Rezak doesn't find any traps on the secret door, so he slides it open.
The chamber beyond is brightly lit by hundreds of sputtering candles that give the room a warm, yellow glow. In the center of the room is a table piled with books and papers.
On the floor is an old man. He lies face down in a small pool of blood.
Standing over him is a middle-aged swarthy man holding a longsword to a younger man’s chest. They all wear studded leather armor.
The younger man shouts, “Stop him! He has slain our father! He is a murderer!”
“Get back you fools or die now!” says the swarthy man. “I’ve had enough meddling and foolishness.” He strikes the younger man, twice, with vicious sword thrusts.
The younger man draws his own longsword and swings it at the middle-aged man, but misses.

"Now, really, boys, is this something we want to do, all this blood and nonsense?" Barek says, walking in behind Rezak, he pulls a tiny fruit tart and a feather from his pouch. "After all, isn't laughter the best medicine?"
With that, he tosses the feather and the tart into the air. The feather slices through the tart just in front of the middle aged man, splattering his front with a fine mist of fruit paste.

By the time that Caridoc enters the room, the others have the situation well under control. He is not convinced that this is not some kind of elaborate trap or ambush. However, he would like to save the elderly man, even if only for the gallows.
Caridoc cautiously approaches the elderly man. But before kneeling down to examine the body, he checks to see if the man has any weapons in his hands.
[sblock=OOC]Kinem. Pleas note that Caridoc has not yet knelt down. If he can't see both hands he will attempt turn the body over.[/sblock]

ooc: The man Celythia shot is the laughing middle-aged swordsman; Caridoc is examining the older, face down man.
Caridoc doesn't see any weapons in the bloody old man's hands, but he does have a sheathed dagger strapped to his side.
The young man doesn't drop his weapon. Instead, he attacks the laughing man, striking him with his sword.
"Listen to me! I can richly reward you if you play your cards right!" he tells the party.
