Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Silas stays up front having cast alter self again to take on elven features as they move forward.

not sure how long it took to check out last room and heal but alter self should last 6 minutes, combat was only like 5 rounds, so you might not need to recast?

I'm happy to not have to as it will save it for after another look around.

Combat may be quick, but exploration is not especially when you need to pace it off for mapping. Besides, you need to take a breather after the combat. I would say it has been around 20 minutes.

It really doesn't matter as you notice there is nothing lurking in the northern passageway

onward then I think? I didn't roll stealth check let me do that. I think Silas and I can go a square or two ahead at least so we aren't so cramped

stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Leialoha follows the lead of Oro-Tu and Silas, further back in the tunnels by Wexley and Natalie. The stench of the sewers disgusts him. How can these people live in a place that requires such filth to give them the illusion of comfort. Can they not see the foulness they spread on this once holy place.

Where does this passageway lead us?

The room is on the map sewers12

The stagnant pool of water at the center of this chamber reeks with corruption. The vile smell of decay hangs heavy in the air. The bloated, half decayed body of a man, his face and hands now swollen to nearly twice their normal size, floats in the pool. Insects of all sorts creep over his body. In his hands he holds a swath of moldy cloth.

Silas covers his nose and indicates behind him to approach cautiously. He starts to look over the body from a distance.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Oro-Tu pulls his headband down over his nose and nods, weapon at the ready. When he has room to peer past Silas into the area, he will check out the room and pool.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

The body is full of bugs.

Wexley hangs back and directs his lights into the room.

Coming into the room after Silas and Oro-Tu, Beth smells to check if there is still a smell of sewer gaz in the room.

Perception or Survival check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

"People, we have a body long dead with bugs crawling all over it. Bugs may mean swarm. If so, do not use fire or electricity, there is sewer gas around."

Or-Tu touches Silas shoulder, "Body not just have insect outside, is full of insect. Care not to make swarm." He whispers, repeating the same to Beth a bit behind him.

Is the perimeter around the pool clear of debris or anything unusual enough to circle to the next section of passage on opposite side?

Have we already used our vermin repellent?

I have one extra for when mine runs out. Did anyone else use it?

As you can see on the map there is a perimeter around the pool.

"There looks to be something in his hands. Are we in the right place for where the jawbone was?"

People with survival step up as Silas has not a clue :)

I know there's a perimeter :) does it look free of debris etc or unusual features etc?

Survival, to determine location: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
know dungeoneering, for relevant info if needed: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Know nature, trying to ID type of insects: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 to determine where we are relative to the jawbone

@Oro-Tu No unusual features, but there is debris. There are a lot of centipedes.

@Natalie The information you have is not that accurate w/o Beth casting the spell, but you think you are in the general area.

Sorry, @Beth no gas detected in this room.

Natalie walks up looks around then back at Silas. We be the general area. It's around here somewhere.

So who is in what square?

I am near the entrance in the passageway, just peeked in so far.

AF4

Upon being told of insect swarms she puts on the vermin repellent.

In reply to SIlas and Nathalie question, Beth takes out a vial of alchemist fire then casts locate object to detect the direction of the jawbone.

Beth is in AF7

AI6
Wexley applies his vermin repellent if he hasn't already done so.

Ok, waiting on Silas and Leialoha.

AH6
"I can freeze the body. It will kill the bugs, but might freeze the pool too." Leialoha applies his vermin repellent.

Sorry, messed up the room a row sewers12

AF6

Silas kneels whilst applying the vermin repellent, looking over the body"So if everyone is ready do you want me to disturb the body or would you rather deal with the bugs ahead of time?"

Natalie shrugs. Make ye choice. Don matter to me.

I like the idea of trying to freeze them. Involves maneuvering around and out of the room though I think?

Leialoha smiles at Oro-Tu's unspoken question. "No brother. I think I can do it without you leaving." Leialoha steps up into the room between Silas and Natalie. Again the words come spilling out in Ronjoronjo and Leialoha stretches his arms out over the pool and a storm of ice and snow envelopes the body in the pool.
Move up to AF5. Let me know if I can't target the body with a cone.

[Dice=Survival, smelling for gas]1d20+11

Beth had already detected no gas in the room.

Silas grabs for the item in the cloth whilst trying to ignore the bugs all around him.
