Philemon stays alert as Artaith gathers the items of interest and the others of your group confer. With the benefit of a few uninterrupted moments he notes the room appears relatively unused, with a few signs of habitation such as discarded heavily-gnawed bones (some suspiciously human-looking) knocked into the corners.
Elethielle meanwhile looks over the slain anthropomorphic mole-creatures:

Elethielle knowledge (1d20+6)[21]
While not common, these creatures are known as mogura-jin, a race of cannibalistic "mole-men", descended and
degenerated from human beings. Drawing together what you've seen so far, it seems a reasonable conclusion that the mutated humans you have encountered are unfortunates that have partially transformed into these mogura-jin.
Investigating beyond, the doorway leads through to a room clearly used as a lair by these mole-men. Evidently the room was used for storage at some time in the past, for there are several large alcoves in the room, each one large enough for a person to stand in, each of them carved with stone shelves. More detritus, meat scraps and crude sleeping spaces indicate it's current usage. There are no further exits from the room.
