Did Scapa just get a wild hair up his ass, or is he picking up a second class as well?

Pogre’s campaign – To Save a Soul
Johann recovered enough to dodge the spider’s bite and sliced into its abdomen. Shannon finished the job with a crushing blow to the beast’s thorax region. The arachnid collapsed in a pile of broken legs and yellow blood.
“We have two choices,” Shannon began, “We can stay out in this orchard and fight spiders all day, or we can move up to the manor house.”
“So that is why we didn’t hear anything. These hairy eight-leggers have eaten all the birds. Easy choice for me, let’s move on,” Johann responded.
The adventurers approached the rear of the building, and they could see a humanoid lazily walking around a stone patio area.
“I would prefer not to raise an alarm,” Shannon said. “Do you think we could shoot and kill him from here?”
“That is a pretty long shot,” Johann responded.
“Let us work our way around to the coach house and approach from behind that structure,” Scapa suggested.
The coach house was a freestanding structure that was approximately seventy feet or so from the main house. The group approached from behind the coach house and the snuck the remaining 70’ up to the side of the manor house. They removed a few boards from outside one of the windows and snuck into the manor.
Unfortunately, Johann tripped a little bit coming into the room and made a lot of racket, as did Bridget.
Sneaking in.
“Maybe we should have just knocked on the front door?” Scapa asked sarcastically.
“Shuddup,” Bridget retorted.
“Or maybe we should have broken down the door with our sorcerer ram,” Johann replied with equal sarcasm.
“Scapa, you seem the quietest. Why don’t you check out that hall?” Shannon asked.
The sorcerer, moving as quietly as he could headed down the hall.
Scapa exploring.
“What do you see?” Johann whispered.
“There is a staircase ahead,” Scapa answered.

“Does the staircase go up or down?” Johann asked.
“Up,” Scapa answered. “It appears that the entrance area is pretty wide open.”
“Come on back,” Johann ordered. “Let’s check out the other passageway.”
“Good idea,” agreed Scapa. He slinked back to Johann’s side.
Shannon led the way through the other door. It opened into a vaulted symmetrical room with four alcoves. Each alcove had a statue of a warrior woman armed with a spear and shield.
“Slow down,” Johann warned. “I do not much like the way these stone wenches look.”
“They are statues of Marrkidia’s Shield Maidens,” Shannon stated.
Marrkidia’s Shrine.
“Whose side is she on?” Johann asked.
“She is the Goddess of Military Strategy,” Bridget answered. “Considering our last few scraps, she probably is against us.”
“This conversation on religion, while enlightening, is getting us no closer to those bounty hunters,” Scapa reminded the group.
“Hey, there is something lying in the corridor here,” Shannon announced. “It looks like it used to be a Goblin. Whew, he has been here a while. He also has our favorite tattoo.”
“Theta again?” Bridget asked.
“None other,” Shannon answered. “It just does not make sense. Orcs and goblins with tattoos of Theta, they must have one weird Shaman working for them.”
Shannon leads the group down the hall.
Shannon led the rest further down the hall. The hall ended at a stout door. Shannon put his ear to the door. He heard the guttural sounds of Orcs talking. He whispered back to the group, “Orcs.”
“How many?” Scapa asked.
Shannon returned his ear to the door and listened again. He heard several voices. “There’s at least a dozen,” he answered. He returned his ear to the door again and then returned to the group. “I think a dozen might be conservative.”
The group returned to Marrkidia’s Shrine and discussed the situation.
“We probably would have surprise and I could spray a lot of them with magic,” Scapa offered.
“That’s a lot of orcs,” Johann countered. “If it’s more than a dozen we could have a very tough time.”
“We could lure them into a fight in the hallway,” Bridget suggested.
“I am not sure we even need to take these Orcs on,” Shannon remarked. “Let’s try to sneak upstairs and see what we find up there.”
The adventurers sneaked up the stairs and were confronted at the top landing by a seedy looking human in studded leather. “Who are ye’?” the human asked.
“We’re expected,” Johann answered and held up the Theta holy symbol they had stolen off the Orc earlier.

Re: Episode 19
Hee hee! That was a quote worthy of my own story hour!
Just want to say, it looks like there's some scenery in those rooms, you should pull back a bit and give us a better look at it. With the focus so tight on the miniatures all the rooms are looking the same.
One more thing-- if you HAVE a full overhead layout, meaning you aren't picking up all the tiles as you go along, I think we would all love to see an overhead of the floorplan to help visualize the place.
