"Strange. There are skeletons here, which means not everyone got turned into plant men. These died as humanoids. So it's not something they eat, for instance, that transforms them into plants." The solution wasn't to be found here, but maybe they could find more door keys. Hraefn sought his inner spirit, and then started searching.

You search through the refuse slowly, poking, prodding, looking for anything out of the ordinary. In the kitchen area, you pull open one of the glass-doored boxes, and inside you find rotted, molding food of some kind. It is so old and rotten, in fact, that the fungus inside literally spills out onto the counter.

Think microwave...
As you continue to search, you look at one of the larger wardrobe-like boxes. These, too, have glass faces, though they do not appear to be able to be opened. There are several knobs and buttons that run down the right hand side of the front. There are three of them altogether, and all are black.

The second one, however, lights up as you step in front of it! Strange symbols and pictures of weird foods begin to flash in the glass panel. A soft, feminine voice begins to emit from somewhere inside the wardrobe. The entire sequence lasts for perhaps 20 seconds before pausing and starting over.

Think vending machine...

What's she saying? What's she saying? Lucky will take a look at the vending machine and cast Comprehend Languages as a ritual.

Does Romani understand what the vending machine is saying with the Helm of Comprehend languages?

Grax sees a lot of things that look a awful lot like buttons. His fingers twitch nervously. Buttons are there to be pressed, right? It would be rude not to. I mean all this stuff looks pretty sophisticated. Probably created by a gnome. I'm sure I can figure out how it works if I just press a few buttons...

Grax starts pressing buttons.

You begin pushing buttons, but before you can push the second one, the device begins humming. The female voice speaks again, and a picture of one of the rectangular, compartmentalized plates appears. The various compartments are filled with what looks to be pudding, plant life and a strange, gray matter in the main area.
OOC:
Think cafeteria food on a cafeteria tray.

Romani scratches his scruffy chin."The machine is saying something about making a selection. I think you can put a card into the machine as well." Curious about the gray substance the machine just made, Romani will taste it and try to discern what it could be.

"So this is indeed a dining hall, with food magically produced by these machines." Hraefn's still weighed in his mind whether the food was what turned the humanoids into plant men, but it didn't seem so. The worst case was that the food killed everyone and left their bodies there.

"I will eat NOTHING from this cursed place." Einar declares.

It's just a bunch of spoiled food. I say we look in the next room!

As part of the search, any door cards on the skeletons, from our investigation rolls?

After perhaps a half of a minute, there is a loud ding that emits from the large wardrobe in front of Graxif. A hidden door slides up at the bottom of the face-glass and a tray covered in food stuff slides out on a pair of metal bars. The wardrobe-woman once again speaks, and the imagery disappears, leaving the wardrobe black once again.

Everything found has been revealed. No cards as of yet.

Romani will now approach Graxif and the food tray and try to determine if it is edible.

The food looks normal enough. The meat has a greyish tint, as if it were not real meat, but perhaps some magical creation? The vegetables and greens look normal, though what you think may be a carrot is purple, not green. Likewise, the other items are identifiable, just not the right texture or color.

"Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained." Romani will try some of the grayish meat, and if that doesn’t immediately kill or disgust him, he will also try the vegetables. "Hopefully you picked something edible my friend." He says to Graxif with a small chuckle.

"So the waiters are illusions, like the unseen servants that mages sometimes conjure up." Hraefn continued to be surprised by the magic of the place.

The food tastes moderately bland, though its texture is less of meat and more of a firm porridge. At first you manage to ignore the nastiness of it, but less than a minute later your stomach begins to churn. Nausea and vertigo overtake you and with a forceful blast the contents of your stomach come rushing back up, spraying the nearby counters and floor with the remnants of your last meals. You barely miss Graxif with your vomiting, but even afterwards you feel weak and sweaty.
