You find:
-- no traps.-- A map leading to the lair of the reptile god in the swamps. Just like the boy said.
-- a false bottom containing 15 gp and 20 sp.
Chestman examines the mimic to see if it had anything important.
You find:
* 1 masterwork dagger (+1)* 200 gp, 175 sp, and 29 cp.
* chewed up clothing.
* your beer.
It didn't drink the beer? An insult!
Krishka enters from outside and finds a dead priest in the main room. She spends a moment to examine him before moving on, noting curiously the smashed vase and wondering if someone missed a swing or if something was hidden inside.
She cautiously makes her way upstairs once she hears a shout from above. Sounded like a dwarf complaining about an insult. She casts detect poison on her way up the stairs.
I reckon we best plan to make a little trip to the swamps. I don't know if we will need a boat but we better be ready for swimming.

She finds no poison here.
Sea Ranger chuckles at Chestman's comment. "With this much gold on hand, I think we can afford a boat or two, friend dwarf. I even have some experience in sailing - though I suspect we'd be looking at a pair of dinghies and paddles rather than a proper sailing vessel. I'm sure we can find something in the village."
"Indeed, lets explore the rest of this temple and make sure no evil remains. Ah, Krishka...welcome back! We are blessed to have you with us again!"
Gothia continues to check the rooms on the second floor and then will return to the main floor.
Vesica greets Krishka as well She also agrees with the plans put forward: finish exploring the temple, rest for the night, then see about getting canoes or whatever for the journey into the swamp.
Krishka moved slowly up the stairs, only to have a couple familiar faces step out of a room and greet her like nothing happened. Krishka nods in greeting, and stops worrying about walking quietly. She peeks into the room the other girls just exited, ”Find anything of interest?”
Map to the lair. We'll start traveling there tomorrow.

Tavern Tale joins the dwarf in his thorough exploration of the rest of the fallen temple.
Gothia too adds her efforts into searching the rest of the temple for any other evil.
Perception:
Krishka helps the search, leaving her detect poison spell active, in case it might alert her to a poison trap or hidden enemy. She starts at the top and works her way down. If nothing is found, she will go through everywhere again but with detect magic.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Sea Ranger helps the others search, seeking out both secret doors the boy told them about - the one from the kitchen to vestibule and the other that led from the cleric's private bedroom to his office.
Yes, you have found all four of those rooms. Searching the kitchen has turned up some silverware -- worth about 20 gp. And two pounds of silver, both one pound bars are worth 50 gp. Apparently the priest got that as payment for the recent body snatchings.
His private office has an ink well with a feather pen in it. Some sheets of parchment that details records of him being paid by the cult. As well as several books, one of which is a manual of gainful excercise. That one looks as if it hasn't been opened.
The vestibule and the bedchamber has already been described.
Looks like a fair haul. Shall we retire and divide the spols?
"Return to the mayor and tell him what we have discovered. I will stand vigil here at the temple and re-consecrate it to the harvest goddess, with the help of my god. I will join you in the morning once the temple is freed of its evil taint."
Gothia removes her holy book and begins to read passages in her deep, booming voice.
Tavern Tale gives Sea Ranger a worried, uncertain look. "We probably shouldn't split up if we can help it," she says, mostly to Gothia, but loud enough that the others hear her words as well. "There could still be cultists lurking in the village and who knows how many troglodytes in the nearby swamp."
Looking around the room, the one-eyed bard manages a smile. "Why don't we all sleep here overnight while Gothia does her work? It wouldn't be the first time in recent weeks I've slept on a floor...."
Sea Ranger nods in agreement with Vesica. "This place is certainly comfortable enough, we can take turns keeping watch until you have done your work, Gothia. Wake one of us when you take your sleep."
Chestman rolls the body of the cultist in a blanket or something. I'll take first watch
It seems like it's going to be a peaceful night.
I have something planned. :)
Everyone, make perception checks at -2, except Chestman, who is watching.
Gothia Perception:
Gothia Perception: 1d20+3-2
Gothia is too engrossed in her consecration spell to notice anything.
Krishka looked rather displeased with her own statement ”Well, it makes sense to stay together and to stay here. I imagine someone will be unhappy with whatever you did to whoever that guy was. We should bar the doors and windows. If they come, they’ll probably come with friends, or at least go away and return with friends.”
If there was a bed, she absolutely claims it.

Krishka claims the priest's bed in the private chambers. She will also be sleeping with a dead mimic in the same room!
Sea Ranger makes himself comfortable on the floor somewhere (not in the room with the mimic!) and prepares to get some much needed sleep. His companion eagle does the same, finding a perch somewhere near the vaulted ceiling to settle on.
TT hunts down a blanket and or pillow before curling up in a corner (NOT underneath Sea Ranger's eagle!), offering half-heartedly to take the next watch before dozing off.
Chestman settles down in the dark and watches. Or tries to, he keeps getting distracted by his ale.

Sea ranger hears something coming from the kitchen!
Sea Ranger rises to his feet and touches each of his companions' shoulders in turn. Bringing his lips close their ears, he whispers softly. "Noise in the kitchen. Let's see what's going on." Then the druid/ranger draws his scimitar and moves toward the kitchen with the others as quietly as possible. Scout swoops down to land on Sea Ranger's shield still strapped to his back, peering over his elven companion's left shoulder. When he gets close to the entryway, he takes a peek inside, trying not to be noticed...
The door creaks open. (It isn't a great roll), and you see two troglodytes notice you. The trogs are naked except for a loincloth made of snake skin. They are surprised to see you, as they were expecting the priest!
Tavern Tale squats down a bit so she'll have no difficulty seeing past Sea Ranger when the half-elf opens the door. When the squeaky door gives away their presence, the young woman grumbles a "Damn!" under her breath and immediately scoots forward to engage the nearest of the invaders, hopefully while it's still flat-footed.
Trog 1 has improved initiative.
Chestman bolts up right and grabs his weapon.
Init:
Hearing the call and sound of battle, Gothia hurries to the sounds as quickly as she can!
Chestman and Gothia hurry to the kitchen, only to be stopped by a giant rat!
The door squeaks on its hinges, causing the two trogs to look in his direction and Sea Ranger knows that he's been spotted. "Damn. Scout! Attack!" He shouts, then leaps forward and swings his scimitar at the nearest while Scout dives at the rat. Lunch is served!
= Possible Crit!
= Nope!
Confronted by the rat, Gothia raises her sword to sweep the vermin from her and Chestman's path.
Attack:
Damage:

Scout is hungry, yep. He misses his attack on the rat, and then tries again next round. Your attack on the Trog was dead on, but wasn't a confirmed critical strike. You slash at his stomach.

Gothia managed to chop off the dire rat's head with her sword! Killing it instantly!
Tavern Tale tries to follow up Sea Ranger's hit with one of her own, hoping to KO a trog for post-battle interrogation. She's really bad at combat, though....

That was a miss.
The trogs raise their clubs and attack both Sea Ranger and Vesica.
