"Ulfren, wait a moment..."

Phineas casts a spell upon Ulfren to aid his perception.

Ulfren tries to open the door to the cell containing the dwarf body. If the door is locked, the barbarian will try a rough attempt at picking the lock... with his boot.

Phineas grabs the sack of potions and arrows and hurries to catch up to Ulfren. When he sees the bodies in the cells, his heart sinks a little. He still hopes to find evidence of a widespread petrification of his community - a strange thing to hope, but it would mean his people could still be rescued. But is it just a hopeful fantasy?

While Ulfren bashes at the door, Phineas notes "Hmm, the poor fellow here died recently. At least one Dwarf was still active here then."

Then, he produces the yellow potions from the sack and scrutinizes them with an enhanced eye (arcana check result is 28).

"If he was active, there may be more," Ulfren grunts. "See if you can figure out what he croaked from."

Phineas pulls out his quarterstaff first and vigorously pokes it. Then, if it doesn't move, he'll try to find the cause of death. (medicine check 10 total)

"Anybody recognize him?" says Ulfren, even as he tries to place the deceased in his own memory. He steps aside and calls the other dwarves in for their own inspections, while he switches places with Gunnar to stand watch.

Ulfren snorts. "So he weren't froze maybe?" he says aloud. "That means we have dwarves running about while we was gone. Let's move!"

He heads for the unexplored regions of the hallway.

Ulfren nearly passes by without a second glance, but likely the shift in movement calls his attention like any hunter. He attempts his tried-and-true method of dwarven lockpicking. "Got a live one," he says as he plants his boot into the door to try and break it down.

Gunnar goes to help Ulfren with the door, taking turns kicking it. (Help action to Ulfren for Advantage) Failing that, he tells everyone to stand back so he can shoot the lock.

Timing it like smiths upon an anvil, Ulfren aims his boot at the same target as Gunnar's.

"Step aside, everyone. Goodberries will cure even the worst conditions!" Phineas exclaims as he enters the room. He helps the injured fellow digest a berry to get the healing started.
