mixed emotions that are obvious to all that look upon her, “We maybe be able to find out more of what’s going with the undead by looking through this room, but at the same time we might be violating some innocent’s stuff. We all have equal risk in this, I would like to know what each of you think about searching though this room?”

"I have no problem with searching this room." Ged says. "We're here on temple business, and what we find here could potentially save a life later on."

"I'm not all that comfortable with rooting through someone else's stuff, but Ged's right. We need to know just who's stuff this is, and why it's here." Hestia agrees reluctantly.

Brystasia drops her head as she internal debates the issues but finally and reluctantly she nods her head in agreement, “Agreed, but don’t damage or destroy anything and please be careful as the owner my have surprises for those who would trifle with there things.”

As Brystasia crouches down next to the chest she beginning to carefully inspect for anything hazardous.

OOC: Search and Spot Checks and if possible Brystasia will take a 20.

As Brystasia starts to examine the chest, Hestia rummages through the stack of clothes, while Ged looks under the bed, sword at the ready. Both fail to find anything, and move to watch Brystasia inspect the chest.

After a moment, she spots a small hole beside the keyhole. Looking closely, she can see a slender needle inside the hole...

Brystasia frowns apologetically as she points out the hole containing the needle trap to the others, “It’s best if we leave this well enough alone as my keen eyes can see it but I don’t have the knowledge on how to remove it. Maybe we should leave it well enough alone? I would hate to force it ruin it with are weapons and find out someone legitimately owns it but like the whole top floor it seems so out of place… What do you think Ged? ”

OOC: I guess taking zero on the disabled device skill wasn't so smart after all... We need a good-hearted rogue.
