Shay shakes the sleep out of her arms and legs after "standing in place" for the last four days.
As the others check the bodies and look for an access to the building, she will play the role of lookout and keep very aware of the groups surroundings.
In looking for windows you find several if you walk the entire exterior of the house on the ground level there are 6 windows all boarded up you cannot make anything out through them. You can hear what sounds like people walking around inside though none are aware anything is wrong outside. Crow walks over to the large tree and notices what looks like a concealed poorly with brush is a door going into the ground?
In searching the bodies again you find similar weapons and armor as the other bandits you have killed thus far. Leather or studded leather armor worn in fair condition. Short swords and daggers of poor quality. A measly 10 gp total on all 5 dead men. One has a short bow of crude make with some flight arrows looking like they might have been made by the man himself. None of the men carries a key perhaps the door is unlocked?

Canis(Crow) watches the boarded up windows, searching any for slits in the wood for someone to look out from, if so he will stay out of eyesight of those if possible. He kneels down and inspects the door, searching for any traps laid on it. If none are present he will see if the door is unlocked, opening it only slightly.
If any of the other members are watching him he will quietly wave them over while the other members take out those in the house.
Life is a roller coaster, if you don't stop to enjoy it then you may as well not even ride.
Canis checks the odd our of place door at the base of the tree for traps finding none. The door feels like it is not locked in any manner. Strange but yet curious.

The door opens to reveal a hidden staircase going down into some sort of man made tunnel or underground cellar perhaps it connects back into the cellar of the house?

The entrance is poorly lit there appears to be a keg or barrel at the bottom of the stairs emitting a dim light from a lit candle sitting atop the keg or barrel. Descending the walls are made of tight packed dirt or soil. The stairs are wooden inlaid into the ground there is a very earthy smell as Canis gets further inside.
