<p>With that Rodan steps out of the room and checks on Graxton, eager to distance himself from the contents of the hatbox. Realising that the half-orc is in no condition to climb back up to the other floor, the rogue then takes some rope and climbs back up himself, fashioning a bosun's chair to help lift him up. Calling back down below, he tells the others <b>"If one of you comes back up here, and the other two put Grax in the sling, we can haul him up fairly easily.

<p>Once all of the party is back up to the first level, Rodan moves ahead and quickly searches all of the rooms for any valuables or hidden caches, as well as making sure that there's no one living in the place now.
