Thad and Helena: the two of you struggle a bit, but manage to drag Lenny back into the first room you entered, at the base of the stairs. Lenny visibly improves when he is out of that room, but he is still unconscious. His breathing seems easier and his muscles relax. After a few minutes, he slowly opens his eyes.
Lenny: you wake up on your back at the base of the stairs. Thad and Helena are sitting next to you, staring down with concerned looks on their faces. When you look around, you can see the door standing open and the horrible scene still waiting for you. You twitch and shudder, but you feel better than you did before. You have a few fleeting memories of the sensations of rats swarming over you and shredding your flesh. You're not sure if you will ever forget that experience.
Everyone, make a perception check.

He comments dully to no one in particular;
"...rats.. There were rats."

Helena kneels next to Lenny. "I think... I think he saw the rat monster I did, but I don't understand what happened to him after."

Helena and Thad: you both look at each other when Lenny mentions rats. In that moment, you can tell that you both saw something strange and have a good sense that it has something to do with what Lenny is muttering about.
Lenny: you are still woozy. You manage to sit up, but the room swims around you. You drop your head to your hands and groan.
Helena: from the room that was originally to your left as you came down the basement stairs (the East door) you hear a low moan, similar to noises Lenny is currently making, and some rustling. You then hear a few grunts and growls, but they don't sound like animal noises.
Thad: from the room that was originally straight ahead as you came down the basement stairs (the South door) you hear a deep metallic tone, as if a gong is being rung. And you seem to feel a rush of wind move past you and swirl around the room.

"Helena, watch Lenny. I hear something from the other room."
Thad readies his pistol and walks in to the next room.

Thad: you try to, but come up short as you bump into the door. You take a step back, slightly stunned. Reaching down, you try the knob. It turns freely, but the door will not move. The noise is louder, though.

Thad is checking the room to see if there are any hidden buttons that may release any sort of lock the door may have. Thad will also check the room in general for any hidden door ways or panels other than the eastern door and the southern door he is standing in front of.

As he comes around, the big guy checks his face frantically to see if it's still there. Reassured, Lenny gets up rubbing his head groggily. He grabs his cane and pistol, falling in behind Thad
"Not quite sure what happened there, must've taken a knock on the head.

Lenny: you get to your feet. The room is still spinning but you are able to move with the aid of your cane. You see Thad trying a door and coming up short. He starts to poke around and inspect the door and the wall around it. As you move over, you hear a low tone, like a gong being rung. You shake your head, thinking at first that it's your ears ringing. But then you realize it's coming from the room behind the shut door.
Thad: You cannot find any hidden buttons or panels. As you inspect the south door, you are certain it is open and unlocked, but just being held closed by something behind it. Your investigation also reveals that the door to the east is open and unlocked and is easily pushed open, but the room beyond the door is pitch black. When you're over that way, you hear a low moan. You're not sure, but it sounds like the groans of a man in pain.

Lenny taps anxiously for Thad to open the door. After his last experience he's none too anxious to see what's on the other side.
"What's banging on that damned Gong?"

Helena, feeling somewhat hypnotized by her fear, doesn't follow the boys to the door. She knows she heard something from the other room. She has her gun back from when they subdued Lenny, and has it drawn and she opens the door.

Seeing as how Thad can not open the door with the noise behind it, he heads over to join Helena in searching in the room with the groaning sound.

All: the door swings open easily. It's pitch black in the room, but the light streams in from behind you. You can see a large shape in the middle of the floor. After a moment, you realize that it's a man, sitting half slumped over, on the floor. His arms are tied behind him. He shifts a little and the light falls across his face.
You are looking at William Henshaw.
