Drawing up to the door, Mukuli bends over to examine the latch. It appears to be a simple catch, likely barred from the inside, but you should be able to gain access without great difficulty. As Mulkuli concentrates on the door Sargon and Ari-Nasir both notice something deeply unsettling, something neither of you haven't ever actually seen before... at least not in this state.
