Carrying the sack in his hand, James moves forward into the room. It is quiet and dark; nothing moves in here.
After getting the signal, the others follow him and spread out, Magdalena trying to stay close to anyone with the ability to see in the dark. The easternmost fireplace holds fresh ash, and the stone lining is still warm.
Between the rubble of the obviously functional but messy kitchen, an unused torch can be found between piles of dusty cutlery in the corner.
A pungent smell is in the air, and it seems to come from the side door, which was described by the muckdwellers as just a small kitchen storage area.

James gathers up the torch, takes Magdalena's hand and curls her fingers around the torch "Save this for an emergency although the goblins can see in the dark their vision is limited. Torch light will stand out for miles down here. We could always tie you to one of the others?if we keep the rope sort it should make guiding you easier"
.James speaks in nothing more than a whisper not wanting to alert any goblinoids as he leaves the woman's side heading back to his position at the front he mutters something else almost unintelligible"I imagine scuttling around blind must be quite disconcerting, I apologise."
James heads over to storage room door and first listens for signs of life then inspects the door for traps, once satisfied if is safe he will push the door open and survey the new room.

Magdalena jumps a bit as James presses something into her hand.
“I have faced worse. I will survive,” Magdalena assured him, though he wasn’t wrong. The dark was disconcerting. The torch would make wielding her greatsword impossible, as well, but there was nothing to be done about that.
Acrobatics to avoid falling in the dark: 1D20 = [20] = 20
Magdalena managed to keep up with the others.

As James listens at the door to the storage area, the first thing he notices is that the stench is even worse here. His nose recognizes the smell of urine and feces, as well as rotten and moldy foodstuffs. There is barely any sound coming from the other side of the door; only the faintest buzzing as if flies are moving about lazily.
When he opens the door, the buzzing increases as several flies are disturbed and zoom about. The smell is overwhelming; what was once a pantry is obviously now used as both garbage area and goblin toilet. The walls have been stripped of all but items too foul to eat, and bugs are crawling in the filth.
The smell assaults the others as well, the appalling goblin stench emanating into the old kitchen. Traubon realizes that the goblins may live underground, but they take and destroy rather than build and create themselves. Many a great place has been defiled by goblins, and it's a miracle that this whole place hasn't been smeared with excrements or covered in goblin graffiti. In fact, by goblin standards this is halfway decent, because since there is a designated toilet the other rooms are probably not as filthy.
Thadius looks back at the hallway, weary of any goblins entering the depot after them. It is night, after all, and goblins are usually more active then. But so far, no goblins have shown themselves, either ahead or back outside...
Finding her way through the kitchen, holding her hands before her, Magdalena does not bump into anything. After a few moments, her eyes adjust just enough to see just a little bit from the starlight outside reaching the room through the hallway. Although she does not discern their identities, she can see where her allies move and just enough of the rubble in the room to avoid stepping onto it.

James quickly shuts the door and silently moves on, he fears if he opens his mouth he may vomit.
James heads over to the other door checking it as is standard but throwing in a precautionary sniff.

Magdalena gagged at the stench as she heard someone opening a door.
“What in the Nine Hells is that?” she managed to choke out. “That is foul!” She pulled her tabard up to cover her face, but it didn’t help much. Taking a breath and holding it meant it just sat there on your tongue. “Gah! I can actually taste it!”
At least she could see well enough to avoid tripping, at least in this kitchen area.

"This is quiet foul," Thadius says thinking of a hot bath and lavender soap to take his mind of the stink. "Although it could be worse. That doesn't look like months of piled sh**, maybe weeks. Bet these little buggers threw their crap into the stream to help poison it against the village."
