"Whoah--why are we picking the lock on the door we think leads to the wizard we're hoping to talk to instead of knocking like the polite killers that we are? If we're trying to surprise him, we should probably bash it in. Otherwise, it seems like this is going to get the discussions off rather...

Yenny "We could do that. I'll get ready to silence us after we knock and start talking--if things get ugly."

Yenny's voice comes from near the door. "Should we open this door or head down the hall? It ends in a door about 30 feet around the corner."

Yenny whispers to Galan, "I'll go check around the corner if you want to listen at the door." She has her invisible flail ready to flail.

A voice from nowhere... "I could make us real quiet while we scout. I just pray and our sounds disappear. Otherwise, I'm a bit of an invisible tin can."

"I agree, but it's interesting that they don't know about the stalactite monsters. They must have stayed away from that end of the place for quite some time. Maybe the snake and those other creatures scared them off. Maybe the stalactites will spear a few of them for us. What do you think the ...

"Hmm. Well should we escort this person" indicating the orc "out of here?." We should be careful when we leave though--if the orcs are answering to humans, then the humans probably know that we're here and why." Yenny keeps her distance from Dandelion's culinary prep efforts.
