Duncan searches the bodies. When he arrives at the sleeping bugbear, he looks back at the others questioningly.
"Can any of us converse with it? If not, save ourselves trouble later and put it to sleep permanently; otherwise lets tie it up."
Andrei looks over at Duncan.
Any chance you can look at my ribs? My side hurts a lot from that blow I took.
The bugbears have GP worth of coins on them, and healing potions. They were carrying morningstars, leather armor and shields as well as some javelins.
Lyle wanders over to the sleeping bugbear and opens its throat with his rapier.
"Don't look at me like that, tying him up and hoping he goes to start an orphanage is not a particularly realistic option. A dead bugbear means we save some children."
He then proceeds to loot the bugbears, laying out their gear and dividing the gold.
Bringing out his healers kit, Duncan waves Andrei over to sit while he looks at his wounds.
Healer:
Morgran smiles a grim smile "Guess that means you don't speak bugbear." Then inspects the door leading eastward. Ready to open it an check the other side
Andrei lays hands on himself for 5hps.
Curiously the Eastern door to this room is barricaded from this side, as if the Bugbears didn't trust, or didn't want, something on the other side to get into their room.
Will search the rest of the room (not sure if we searched the bed areas yet) before Duncan examines the barricade.
"Well they certainly did not want whatever is behind this door visiting them. Should we dismantle it, or check out those stairs to the north, back in the corridor?"
"If they had it blocked protecting themselves from the other side, perhaps we should take heed as well. Lets continue up the passage to the north and those steps, working our way around." Morgran states before turning towards the door and leaving the bugbears behind.
Agreed.
"No questions here. I mean, maybe whateve ris on the other side has magnificent treasure, but we're just as likely to find that further down the hall. We can come back. Onwards!"
Duncan falls into line with the others.
Lyle leads the adventurers north into what looks like an unworked cavern.
A wide rift fills the eastern side of this cavern. A stream pours out of the west wall and flows out again to the North. Several ropes are secured to iron stakes along the western edge of the rift, leading down to the chasm floor.
Lyle spots a bugbear standing guard along with a drow elf.

Lyle blinks as he spots the drow and the bugbears and he quickly chants a spell, vanishing from view. His voice floats out of the air.
"Trust me, I'm more use to you invisible."
He then rushes into the cave.

Not sure if I can do this, but using his slippers of spider climbing, can Duncan go up and over the bugbears (on the roof or wall) and end up behind the drow? Not sure what the roof is like or the walls...
