QM: I think with the Engineer, the Nurse and Chirurgeon both dead, and their fellow Drudge incapacitated by blunt trauma delivered from your Trench Mace blow, recognition and understanding will finally dawn upon the two unwitting and brutish remaining Drudges, who will flee this area as they are chased by the screeching crows from your summoned invocation (I do not think your command of magic is strong enough to kill them outright though); the Drudges will seek to raise the alarm and call for reinforcements.
Also, I will let your friendly crow swarm carry you across the chasm of the ventilation shaft, so that you can collect the healing item directly.

QM: Whilst I prepare the next area maps and miniatures - You have an opportunity now to make any other preparations, use items, cast rites etc. You can also attempt to perform some scavenging rolls (for simplicity, this time just roll 1d6).
optional:
>Roll 1d6 to scavenge for items>Shoot the two fleeing Drudges in the back as they are pursued by your vengeful cawing birds - no roll, they will just both be killed, but it will deplete the two remaining bullets in your Galand revolver. Perhaps it is worth it, if it prevents them from alerting any alarms or reinforcements?>write-in any additional preparations / actions before moving into the area ahead
