ooc; hmmmm, well I've yet to poke either of the PCs we've lost, have any of you contacted them? also I'm not sure if there's anyone available in the tavern (is there?). That said, I can NPC Kaz as needed, but my feeling is once the current scene has run it's course, there would be an opportunity to recruit 'additional support'. So let's keep the option open, but for now let's finish the current scene and see where we are.
IC:
The group carefully edges their way down the smaller rough cut tunnel, coming to the corner. Unable to detect neither sound, sight, nor scent of anything awry, Jehen pokes her head around the corner and sees the tunnel continues on for 10' before opening up into a smaller chamber.
From her vantage point, it looks like a barracks of some sort; she can glimpse many cots and a few wooden chests set before them. The chamber is devoid of any figures.
Perhaps most interesting though is a large standard spiked into the stone of the back wall; white cloth emblazoned with a compass circle, the cardinal directions in sharp relief, while in the middle is a single brilliant ruby red rose, it's petals in full bloom.
