Dieter quickly but efficiently dons his armor, then takes Olaf's bow from him to cover the rest while they do the same.

We don't proceed until everybody is ready.

Short bow + 20 arrows
Helmet
2 Shields
Torches
Oil for his lantern (and other purposes)
Anti-Venom/anti-toxin (if available)

As Olaf is presently indisposed, I will assume only that Dieter organises a replacement helm, shield, and a flask of lantern oil for Olaf (total 46sp).

Anti-venom is not readily available... it could possibly be bought from an alchemist, but one would first have to locate an alchemist.

Olaf left his bow and arrows behind in the depths of the Ogres' dunjon. He has not yet had time to replace them.

In that case, after armoring up, Dieter will get out his sling and cover the rest as they likewise prepare.

Within ten minutes or so, the entire company have crawled down the cramped stairs to stand, in the somewhat confined space of the cellar.

Ulric and Josiane are the last to descend, and Olaf and Dieter laboriously haul their coats of mail rings back over their shoulders and huff and fuss with straps and buckles in the semi-dark.

What now?

Ulric raises his lantern trying to cast as much light about the cellar as possible. He scans the ceiling, walls, and floor for holes or crevices in which vermin could be concealed.

"Did anyone check those crates or that hole in the ground you were first down here?" he asks.

Desmond responds, as he and Mondes scan the walls and ceilings, as well, "We didn't make it down the stairs. We got this far, saw the centipedes and the hole, and, prudently, headed back to inform the rest of you what we saw."

Dorgan begins to cautiously, slowly move forward.

"We walked up a bit further than this, actually. Mebbe 30 feet more afore we spotted the centipede behind the hole, up on the wall. Let's move up a bit and see if the wee beastie is still a'lurking."

Clear the area before checking for treasure what a novel concept!" Olaf chuckles gripping his sword and adjusting to this antique shield.

Josiane will take the opportunity to don her armour as well.
