The Lupins appear to ease off of the guard for a bit. "We serve Claude. If you'd like our help, it must first be granted by Claude."
In response to Drethen's call, he is greeted by giggles coming from behind some of the furniture in the room.
Hunter replies, "Oh, I am not going to be aggressive towards you, I have met Claude and he has helped us somewhat. Maybe you can tell us what are in the rooms further up?"
"Further up? Didn't you just come from that way?"
As Drethen strides into the room, his belt buckle unexpectedly pops open. His pants fall down around his ankles and he falls to the floor. As he hits the floor, his sword pops out of his hand from the impact and slides across the floor slipping under a piece of furniture that one of the small creatures hid behind.
Hunter shakes his head, "Nevermind", he goes over to see what is happening with Drethen from outside the room and as he does he has the laugh of a lifetime. He comments, "No time for that!" Hunter starts aiming for whatever caused the mishap.
Ardo stands by Hunter and tries not to crack a smile at Drethen's crack. "Be careful my friend, looks to be you had a sub standard belt."
Peering into the room, the party is unable to glimpse the creatures as they hide behind furniture and debris. You can hear them giggle and skitter as they move around behind the obstacles in the room. The furniture and debris is scattered in a manner that only allows you to catch a glimpse of a head or an arm here and there as they change their positions.
You can also hear the unmistakable sound of metal scraping on the floor as one of them seems to have grabbed Drethen's sword out from under the piece of furniture that it slid under. It sounds like they are dragging it deeper into the room.
