((Skip me.))
Neither the Imperator or the Betrayer had anything useful to add to the situation. They were too busy trying to figure out a way to stab the other behind the back when they least expected it.

"Well, shall we?" Emma asked, impatience creeping into her tone. "Or would we rather wander aimlessly through these halls?"

Suzy ran her hands through her hair, aggravated by the lackluster support they had gotten - especially from the boys, who had no excuse to be hesitant. "Look, if no one else is going to be the one to go in there, I will! Emma, will you give me the blade so I'm not going to be completely unprepared for the giant, bloodsucking sp-"
"Actually, whoever it was had small fingers. This is some great lock picking," Eli commented.

"Or you could just you know, go in there and get eaten. We'll sneak by while the monster feasts on your carcass." Remus thought. The Imperator imagined everything from rhinos and bears mauling her to more alien creatures swallowing her whole. But his heart sank a little when Eli mentioned that whoever had gone in there was likely a tiny little rat-elf similar to Rak.

((Fine. Posting.))
Kaok stood there as the rest tried to make decisions. "If we're going to enter, we might as well all go in. If this is the way out and there's danger in there, then it's still the way out and we'll be stronger together."

"Keep Emma in the back."
"What? No!"
"Lead the way, Eli."
The nobles both hefted their swords, pulling up a shield around all eight (Suzy and Romulus included after a brief pause for thought).

"Me?" Eli said, going pale. He may have been able to go into a hand-to-hand fight once upon a time, but not being able to make a fist with one's right hand did make things harder.
Suzy did not look his way. With no one else willing to do the dangerous work of going in first, she might as well do it, rather than stand there bickering until whatever had gotten in there decided to die of old age. The door opened smoothly and silently, into a room that was not very well-lit. The light from the corridor spilled out, betraying their presence as much as a squeaky door would have. There was a squeal, and a crash, and a cascade of... stuff, would be the proper word, came cascading to the party's feet.
There was wrinkled clothing in the mess, all of it male clothing, and various other trinkets - notably, Eli's pistol, which he picked up with great relief.
[ Alright, boys. Your stuff is here. Girls are gonna have to wait. ]

A little more digging revealed the daggers that the Lord of Bainbridge had hidden on his person at all times. Most of his other things were salvaged easily, but there was one thing still missing.
Emma darted forward, seeing a glint of gold in the pile. "Here."
Both breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of his wedding ring.

"Well that's a relief. Seeing your physique left me nearly choking on my own bile." Romulus said to his brother.
"I think you've forgotten that we're the exact same model and we're identical in every way except for that ugly a** line of pubic hair under your chin. It must be tough if you're vomiting every time you look in the mirror." Remus replied, picking out his pulse rifle and plasma blade. He took a moment to slip on his own wedding band.
Romulus chuckled, but it was to hide the fact he didn't really have a comeback. The Betrayer rifled through his clothing and made sure all his things were there. It felt good to hold his staff again.

Kaok wanted to say, Funny, because I was quite enjoying the view of his physique, but thought that inappropriate at the present time. She wanted to set an example after all.

"It looks like there's other people's stuff here, too," Suzy commented idly and picked up a rather large button shirt. She jumped about three feet in the air when she was greeted by a face.
"Er - hi," Gaila said meekly, not able to recognize anyone in the dim light.

Both nobles had swords drawn in an instant and spells forming in the air around them.
"Oh. Galia."
A little abashed, both lowered their weapons and let their spellfire fade.
"Dare I ask why you are here?"

"Cool swag?" Gaila offered, holding up an armful of watches.
Suzy put on the shirt she had picked up while Gaila looked around the room, trying to see who was there. Gaila knew all of them ( except Romulus), especially her favorite.
"Remus!" she cried, flinging herself at him.

Gaila would fine a hand pressed firmly on her forehead, holding her at bay
"Not so fast, pirate. A Roman merchant vessel got attacked last week."
Romulus raised a brow.
