Highbough will take his lantern back to the ante-chamber so that Wibert has more room to investigate the trap (and Guntram is not left in the dark).

OOC:
Guntram, Josiane, Gustave and Dorgan are in the ante-chamber.
Guntram has Wibert's torch.
Everyone else, including Wibert, is in the first vault.
The door which Wibert has just checked is in the first vault.
Highbough and Ulric have lanterns in the first vault.

Josiane is content to hold her position as long as she has light to see by.
She maintains her watch on the unexplored passages.

Highbough will give the ante-chamber a going-over for any secret doors we might have missed on our way through. In particular he examines the four bas-relief statues (and their pedestals) for any inscriptions or moving parts/levers/mechanisms.

Dorgan regards Highbough with a mix of amusement and curiosity.
"I looked at them statues pretty good the last time we was here. We'll see if'n your Elven eyes see any different then my Dwarf ones."

It appears to be of stout timber construction, bond with wrought iron re-enforcements. It appears hinged on the left side so that it will open into the space beyond. There is a large, black iron handle on the right-hand side of the door.
The "crack" in the ground runs to within inches of the right-hand edge of the door.
"The door looks like we could open it but I think we should leave it alone until we've search the open areas first.", says Olaf.

That's all Dieter needs to hear. He continues in the direction he was going.
If he reaches the crack and can go no further, he'll get out his grappling hook which is tied firmly to his loyal rope. Tying the rope around his middle, he'll pass the hook (folded, at present) to the next in line and say "hold this, will you?"
Then he'll step over the crack...

"I will." Olaf says walking over, "but it might take both of us to hold big Dieter!"
Olaf takes hold of the rope and says "Go for it!"

For what it's worth, Desmond helps Olaf.
