"Charming little abode." The Dr. scans for information.
Well, this looks positively nightmarish
Calain Will have his Lucerne Hammer in hand now they are inside.
"If I was having second thoughts about breaking and entering, I don't anymore. This has gotta be the lair of something or someone evil. Too bad we can't use it for real shelter, eh."
Bradan comes to the door, bow in hand and scanning the swamp behind them for any additional threats.
Yeah, you fellas take me to the best of places... Ulfrec today's a stone into the water.
What are you going to do in this first room?
Beorn sighs. Very well, let us try to get through this as quickly as possible
"I've got you covered, and watching for anyone sneaking up from behind. Sneaky types, see anything?"
Aggrahs a bit embarrassed...this place screams BAD witch. She just doesn't want to reinforce prejudicial stereotypes by saying so out loud.
Aggrah begins to scan for magic and alerts the group if she finds anything.
She very wary of the bubbling pool
Someone check that door (in the north wall) while I scan the room for magic
You are uncertain about the pond it is odd, it looks like swamp water and it does not look deep.
There is good quality wooden door on the North wall. It has an unusual looking handle and key hole mechanism.
Poke Poke cautiously moves into the carefully checking for traps as he goes. He moves towards the door
Poke you are confident that there is nothing sinful in this room. The door itself looks simple to open for goblin of your skills and talents.
Poke Poke trys to quitely open the door.
Poke Poke pulls out a couple small picks and sets to the task of unlocking the door.
Beorn keeps ready with his blade.
The door is locked but the deft-handed goblin is able to jiggle his tools until it releases. Feeling confident he tests the handle...
Tes examines the room.
Calain continues to back up the rogues (from 10ft away- no need to get caught by any exploding doors or pit traps)
"So far so good out here."
Not able to bear thinking about the swamp muck and swarms outside, Ulfrec prepares for what might be inside.
Axe in hand, he's not as patient as he'd like.
"Dunno, but we might not be alone out here. Keep your guards up, folks."
Bradan moves to the doorway providing rear security with his bow.
"Crying! Time to investigate!" He opens the door.
The water seems to be only a foot deep.
as the entry team pops the door Aggrah keeps her eye on the pond, guarding (not sure how effectively) the rear
Inside the house:
Desperate sobs emanate from an iron cage confining a ragged Mrs. Turner, while an emaciated middle-aged man in another iron cage remains silent. The flames from two hearths in the near corners illuminate and heat the room. An iron cauldron filled with a simmering black, viscous goo roils over each fire. A cracked stone statue of a beautiful female warrior stands next to one of the hearths, and light reflects off the tarnished surface of a mirror, cracked and missing many shards, attached to the near wall. A group of vials rest atop a large, flat-topped table, while more than a dozen tattered books sit upon a crude shelf built into it. Four wooden posts driven into the earthen floor against the far wall support a rudimentary bed stitched together from flayed skin and leather.
Calain stops himself from rushing in blindly, but cannot help but try to consol Mrs Turner and find out more about the threats within.
His weapon in hand he takes on hand off the haft to gesture to the woman, Mrs Turner, be still, we're here. Where are your captors so we can free you of this place?
Calain will give the sneaks space to scan for traps on the cages, he steps into the room and scans the corners for any lurkers in the room.
Bradan looks at the newcomers and holds his bow loosely at the ready.
"Uh...hi?"

Flayed skin?! What horror house have we stumbled into?
Aggrah you recognize the creatures.
Calain you don't see anyone else in the room.
Poke Poke will rush forward and start to unlock the Lady Turner's cage
Poke poke as soon as you step into the room the floor boards creak loudly, it sounds as if they are going to break but given your light weight they do not. Dr. Tes your ears pick up on the creaking floor board...you're concerned that they will not hold your weight.
Poke Poke you don't notice the dart trap on the lock and you set if off.

Not yet seeing a threat and remembering the repeated chastising from the little goblin, the fighter DELAYS waiting for a threat to present itself

Aggrah speaks loud enough for everyone to hear (including Calain) yelling if needed
Lizardfolk coming out of the swamp... Probably not friends
Aggrah fixes her Evil Eye upon one of the lizards targeting its saves DC17
Beorn moves below Aggrh. We have trouble outside!

Calain moves out the door to stand in -b7 maintaining a gap to use his Reach weapon against the two Lizard men in A7 and A6.
He enters his RAGE and chops down beautifully and powerfully, cutting a wide arc and attempting to hit them both with a Single powerful blow.
Die you BEASTS!
"Ow, booger that hurts." exclaims as the dart pricks him
to hit, for piercing magical damage
to hit, for piercing magical damage
Why is everything trying to kill us!? You fellas cursed or somethin'? Ulfrec advances and swings his axe. Geri tries to make himself useful and takes a bite.
"I mean...yeah? Kinda. I got whammied and feel like I lost a couple years of life back in town."
