Out of character: So much to do!
"Let's move the prisoners outside. If anything goes wrong in dealing with their remaining forces in here, at least a few of us could fight at the cave entrance while the prisoners flee out of the canyon the way we came. In here they could easily still be trapped in a panic."
Velon takes one vial from each dragon's canister and then starts hauling the full canisters out of the cold room. He asks some able bodied folks to help move them to the large entrance room so they can be taken outside and destroyed. Along the way, he covers his mouth and nose and peers into the first room (First on the left when we entered).
After hearing what Onwen says about the vials Fay looks at the vials he has. Walks towards one of the empty rooms the prisoners were once in and throws them, one at a time, against a wall with all his might. "I'll not be carrying that" he says as he throws the first.
Cratol helps in the moving of the captors back to the entrance and out in the box canyon where they can see the sky and rest knowing they are free while we work on cleaning out the rest of this haven for the evil. Getting this place cleared out will be a good help to all. After assisting with the captives he will rejoin the others but still stay away from Lia, Faevalor and Mari. HE will do his best to not look their way.

Poljen, figuring he reeks much of the time anyways, goes into the first room, using his torch stone, which rests in the air above is head, giving off torchlight. He helps Velon poke around.
Out of Character: : I suspect we shall soon leave this room and join the others.
Velon and Cratol approach the mound, which has been piled up well back from the door. As was likely guessed, it is composed of corpses. When the sorcerer gets close, there are several oddities.
Most of the corpses are in no condition to evaluate, but of those that are, they're all female. Every one of them appears to be extremely old, every one has extremely stretched and loose skin at the abdomen, and there's a large and deep surgical cut across said abdomen, which in turn appears to have been made after death.
Also of note, while the smell of putrefaction is strong, these bodies don't seem to be simply be rotting in here. Something is eating them.
Poljen just says, "Back out. Now." He backs up, intent on getting himself and Velon out, and bolting the door. Whatever is in here might be more than they can deal with, and if they leave it in there, it has enough food it should not bother them. They can maybe come back here after dealing with the rest of the caves system.
