Boggs orders his number 3 and 4 men to go to the hallway and bring back the 5 and 6 man (or is the other way around? ;)) "Gather everyone together in the boat room. We are pushing deeper into the dungeon."

Morin pokes his head, and his bright lantern, into the L-shaped intersection beyond the doorway. He peers about."The way to the left opposes us with another dratted doorway; I suggest we instead venture forward, leaving perhaps a brace of Boggsmen at the intersection to guard our rear flank."

Re: (084) The Churchcroft Cellar

Brother Walfried has the door, and is the first to peer out, followed by 6ft tall Morin.

The door opens into the crook of an L-shaped passage, so that there are two routes; ahead and left. Ahead, the passage runs 40-50ft to a left turn. To the left, the passage traverses 50-60ft before coming to another door. As before, all is dark, cool, and quiet in this part of the labyrinth...
What now?

Re: (084) The Churchcroft Cellar

Brother Walfried picks up his torch & returns it to his pack. Then, assuming that there are no objections, the doughty old campaigner steps out into corridor and proceeds ahead 40-50 ft to the left turn and peers around it.
I'm working off the exploration marching order, which places Walfried & Mero in the 1st rank, with a torchbearing Boggsman behind.

Also, clarification on the "left" passage: does it a) end in a door, or does it b) pass a door on the left or right & continue? My understand is (a).

Yes; the left passage ends at a door.

Re: (084) The Churchcroft Cellar

Brother Walfried strides ahead to check the left-turn while the company forms up behind him. He reaches the turn without incident ('tis the merest stroll), then looks around to see the passage continues for a like distance before turning right. He sees no obvious impediment to his further progress...
That was a move; another move remains to this turn. What have ye?
