Just as dawn is breaking, Velira climbs down from the roof of McGinty's and makes her way towards Kaine's hut. Rumor has it that nothing is left of value or interest. But it couldn't hurt to look before heading to breakfast then the library.

* Avarice notices Velira heading off into the town alone. He follows from an inconspicuous distance, interested in where she's heading off to.

Kaine's hut is in the southwest corner of town. It is built up against the southern wall of Sweetgrove and is a ramshackle place, seeming like it'd fall apart if a strong enough wind came by.
The door has been broken off its hinges, leaving nothing to bar entry.

Velira cautiously enters the hut, being careful to not topple any of the structure and looks around.

Inside, the hut looks even worse than the outside(somehow) and it appears that no one has been here in months. The whole place has been turned inside-out in what appears to be multiple lootings.
Shelves constructed by an imperfect hand that appear to have previously held books are bare, a table remains with weapon marks on it, and the bed has been cut into pieces by an excited treasure-seeker. From the direction of the kitchen comes a foul rotted food smell.

Velira wraps a small cloth around her nose and mouth to help dampen the smell and proceeds into the kitchen.

With her keen elven eyesight, Velira discovers a secret trap door in the kitchen, buried in rotted food that has been thrown out by someone searching through the pantry. A small o-ring painted to match the floor could open it, but it's difficult to say what you might find down there.

Velira looks back towards the main room to confirm there is no one watching/looking at/in the hut, before proceeding.

*Avarice is observing from afar, not close enough to see what's going on within the structure. He's more interested in where Velira is going, not what she is doing.

Velira not seeing or hearing anyone, palms her dagger so it is hidden from view, but easily usable. And opens the trap door.

The trap door is difficult to open, clearly not having been used in some time. Beneath it, Velira can see a ladder leading down into a cellar covered in many cobwebs.

*shudders* "I hate spiders..." Vel mutters.
Velira peers into the darkness attempting to see anything, especially creepy crawly inhabitants.

Velira's infravision allows her to easily penetrate the darkness. The cobwebs appear to be from the ordinary sort of spider and not the giant kind. The cellar appears to have four sealed casks and a closed door at the south end.

Not sensing anything out of the ordinary about the cellar, Velira descends.
Vel thoroughly searches the room. Paying close attention to the casks for any indication what might be inside them, as well as how large/heavy they might be.

(Is Valira leaving the trap door open or closed?) A thorough search reveals that three of the casks have actually been tapped, draining their contents out. One cask remains completely sealed and is substantially heavier than the rest. The south door is made of wood, shut and appears to have a lock on it.
