He turns down the left corridor.

KOCH follows behind Desmond.

And continues down the left passage.

Then he examines the closed door for how it may be opened. Is there a handle, a knob, an obvious lock or keyhole?
Olaf will do what is needed to check to see if the door is locked, but he isn't trying to open it right now, just whether it is locked or not.

IC: Desmond notices the light growing dim as he walks further away from the intersection, turns around, shrugs his shoulders, and walks back to wait and see what Olaf wants to do.

He stands in place, removes his helmet and listens down the hall to determine if anyone is approaching or hiding in the shadows.
Wibert is remembering this place now. He holds his axe and shield ready for any trouble.waysoftheearth wrote:The South-East Stair
Now Desmond clambers his way down the narrow stair in the eerie blue-white light provided by Olaf.
The stair really is uncomfortably steep for a Halfling, but Desmond doesn't complain, and soon he finds he has rounded two or three bends and finds himself at a landing. The stair continues to descend into cool darkness, but here on this level a stone passageway leads a short distance to an intersection, where there is a closed door directly ahead, while open passages run to the left and to the right...
What now?
Wibert comes trotting down the stair to Olaf. This area was always off limits to the demi-Humans. Men only. So Wibert knows of it only by rumour -- down here was the gambling parlour.heartless wrote: OOC: What does he recall is behind the door ahead? And in this passage?
"Go right ahead." Olaf says as he moves slightly aside to let Wibert to the door.heartless wrote:Wibert is remembering this place now. He holds his axe and shield ready for any trouble.waysoftheearth wrote:The South-East Stair

OOC: What does he recall is behind the door ahead? And in this passage?
Wibert comes forward and offers in a quite voice, "Olaf let me listen on the door and I will examine for any traps also."
