“ while there are such spells to change size, I don’t have any and neither do any of the books that we’ve acquired.” Lawrence gathers his gear together, leaving the backpack in the area where the Hut will be for later.
“So, how do you want to proceed with this? Shall we just continue clearing out all the rooms until we’re sure that nothing is left behind? I think that’s probably the best way to handle all the loose ends until we get to the Dragon. “.
"Yes, let's get to it and keep clearing. I wonder if we should do a quick sweep of the upper floors again too since we know they went up there looking for us. I fear missing even one cultist could be a headache later, especially if they mess with this room while we are away."
"Shall we watch for items to build a ballista with, Zarra?" He grins.
People fan out and start re-exploring the main keep. The upper floors are quickly declared clear. The main floor also proves to be clear of hostiles. Tazskan's remaining gear is found laid out on a table in the room to the left of the pilot room.
It isn't until you start exploring the subfloor do you find someone, and they aren't exactly in a position to offer resistance. From the looks of it, two guards snuck into the wine cellar sometime last night and helped themselves. You found them snoring off the aftereffects behind a stack of barrels.
Also on this floor, you find a door that heads out to the front courtyard, and a passage that was obviously made recently. The latter curves downward into the rock.

Poljen whistles for his eagle. "Let me send the bird outside to scan from above. We shall make sure none are hiding at this level. I almost said above ground. But as we are in a flying castle, it is all above ground!" He closes his eyes and sends the bird outside to scout the exterior of this amazing building.

Tazskan, also eager to look around follows Cratol and the others. While, searching discovers his gear in the Pilot room.
"Here, is something familiar," he notes, as he stashes the plate armor. On his back, in a fashion with some rope.
"This, will come in handy especially if I have to take on a Dragon," addressing Velon and the others.
"I'm still interested in the prospects of trying to construct a ballista, for Zarra, from spare timber, and that Giants bow", Tazskan adds.
Out of Character: If no one else, has taken care of the two sleeping guards, sleeping near barrels of ale. Tazskan will quietly swing his two handed sword, decapitating them both.
