Aura remained near the door and put her hand on the shoulder of her closest ally. Transferring her perception to that of her hawk's.
"I'll look. Just cover me, shout or something if shit happens." She muttered though her voice came not from her mouth but from that of the hawk's. The bird then took off from Aura's shoulder and flew down the trap door after the Steel Defender. At least with the bird down there none of her party had to risk being trapped in the basement. Nanna May seemed to be honest with them but Aura still wasn't going to test it, not with her own body at least.
The hawk flew down into the basement in search of traps as well as to simply examine what was in the basement, if anything in particular peeked her interest of that of her party.
Perception from the Hawk=
10/
21Hawk has Keen sight, advantage on perception checks that rely on sight. If it's dark in the basement it's a straight roll for the lack of dark vision. So
10 if it's a straight roll
21 if there is light down there.
