try to quietly sneak into the room without getting the rats’ attentions

[Superdorf]

Speak softly over our shoulder: "Many rats, all piled as one. "

try to quietly sneak into the room without getting the rats’ attentions

Then do this. If the rats show any sign of having noticed us, we'll need to quickly reassess the situation...

[March]

You speak softly over our shoulder, "Many rats, all piled as one. "
You attempt to sneak into the room; you enter with ease...
Makdt attempts to enter the room; she passes into the doorway and the sound of a handbell rings out for ten seconds, the mound of rats is alerted... it melds together into the form of a rat-morph and stands up on two legs!
It looks towards Makdt and says, "Have you come to defile the dead?"
Makdt quite sheepishly says "No."

[Superdorf]

Oops. Spelltrap. Alarm spell, set to go off in the presence of living creatures. Clever little thing, really.
"Oh! Hello! We are just passing through."
"What is this place?"

[March]

"Oh! Hello! We are just passing through." you say, the rat-morph looks at you seemingly trying to determine your motives.
"What is this place?", you ask "This is a resting place for the dead." the rat-morph says plainly.

[Superdorf]

"So I see... who rests here?"

[March]

"So I see... who rests here?", you ask which confuses the rat-morph "The dead."

[Naturegirl1999]

Who were they, what were their names?”

[March]

"Who were they, what were their names?” you ask but the rat-morph just says, "We don't know."

[Naturegirl1999]

”Are the large centipedes a problem or do they not bother the dead?”

[March]

”Are the large centipedes a problem or do they not bother the dead?”, you ask and the rat-morph tells you "Tasty bugs don't bother the dead."

[Superdorf]

Smile. "Well then, I will leave you to your own de-vi-ces. Good hun-ting, strange guardian."
Move to open the west door. Unless the rat-thing reacts negatively at our motion, go on through.

[March]

You do the face stuff, "Well then, I will leave you to your own de-vi-ces. Good hun-ting, strange guardian."
You move to carefully open the west door; the rat-morph defensive of the graveyard starts to follows you.
You open the door unto a larger graveyard; dimly lit by shafts of light falling from above, there looks to be a fine stone monument in the center of this room, the far side of the room has a caved in door and another intact looking sister.
There are several ordinary appearing rats scurrying about amongst the remains.

[Superdorf]

Take the northwest door.

[March]

You carefully cross the room with Makdt and the rat-morph behind you, and cautiously open the door; to a stone hallway with little light, rough demonic looking faces with wide open mouths have been carved into the entirety of the walls, the floor is smooth as is the ceiling.
