The girls are unconscious but alive, they look dehydrated but are stable and otherwise seem unharmed. Some magic has put them in this state but Yulya can somehow tell it's not permanent. Though whether they'll wake up in a hour or ten is anyone's guess.

Alice also musters the girls.
I really wonder what was going on here. I hope they can tell us when they wake up!

The remains of the supplies and items in the mine include:

Warhammer G 15gp 5lbs
Dwarven Ale Mug accented with Electrum G 50gp, .5lb
Countless items of ancient ruined and serviceable mining gear
Empty barrels that have a faint scent of ale

Alice is visibly disappointed.
That's all? A warhammer for you, Cat! The mug looks interesting, but is useless without ale! That's because of you, Mr. Skull! Without you we would have plenty of ale! Bad skull, bad! No more flaming!
Alice scolds the skull she's been carrying around in her net.

The only area left unexplored is the room Alice couldn't get in earlier. Given the mine is clear, it's only natural someone should check it out.

Passing by the smoldering carcass of the bulette, Alice sighs.
Haa...
Good friends we made
Good friends we lost
Along the way...

The bugbear gentlemen, the bulette and bird friends - all gone.
Alice knocks on the stony hide of the bulette as if probing a watermelon for ripeness
Hey Cat, can you eat bulette?

W20: Priests' Quarters:

Alice carefully opens the door with the thieves tools, wary of triggering another trap like with the chest on the first floor.

Dusty draperies of red and gold adorn the walls of this room, which also contains a bed and brazier. A badly disheveled dwarf lies bound and dead on the cold stone floor.
The figure lying on the floor is an unknown dwarf wearing commoner's clothes who may have been employed by Nezzner or kidnapped but at this point the middle-aged man is no more. He looks like he'd died within the last few days. Other than his clothes he's already looted.

Alice scratches her head.
What's a dead tied up dwarf doing in the broom closet? Was he the janitor? Did Nezzer abuse not only human girls but also dwarven men? What an odd guy...

Cat looks at the dead dwarf with concern. It's not Gundren Nya is it Nya? I'm not good at telling people apart Nya but he doesn't smell like him Nya... We shouldn't leave him like this Nya!
Cat cuts the rope binding the dwarf and wraps him in a drapery.

Alice helps to respectfully cover the corpse.
Yeah I guess, we don't want the dwarves to return and find one of their comrades laying around in this state. Wait, he's not gonna turn into an undead, right?
Alice looks at the brazier
Should we - cremate him? I have no idea about dwarf funeral rites...

Let us rest and eat now Nya! We should stay with the girls Nya! So what do you wanna eat Nya? We must hold a feast in Ashley's memory Nya! I'll cook while you rest Nya!

I'll opt for snake! But maybe we can spice it up with something else? You're right it needs to be a worthy celebration. Though not as Joy-ful as we hoped...
While Cat is cooking, Alice sets up the tent in the room near the girls but leaves them outside. First they are not clean enough for Alice-standards, second they might panic when waking up in an enclosed space.

Alice stares at the sleeping girls, her eyes narrow.
No, this won't do! I know you've been through a lot, but we have certain standards here. It's better I do this now, before you wake up...
Alice uses shape-self and phagocytosis.
A yellowish slimy mat engulfs the girls, removing the grit and dirt that accumulated since however long they were forced to stay in this mine. In return, moisture is replenished via their skin.

The girls are unconscious but alive, they look dehydrated but are stable and otherwise seem unharmed. Some magic has put them in this state but Yulya can somehow tell it's not permanent. Though whether they'll wake up in a hour or ten is anyone's guess.

Cat looks at the girls, relieved they seem to be alright.
Nya, they'll need food and drink when they wake up Nya! Let's give them some blankets for now Nya!
Cat donates her bedroll

Cat looks for a spot with enough draft, sets up a pot and starts cooking a meal for 5 persons according to Alice's and Yulya's wishes.

Weird, shoulders are basically fine again, no issue at today's gym session. Physiotherapist again made host do a lot of weird movements and exercises which caused no notable pain.

Now both shoulders slightly hurt. I think it's from some weird sideways-sleeping posture. Definitely not gym-related.
