With the guards defeated the party is free to tend their wounds and explore the area. It contains several unknown creatures kept preserved in fluid as well as several logbooks that describe sundry bizarre fauna, pieces of creatures, chemicals, and other supplies brought into the facility. These records go into little detail but suggest the lab has been in operation for at least 5 years. These records also reveal the facility’s name: Slumbersun.
"This is all very interesting... not sure what it all means... " Shohiraj starts searching mage bodies for anything useful, then asks... "by the way, I could use some healing."
"Same here," - says Zurnzal showing his burns, - "So can anyone tell what all theese sheets are about?"
Eramay reads through the texts quickly, anyone else can aid her.
She grabs a few of them. "These are the ones we want. Leave the rest."
"I am also in need of healing before we continue. I have a single scroll that I'd rather save for an emergency."

"Thank you, Falth.. just what I needed !"
"Thanks"

With the evidence in hand the party moves deeper within Slumbersun.
Soon they come upon the entrance to a large hall. A metal inscription etched above the door reads “Bretheda Dome 3.”
Blue-hued light emanates from the domed ceiling at the center of this two-story, artificial environment. Broad metal grates make a perimeter about the room about ten feet above the lush habitat below. Paths cross between strange shrubs and low trees, and vines cling to the walls and dangle in clumps across parts of the ceiling. At the center of the room stands a small metal pavilion. Behind the thick glass in the southern corners of the room lie small laboratories filled with bookshelves, dissection tables, and workbenches.
Aramay has no useful information about this place.
"That looks interesting" she says, nodding to the pavilion.
The party ventures through the strange habitat without incident. They exit through an east hallway and enter a maze of assorted laboratories, hallways, storage lockers, and containment cells.
While treasure is nice, Shohiraj will look for evidence, and record anything she finds, taking anything portable that would substantiate anything found.
Eramay will go hunting for allies, as she is well-versed in convincing people to be on her side through diplomacy.... or torture if necessary.
Zurnzal gonna find some usefull items (treasure) that will help the party and hinmself ofcourse
Falth will also look for evidence

Shohiraj finds a small trove of valuable information including documents detailing some of Slumbersun's more interesting experiments.

Eramay finds a locked cell containing an enormous, mutant crab with swollen pustules growing from its back contained without a glowing reinforced metal cage.
A hissing alien voice fills her thoughts.
A new torturer? No, you have a look of vengeance to you. Are you here to bring this place to ruin? I have suffered under the scalpel and the syringe for too long. Free me and we can bring ruin to this place together.

Zurnzal finds a lockbox containing a loaded syringe and note.

Falth gets briefly lost and fails to uncover any additional evidence.

Shohiraj will again look for more evidence...
Eramay is not familiar with the type of creature, but she tries to determine if it speaks the truth.
Zurnzal takes the syringe and tries to find an ally while thinking if it is worth to use
"Give all for power" they say
Zurnzal eventually injects the syringe
Falth searches for more evidence.

Shohiraj searches desperately but doesn't manage to find any additional evidence.
***
Without any kind of face or humanoid body language to ready the strange monster is difficult to read but Eramay believes its offer is sincere.
***
Zurnzal is wracked with pain as his body metabolizes the contents of the syringe. After a moment the pain passes and he becomes aware of new abilities.
Searching further Zurnzal fails to uncover any evidence.
***
Falth tracks down a records office with several boxes filled with valuable evidence in the form of detailed receipts.
***
Eramay will inspect the lock on the cell that holds the creature, and if she can, will try to open the cell. If she can't manage it, she'll look nearby for a key.

The hideous creature scuttles out of its confines and seems to 'sniff' the air before clicking a claw in one direction. My tormentor lies this way. Follow me.

Having gathered whatever evidence and prizes they can the party moves forward with their newfound alien ally. The creature navigates the maze-like corridors with ease bringing the party to an enormous chamber.
Like a cathedral forged in the name of science, this laboratory has an arched ceiling that soars to a height of fifty feet. The room constricts near the middle where a low, stepped platform formally partitions the two halves. To the north, a narrow metal walkway hugs the walls about five feet above the open workspace. To both the east and west, the walkway terminates in twenty-foot ladders that lead to higher observation decks. Easily three labs’ worth of tables, shelves, and other heavy equipment hovers thirty feet off the floor, suspended by chains. Beyond to the south, lies a circular, elevated platform with a curving set of stairs.
Levitating amid the suspended equipment is a humanoid creature that appears part man and part spider. It puts its work down when the party enters. "Ah, the intruders have finally found their way to my lab. Come. The sooner I kill you the sooner I can resume my important work."
Seeing this thing looks like a humanoid spider, Shohiraj downs a potion of antitoxin while moving forward around the perimeter of the room.
The spider-man leaps from the workbench to a nearby suspended bookshelf before glaring down at Eramay with glowing inhuman eyes.
A second later a nightmarish shadowy creature appears on the raised platform at the rear of the chamber - a serpentine monstrosity comprised of wailing patients, broken glass, rusty wire, and alchemical fluids. It sprays a font of acidic spittle arcing through the air and into the party's ranks.
Zurnzal agrees with Shohiraj\s tactics to surround the enemy from the perimeter and so soes the same move from the opposite side of the room, drinking ipotion of invisibility while moving and using Quick Runner’s Shirt to move father.
Eramay dodges some of the acid, but then swings her scimitar twice in thin air, seeing an imagined threat next to her.
Falth steps off the stairwell. He glares at the monstrosity but turns his attention to the tinkerer. He quickly raises his bow and looses a pair of arrows.

Falth finds his arrows turned aside by some kind of invisible field around the monstrous spider-man.
Shohiraj drinks a potion of invisibility then moves forward further.
The spiderman glances at Falth and sends a blast of pure psychic energy crashing down on him.
The nightmarish creature beneath him sprays another font of acidic spittle at the party.
The monstrous crab-thing that Eramay discovered fires back with unerring bolts of force.
Shohiraj approaches the spidery fellow while invisible, and strikes at him, appearing out of nowhere...
If that hits, the opponent finds he is disoriented
disoriented: the target takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and an additioanal -2 penalty on all attack rolls against Shohiraj.
