Zirul will start putting on his armor, accepting Cerilis's help to speed up the process. He will then wait for the others to join them so they may all come up with a plan about what to do next.
Ravenna rolls out of the bed, hits the floor hard, then springs to her feet. "I'm up mom, I'm up!" she shouts.
After a groggy moment she grabs her rapier from her sword belt and her buckler from the bedside, then says, "First time fighting in my nightgown! Let's do this."

Jax seems still sleepy, as he watches the scene unfold without truly reacting.
The elf enters the other room and inspects the bodies, and it's in that moment that fe snaps awake.
"What in the Nine... I thought I was dreaming, but dreams don't smell this bad. Looks like we have a job to do, boys." he says with a wide smile.
This is the kind of things that never happened back at home... this is why I left."
Augier retrieves his gear. So down into the dark eh? We might have to leave town quick if the owners are in on this.
"Wait a sec!" says Ravenna suddenly. She lunges over to the nightstand, grabs her hat, and puts it on her head. "All right, let's do this," she says.
With as much haste as the party can muster, they don their gear and ready their weapons for a hunt of retribution or perhaps at least some investigation. They assemble, ready, in the hall outside of rooms 7, 8, and 9, trying to get their bearings. They must decide now which action to take next.
So how did these things get in your room?
"Great question! Window? Door? Secret passage in a fireplace?"
Let us keep checking out this inn, this is where we got attacked.
"I doubt the door, and if there were more than one the window seems slow to get in."
Siondel searches the room with the fallen bad guys.
perception.
Zirul and Cerilis both begin to overcome the feeling of nausea.
fort
"Ugh! What the <blorgh>...?!?!"
Augier helps searching the place.
The stench has begun to dissipate enough that it doesn't cause Augier to become nauseous. Besides, he has developed a strong resistance to olfactory offenses due to his hygienic practices. He manages to find the secret door that Cerilis was already aware of. It doesn't budge.
Anyone help get this open?
Ravenna arrives in the rapidly-growing-crowded room.
"It must have some other trigger mechanism, it OHMYGODS WHAT IS THAT SMELL!"
*Brap*
Jax pushes the secret panel so hard it becomes unhinged and with the same momentum, he falls forward rolling into a wall of oak planks as a javelin sails just above his head into the wood behind him. Two reptilian creatures await the adventurers in the tunnel behind the wall. Both draw clubs in hopes of achieving something in these early morning hours.
Augier will cast Sleep on the trogs. DC 13 Will or fall asleep.
Cerilis tries to point at the secret door location in the wall, but is overcome with waves of nausea. His eyes start to clear and his heaving subsides. Wiping vomit from his chin and feeling the lump on the side of his head, he is not surprise to see the weapon hit the wall. He moves in after the jax to lend a hand with the creatures.
Be wary of their stench, I think it might just be able to compete with Augier.
He looks over at Augier as he enters the tunnel
Sniff sniff....
maybe
Both trogs, resist the spell of Augier. The enclosed passageway allows only one creature to be in front of a single-file line.
Augier will move out of the passage and back into the room.
The swing of the club misses the standing elf. His return volley also misses it's intended target making a swoosh sound as it cuts through thin air.

"Hold on fellas!" yells the elf to his friends behind him "There's not much space, but Mister Smellymouth here and I will have some words and all will be solved soon!" he addsas his weapons look for his target, slashing swiftly in a crossed motion with both his curved elven scimitar and his dwarvencraft handaxe.
Augier leaves the passage.Some other hack and slash type should get in there.
Zirul will follow the others in line.
Ravenna swaps places with Augier and draws her rapier.
Holding his spear to hand, Siondel calls Medved to him and prepares to take up the rear.
"We can hold up the rear, both our senses are typically acute, and this way my friend won't get in your way should you need to make tactical decisions."
Seeing that we are clogged up in a hallway, Cerilis pulls a dagger and throws it at the creature in the rear.
Jax fells the sticky creature in front of him quite easily with his quick martial maneuvers. The yellow blood and mucus sprays upon the wall.
Cerilis's dagger flies true, but grazes the flinching trog who now stands alone with club in hand.
Siondel remains in the rear, stowing his spear and drawing his bow.
Ravenna hops from foot to foot, waiting for the chance to move forward. "Get 'em Jax!" she shouts by way of encouragement.
The trog puts everything that it has into the attack on Jax as it is desperate for some measure of success in its futile last stand.
Desperation falls over the trog's face as much as it can express itself as it comes to a realization that it may soon perish.
His all-or-nothing attack failed miserably and he awaits retribution.
Cerilis steps back to give room for another person to step and be able to attack from range. He draws another dagger and throws it at the remaining creature.
Augier waits for the others to hopefully finish it.
Jax's attack rips through the determined trog, but not dropping him.
Cerilis's dagger sails past the trog down the passage way.
The trog's club finds it's mark hard on Jax's shoulder.
