"I will take the potion Adrik says". He will take it and put it away.

"I like spiders." Flatbelly says. Then, "GG, you were down the hole when we were attacked, right? Did you find anything? Was it dead end?"

============================================
(OOC: Why back to the house? I vaguely remember three things: 1. Old abandoned storage room. 2. Some place that was covered with sand trying to hide tracks. 3. the hole GG wanted to test but I think he was interrupted. Right?
Did the "covered" track lead somewhere?
)

Before pairing up with GG, Tornak will go investigate the other bodies for clues as to why they are here and what they may be up to. He will also search or anything that might be salvageable, specifically one of the crossbows and hopefully some bolts they use (but not limiting his search to solely those items)

On the other corpses, you find 4 more daggers the same as the one found on the Sorcerer. The Great Axe being used by the Barbarian has a dark black handle, and a head that is made of the same metal. The rogues each have a vial with a thick sticky liquid, with a greenish tinge.

Between the corpses, you find 11 GP, and 10 SP.

No keys, or notes, or anything that could be construed as a clue.

The group as they search starts to feel the stress of the day wearing down on them.

The fight at the temple, then the skirmish here. It is now 10 PM.

"The blades decay in sunlight," warns GG. Presumably that's a dagger each and whoever wants the axe can have it (GG definitely isn't interested in that.)

"Good to keep going a little longer?" he asks. "Or do we need a short rest?"

Recalling Flatbelly's comments, GG replies, "You're welcome to any spiders we find. The hole? It went down further than i could see, so at leat 70' or 80'. I'd guess it leads to the Underdark, so maybe where these drow came from. Found anything? No. I was dangling on a rope when they cut it. I assume they can levitate or something similar. That's why I'm keen to finish going through this house so we can get back and report all this to the nobles."

======
Anyone worked out what's the coinage (11g 10s) split up between everyone present?

Flatbelly looks at the weapons and the greenish liquid, trying to figure if it is a poison they used against the team.
"Hmmm... OK. Maybe after the report we can return with levitation enabler."

"That make 2 GP piece each and 2 silver piece each" says Adrik.

"Who wants the extra gold piece?"

"I'd happily take it," says GG. "Walked into this with pretty much an empty coin pouch."

It's yours GG, says Adrik.

"Thank you kindly," replies GG with a slight but courteous bow.

"So, are we pressing on to explore the upstairs of the house? Or do you folks need a Short Rest?"

Flatbelly waits for the others to reply. He can go either way.

Renwick hefts the Drow barbarian's greataxe, scritching his bushy red-brown beard as he examines it. Couldn't hurt to take this little darlin' for a ride.... He shifts his typical axe to his back and rolls the haft of the newfound weapon in his hands.
Looking back at Adrick he grins, Lemme know if any start ta sneakin up behind us before they start the pincushion treatment if ya would. With a hearty laugh, he leads the way back up stairs.

just to clarify, there was no unexplored area south, was there?

Tornak claims a second dagger. (presuming everyone took from the 4 that were found on the remaining bodies) and collects the vials of greenish liquid, presuming Flatbelly allows, exclaiming "This might be interesting!"
With a nod to Renwick, Tornak prepares himself to continue on. "I didn't find any ranged weapons on these drow. We were shot at by the bridge. Keep alert."

"Let's head back and rest for the night."

"They could have spring cleaned the house be long gone by morning. But if you need to turn in, it's fine. I'm headed upstairs," says GG and moves back towards the house, keeping an eye out of archers (or crossbowers) as smeone had usefully warned.

======
A short rest (1 hour) might be a useful compromise..
