As Balin steps to the top of the stairs, he finds himself in an office of a sort. The chamber is not immense, but it does contain a few items of interest, not least of which is the chair and broken desk, upon which rests a slumped over guard, apparently passed out on top of an open book with oddly red pages. There are a couple of large crates in the room as well as several barrels as well and a stone double door exits the room on the far wall.

Balin will wave to the others to come upstairs.

In the meantime, he'll cautiously seek the room for any weapons. He won't touch the dead man until someone else is with him here above.

A cursory examination of the room reveals no weapons of note. The man has a scabbard at his belt that is suspiciously empty.

Jonathon looks around the room after being waved up, then moves closer to the slumped figure. He looks for any sign of whether the man is alive or dead. "Is he..?" He whispers to the nearest person, glancing warily from the man to the door and back.

As Jonathon examines the guard, he realizes there is a familiar odor in the air, like iron. The guard does not appear to be breathing, and the pages of the book he is slumped over are soaked... by blood. It suddenly becomes apparent why the pages appear red.

Jonathon steps back from the guard and looks at he door, motioning someone to listen at it.

After Kyros proceeds up the stairs, he moves past Jonathon to stand near the corpse. He cautiously examines the body, or more specifically the body's wounds, trying to discover exactly what killed the man.... And after doing this, he will quickly take a look at the book the dead man is slumped over, perhaps removing it from under the corpse if he must do so--simply out of curiosity.

Assuming that someone else among the group likely has superior hearing, Kyros focuses on the cadaver and the bloodied book instead of moving to listen at the door when Jonathon signals to do so.
