Ramirez offers a Silence , meeting mixed reviews on upon who to cast it and when. For now, he does not cast the spell
Yrul moves to investigate the darker sleeping area.
Gaffer scans the floor for clues about where Sasha might be.
The rest of the group remains at the intersection.

Yrul approaches cautiously and sweeps the chamber ahead of her. Aside from the ornate pillows, exotic furs and silk and satin blankets, Yrul finds a couple of hidden stashes, though part of her wishes she didn't. Numerous gem stoned rings, gold and platinum necklaces, diamond encrusted anklets, and several pairs of exotic gemstone earrings. Nearly all with the appropriate body part still attached. Sasha apparently likes to gnaw on things at night. Yrul estimates the values of the collection around 160,000gp

Gaffer finds little sign on the stone floor of Sasha directly, but he does finds enough to prove that the tiger is big, 16, maybe 20' long with paws the size of a mans chest.

Nira and Hmerrin notice something that stands out somewhat as well. Down the corridor away from the sleeping area, trying to make itself very small indeed, you spy a living rat backed into a niche, its golden eyes staring at you with a mix of hatred and fear.

"We found some stuff, but...uh....it's all really quite icky. Did you still want it?" Yrûl whispered. Whispering seemed to be the wisest course as it felt to her like the creature really wasn't very far from home. Seeing the rat, she too was very much of a mind that it was most likely more than it appeared to be. Sadly, she had no means to communicate with it, so deferred to others that might whilst she kept an ear open for any approaching trouble. The rat might be a distraction!

"Normally I could talk to them, but not on this plane." Gaffer answers Ram with a sigh, before getting restless as he realises their movement slowed "I think we should move quickly. We don't know if or when they'll react to the damage we've already done on the way here."

Hmerrin fixes his stare upon the rat, making sure it knows he knows its there.
"Stay," he commands roughly.

To Ramirez he adds, "Let's just assume its a nasty, evil, spy. Or maybe even a Rak. Or worse."
To Yrul - "Grab whatever you can in a few seconds that is most expensive and least icky."

The fighter gives a quick look right and left.
"There's supposed to be an iron door around here somewhere."

However, until Nira has confirmed rat isn't something else, the fighter is reluctant to go poking around.

Nira doesn't trust the rat as far as she could kick it. Every animal they've faced so far has been warped and powerful in ways they just aren't back in the Wold.

She fishes about in her kit for the gem of seeing, but has low hopes of it working all the same. "The divination spells have been blocked since we arrived on this plane" she explains "And it's super annoying"

"As gross as this might sound, do we toss the rat 'something' to eat?"

Highlight to display spoiler: {Not sure if we kept the gem or not. I don't think it is going to matter in this instance but we'll need to confirm one way or the other and have everyone mark off a share of loot}

Several of The Tide spy the rat and point out the creature. The last most saw Golden Eyes, she was an impressive white tigress, in charge of all rakshasa in the Wold. But when she and the bull headed Gilgamesh were killed, her vaporous 'soul' was blocked and only Gilgamesh's proceeded beyond. Now, presumably to here. So did the Maharaja bring her back somehow just to torment her more, given the evidence of so many dead rats? Hard to say, Nira goes for the Gem of Seeing, but no longer has it. Likely sold so time ago.

Ramirez inquire about possibly talking to it, Gaffer responds that, if it were a normal rat sure, but here?
Hmerrin takes some command and calls out for Yrul to grab the stuff, for the rat to 'Stay' and then gets to looking for the iron door. To the right is the sleeping chamber which Yrul is standing in. To the left down the corridor, the passage opens into another chamber past the cowering golden eyed rat, where from here, the party can spot several sets of bloodied manacles bolted to the floor.

DM as far as I can see, they party does not have a Gem of Seeing. No one has 10k accounted for on their sheet for Gem of Seeing and only Hmerrin and Gaffer have the 10k for the Flying carpet.

Once he's passed it, he'll divert his attention to the room itself.

Desdichado really doesn't like the idea of this rat being a rakshasa, or a rakshasa spy, and just leaving it here. And if Sasha appears, ratty may work up the courage to attack anyway. He keeps both eyes firmly on the rat.

Ramirez will keep an eye on the rat while the team loots and searches. Can't talk to it, but maybe can still show intention? He tosses the rat a few morsels of food.

Yrul shrugged. If they wanted her to grab icky stuff, she'd grab icky stuff. She just wasn't going to carry it. Hopefully it would fit into a magical bag. So she set about carefully picking up those items of value that she'd spotted.

Hmerrin moves into the chamber to the left and on the far wall spies an iron door. The ‘feeding’ spot the dwarf mentioned about 4’ high 2’ wide, the iron door hinged to open towards you.
The golden eyed rat merely shrinks away as much as it can as the fighter passes.
Des is not a fan of the rat and keeps his eyes on it.
Ramirez passes by and tosses a small morsel of food, eliciting a hateful hiss, but no more.
Yrul does her best to separate nasty bits of humanoid from treasure without touching anything. As she does not have any magical carrying anything, she starts to create a small pile. The 5 rings are looking to be the most challenging.
Danko casts Detect Magic and finds that divinational magic is also being suppressed.

Hmerrin finds the door is indeed bolted from the other side, but his careful inspection also discovers, hidden to the side of the hinges, is a small fake rock that if slid, causes the bar on the other side of the door to pull away causing the door to ‘snap’ into the floor. Sasha can open her door at will and quite unexpectedly down into the floor instead of a traditional swing whenever the cat wants to.

With the door open, Gaffer is keen to move through, though suggests, "Is there a way for us to close it again behind us?" and he helps check if there is.

Further in the tunnel, he'll keep his eyes on the floor and walls, still trying to judge when they might run into who and what along the way.

Okay, they've got a way through, but the rat is still a concern.

"Got an idea," he remarks. "If it is just a rat, I should be able to do this without getting hurt much."

Hmerrin returns to the rat, crawls in after it, and grabs it.
If he manages to accomplish all that, he stuffs it into his bag of holding.

Yrul carefully arranged the pile of goodies.

"You sure you really want this stuff?" She asked looking at it sceptically. If they hadn't have asked, she'd have left it all where it lay.

Beyond the door is small 10x10 room with a butcher table, thankfully clean and empty, and a rack of 4 barrels or rather large kegs. There is a wall of butchers equipment and a scrap shoot with a grating covering it. A stout looking wooden door leads out of it.
As the party discusses what to do next, the iron door snaps shut again. Moving the rock opens it and it apparently automatically closes after a few moments.
Yrul asks about the goo covered treasure and again inquires and again has no intention of putting any of it in her pack.
Hmerrin has an idea on the rat and goes to grab it. It hisses and claws and bites for all its worth, but in the end, it ends up in a bag of holding.

We need a Sub for Nira. anyone?

Nira watched and listened. It would not do to be surprised by such a petty distraction as the rat. her thoughts turned to the matter of Divination: it seemed restricted here; still it would be better to ascertain what worked now rather than later.

Detect Magic in the area.

"What?" Yrul asked as she entered the room only in time to see the rat thrust into the sack. "Why were we collecting that icky stuff if no one wants it? And, you do know that there's only a finite amount of air in that bag, right? She wasn't worried for the rat...much, as every creature here seemed inherently nasty.

Desdichado eyes the rat carefully as Hmerrin puts it away. "I guess sometimes a rat is just a rat," he shrugs. "Oh, don't feel sorry for it, Yrul," he adds, "it's not really an animal. It's the same kind of thing the rakshasa are, I think."

He points to the wooden door, figuring that's their next step.

Ramirez casts prestidigitation and uses the spell to clean up the loot, then scoops it into a bag. He then uses the spell to clean off his hands, and Yrul's if she would like to.

Ok, into the door then? And the rat should be ok in there for awhile, the air will last much longer than it would for a person.

The Palace

Ramirez cleans the treasure, his hands and Yruls. The jewelry and such is then swept into a bag.
Des reassures Yrul to not feel bad for the 'rat' as it almost is certainly not one, but a form of Rakshasa.
Hmerrin tries the door and finds that it is unlocked and he slowly opens it.

Beyond the door is another room with several more cutting board tables, shelves and everything a small kitchen preparatory place might need, including butchering utensils and hanging hooks. Thankfully, all hooks are empty and the room is clean and put away. A door exits this room into a rosewood tiled hall. Sage and lavender smells fill the air and though no source can be seen, the hall is well lit. It extends 80' with 3 doors spaced at 20, 40 and 60' on the right hand side

Pleased to be away from the "icky" stuff, Yrul and her 'friends' scampered off down the corridor being vigilant for trouble; that was particularly true for traps. At the first door she paused and listened, before carefully examining it for traps and locks.

Nira pursed her lips in thought. It seemed that divination was decidedly impaired in this realm. Perhaps though, that could work in their favour. They would not be detected by scrying. Perhaps. It was perfectly possible that the Rakshasas operated under an entirely different set of rules.

She followed on, doing her best to keep noise to a minimum without necessarily holding anyone up.

~~~

If the group is going slowly and striving for stealth, so will she, but if speed is deemed more important, that's the pace she goes.
