[Shogus00]

From the sounds of it, he was more scared of his bosses than he was of death, which is never a good sign. This whole mess leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of his bosses for now. Jackal jumps down and throws Logan's body over the back of his horse, Quickfire.
After we're done burying them, I'll perform a short ritual so their souls can move on to the after life
Jackal loads as many bodies as can be carried onto Quickfire before mounting and heading outside.

"If that's you wish, I'll come along... I hope you all don't mind me taking a rain check on the grave duties."

Vahn followed Seraphiel into the room and looked around. It wasn't a big room, and from what he remembered of the outside it seemed to fit the dimensions so there likely wasn't a false wall.

A false floor, though... that is a possibility.

With that thought in mind, the warlock gave the ground a good thump with the end of his quarterstaff in likely-looking spots.

[Solymr]

The empty clunk the floor made near the far end wall betrayed something hidden.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"A rousing success. Let's see if we can open this."

Vahn looked around for a concealed handhold or anything else he could use to pull the floor up; failing that, he could just attempt to smash through it.

[Solymr]

Disguised as ornaments, a couple of handholds were on the corners of the room, so that two people could pull up the floor.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...I must admit some trepidation at what we might find below. Hopefully nothing bad, if the town priest knew of it, but then the bandits might have learned of this too. You might want to prepare yourself. Anything could be beyond this trapdoor."

Vahn took one of the handholds and gestured to the other one.

"We'll lift when you're ready."

[randomgenericusername]

"Maybe... Oh, you already found it. For someone who insists on being old, you have fast reflexes and high perception."

"I'm ready. If we're together, we can deal with anything down there."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"It's just experience. You don't have to be faster than your opponent if you can predict what they're going to do. Take axes. A man lifts it over his head, you dodge to the side of his non-dominant hand because it'll take him longer to readjust."

[randomgenericusername]

"Oh, that's useful to know. I used to think that I wouldn't be able to do anything if a man with an axe attacked me while I was holding my staff."

"Talking about experience, there's something we have to discuss later. But now, let's open this basement."

[Azrayel]

"So many dead, and for what?  Whoever leads this cabal must be fearsome indeed, to command fear unto death."

Naziri readies herself for whatever might be beyond the hidden door.

[Doomblade187]

Grelen helped drag the bodies outside to aid Jackal in graveyard duty.

"What do you think's going on, Jackard?"

[randomgenericusername]

Prepare to pull up the floor with Vahn and enter the hidden basement with him.

[Shogus00]

I don't know but all we can do is be ready. Vahn is quite capable I wouldn't worry. Jackard continued to put bodies into the grave.

[Doomblade187]

"Heh. That crazy old man is quite impressive, I must admit. Wouldn't want to have lived his life. Anyways, my guess is magic users. We're a tricky lot, you know."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Vahn lifts his end of the trapdoor as well.
