If Figgis gives word that it’s clear, Yenny lets out the light and follows the gang.

Chet takes his spetum in both hands, and prepares to venture into the next room. He expects battle.

"I got me a bad feeling about this," says Angus. He waits for the scouting report.

Hyde awaits the command, and he'll moved forward, ready to take the first hit.

Figgis scouts ahead again. As Yenny shines her light in, he sees that the room is indeed bare. Inspection of the floor reveals faint, faded bloodstains. There also appear, at regular intervals, sets of holes in the ground. After some thought, the best estimate is that several large tables were once anchored to the floor in this room. But aside from the faint stains, nothing else in the room is remarkable - upon first glance. A single, simple wooden door stands closed in the north end of the room.

Figgis will carefully enter the room, checking for traps. Then the dwarf will check the walls for secret doors before approaching the door to the north.

(and he will check the ceiling as well...)

OOC: Sorry for my absence, my ill health interfered again.

Yenny wanders back to the open door leading to the stalactite room and listed carefully for one of the other doors to open. Her light is mostly shining within the skeleton room.

Hope you're feeling better, Tamerlaine

Figgis and Galan make their way, carefully and methodically, along the walls searching for secret doors. Much of the party stands at the ready, watching them ply their craft. The contrast in methods employed by gnome and dwarf is striking, though each effective. The dwarf relies on his feel of hands over stone and careful inspection for gaps. The gnome relies on tapping, looking for structural anomalies.

DM rolls a bunch of dice

Sophomore gives Kablamicus an incredulous look, but complies with his master's request. He flaps around the room, looking to see if others have missed anything else in the darkness. Figgis and Galan have checked half the room for secret doors, now at opposite corners. The owl, satisfied nothing is being missed, flies to the door and listens.

DM rolls more dice

The keen-eared avian creature hears nothing on the other end.

Yenny watches the stalactite room for movement of any of the other doors. She observes nothing.

Finally, Galan and Figgis meet at the northern door. The 30 minutes they have spent looking for doors has seemed an eternity in this silent environment. The party is well satisfied that no secret doors or other items lie in the room.

Hyde grumbles something unintelligible and glances to Angus, waiting for the Ranger's go-ahead.

Kablambicus

Takes out a treat of some sort, looking like a not quite cured piece of jerky nugget. He hands it up to Sophomore with a nod. "Well done." he will resume his place in the marching order and keep his eyes open for things of interest. He makes particular mental note of the stalagtite creatures and the fine skeletal specimens to report back to the guild.

Once they get to the door, Galan offers. "I'll check the door." He looks around the frame for holes hiding stuff, and the floor for pressure plates before turning his attention to the handle itself.

Chet continues his vigilant watch. He still holds his spetum.

The short folk test the area around the door carefully, pushing on it slightly, examining the edge of the door for traps...

DM rolls dice

...they find nothing amiss.

The door stands silently in front of them.

So far, so good, Hyde's gravelly voice can be heard at a low level.

Chet, perhaps growing impatient, runs at the door as soon as Galan declares it clear. He delivers a strong kick to the middle of it, and with a *boom* it flies open. It yields to the monk's mighty foot, but would it have yielded to the turn of a knob just as easily? The party may never know.

Regardless, the now-open archway reveals what lies beyond. A corridor continues several feet ahead, where it yields to stairs heading down into the darkness, out of the range of light. A corridor also branches off the right and heads northward.
