It was a little musty in there from being sealed up so long so she left it open. Plus easier get away if needed.
Can the cask be lifted?
Can I hear anything through the door?

With Velira's prodigious strength, she could lift the cask up but not move it anywhere. She could drag it, but wouldn't be able to get it up the ladder without a mechanism to hoist it up.
You hear no noises beyond the door.

Velira ponders her options:
Breaking down a locked door in the cellar of a renowned wizard...possibly not such a great idea....
One cask of unknown contents. Unable to solo lift out of cellar without additional equipment. Don't want to open/tap cask without additional equipment....
Velira climbs back up to the kitchen, closes the cellar door and recovers it with debris to disguise it. She makes plans to come back tomorrow with additional supplies.

Noting that Velira has still not emerged, Avarice approaches the structure, stepping inside and searcing for Velira.

Emerging from the kitchen, Velira sees Avarice inside the main room.
Oh... hello Avarice. I was just looking around to see if there was any indication of where Kaine may have gone but this place is just empty. And should probably be condemned...

"I see I'm not the only who has an interest in exploring our new little town. According to the legends, this dilapidated structure once belonged to a wizard named Kaine. Do you have a way to search this tent magically? I can search for mundane hiding spots and such, but I have a feeling that if there IS anything in this place, it won't be as simple as that. Are you up for spending a little extra time in here?"

Velira doesn't want to give up her findings, but also worries about Avarice finding the cellar after she leaves.
I did find a cellar. There was a locked door I could not open, and I was not comfortable trying to bash it open a potentially magical trap at this time. I need some additional supplies before I attempt anything with it.
And I don't want to be caught in here under full light. Best to avoid curious neighbors. Let us be off?

Avarice hides a smile by wiping a hand over his face. NOONE lies unless they're covering something up.
"I see. Sure, just let me know when you come back... I'd hate for something bad to happen to you while you're all alone. Who knows WHAT could be down there. Best leave it till we're both prepared for it."

Velira silently heads out the hut's doorway with Avarice behind her. She remains silent until they turn the corner and are away from the main walkway before she turns around to speak to him, eyes blazing with fury.
She speaks in a hushed, yet firm voice, gritting her teeth, "I do not care for your tone. Let's get something straight. Everything I said back there was the truth. There IS in fact a cellar. There IS a locked door. And I DO need additional supplies before proceeding forward. I do NOT want to trip a magical trap, possibly bringing that whole ramshackle structure down on my head. I also do NOT want townsfolk or the watch to see me poking around, because that just creates more questions.
I hesitated answering you, because, in all honesty, if there IS anything to be found in that room, it could either help us locate Kaine, be of significant historical or arcane value, or be of use to our little eclectic band of adventures. I, however, would like the opportunity to examine any such clues or items before they are sold to the highest bidder!"
On that note to does a quick turn around and marches off towards the library. Muttering about insufferable, arrogant bastards.

Avarice shakes his head and chuckles to himself as she stomps away. His curiosity is still peaked in the hut... but not enough to risk the wrath of one of the only party members that doesn't seem to disagree with him to often (there was the one time, with the minion, but whatever). He walks away, trying to decide if whatever may be in that hut is worth losing an ally...

[[OOC: Time passes until night before Velira's next planned outing]]
Velira checks her supply bag. Empty wineskins, crowbar, corks and wax, rope.... looks like everything. She places the pack next to the wooden pole and settles in for a few hours of sleep.

Velira sleeps without interruption.

About an hour before dawn Velira gets up, gathers her pack and heads towards Kaine's hut.
She slips into the hut, and makes her way to the kitchen. Avarice is not here yet, but she thinks she can at least start working on the cask while waiting.
She checks the area surrounding the trap door to see if it look like anyone has been here since she was.

The hut and trap door are still as they were when Velira last was here. The trap door is covered in a rotten food camouflage.

Velira moves the food and opens the door.
She does a quick look to make sure nothing is waiting downstairs before proceeding.
