"Well, I don't smell anything bad thanks to these allergies. I'm Merry Rumwell, this is my Inn, and I need you out of this kitchen. I'm sure the mayor is waiting for you. The drinks and hot wings are free of charge so I think you've got everything you need for your journey."
Merry crosses his arms and huffs a little.
As Derv and Leana circle around the kitchen during Merry's exchange with Brickowsky, they end up meeting at the trapdoor. With only an exit to outside the Inn and back into the dining area, this appears to be the only other place the rotten smell could be from.
Hindle/Miet tries to fly deeper into the wine cellar. Miet hops between wine bottles, trying to stay hidden. She is only able to go about 5 feet away from the stairs, but she does not see anything out of the ordinary. She does feel a chill though and gladly appears back on Hindle's shoulder. Hindle and Miet enter the kitchen just as Leana and Derv look at the trapdoor then nod at each other.
OOC:
Unfortunately, I think the hot wings Merry prepped are covered in uncooked rice flour now in the sack, but if you can get Merry out of the kitchen, perhaps you can try the hot wings that are stored in the barrel. Don't forget the hot sauce!
