Aye, it looks like we could go out the north end of the building and move quickly to the next structure, that the catapult appears to be on.
"I'll be right behind you."
The party rushes out the northern doors of the stable and into the building below the catapult, finding a large number of ruined bunks have been heaped into a nest-shaped mound in the center of the room. There is, however, a pet watching over this room!
It's a monitor lizards. Careful, its poisonous!
Jennix draws back and fires an arrow at the reptilian.
Miso takes a five-foot step to the side — hoping to open a window for Zachary — then loads his crossbow (move) and fires.
Zack looses a pair of arrows at the creature.
Terflynn takes a shot as well.

Jennix puts an arrow into the reptile, followed by Miso's bolt. One of Zachary's arrows sinks in and Terflynn decides to join the fun and puts his own arrow in, finishing the lizard off.
Jennix smacks his thigh. Well done! Let's hope we always have that much success. Better than those skeletons! Jennix begins to survey the room, looking for anything of interest.
Jennix finds nothing of interest here except the garbage and makeshift next left behind by whatever other creatures normally inhabit these barracks.
"Yes, it is much safely to stay away from our foes. Learned that from fighting goblins. Unpredictable little buggers." Zack comments, continuing to follow behind the group.
"Anyone see a way to the roof?" Terflynn asks, skipping over the post-combat pleasantries.

This room does not appear to have any way to get to the roof; only the door to the east.
Jennix move to the door to the east and kneels down, listening and checking for traps.
Zack stands a short distance behind Jennix carefully watching the door for any movement.
Jennix listens at the door and hears two voices arguing.
"Yeah, but you got the last one!"
"That one was tiny! Look at the size of this thing! Come on, I'm starving!"
Jennix pads back over to the party. I hear voices, but I no not the language. He whispers.
"Do they sound friendly?" Terflynn asks in an attempt to simplify the situation.

Jennix shrugs. Sounded as if they were arguing or something.
Miso thinks a moment. Perhaps we should introduce ourselves and offer to mediate? he says with a slight smile.
When you decide to kick the door open, there are two troglodytes sitting at the table.
Terflynn quickly hexes a trog, coaxing it into a deep, peaceful sleep.

The troglodyte will have none of that!
Jennix fires his bow at the near trog, then steps southeast into the room.
Zack steps up to the door and looses an arrow at the closest trog.
Miso lets a bolt fly from his crossbow!
EDIT:
Jennix, Zachary, and Miso bring one of the Trogs down. The other immediately throws up his hands in surrender!
Jennix holds his bow ready and looks back at the party. Tie em' up?
Can anyone communicate with this being?
Terflynn shakes his head. "Better to just chase it off I'd think. I doubt it will come back for revenge."
Jennix begins examining a number of documents, found throughout the room. Hmm, it looks like these are troop lists, maps, and documents from when Brinewall was attacked. It seems the guards suspected the citizens of rioting. Several buildings caught fire and the guards were mounting an expedition to investigate and bring order.
"I wonder what happened with that..." Terflynn quips after shooing off the trog survivor.

"Up the stairs to the north?"

"The place does look pretty run down." Zack comments while assisting getting in the way of Jennix's document sifting.
The party heads upstairs to find this chamber's furniture-couches, drawing tables, and empty bookshelves-lying in disarray, with the exception of one writing desk and chair in the center of the room, its surface heaped with pages of parchment and paper.
Jennix examines the paper and parchment, but can't quite decipher it. I was studying Tien when this little adventure started, but I'm afraid o can't quite translucent these papers.
Crows that turn into humans...a curious subject for a performance piece.
Jennix moves to the south part of the room. This way? He asks.
Jennix leads the way through the door to the south. This chamber reeks of rotten food and bird droppings. A long dining table sits in the middle of the room, heaped with partially eaten animal carcasses and several thick eggshells. Sitting at the table are three dire corbies, eyes glittering.
