Josiane makes her examination of the door while Dorgan goes through the hardware. For all she can tell it is a regular, even rather flimsy, door.

She tries the doorknob, and it turns easily. She pushes the door open into the musty passage beyond. No trap nor alarm is triggered that is obvious to any of those present...

Josiane takes a good look at the corridor now she has a better view. How far does it run? Are there any doors or windows? Anything that looks out of the ordinary?

Mads, in a quiet voice, asks back "Anything?" while keeping a keen focus on the alley.

Dorgan turns to the warlock and just as quietly responds, "Nothing yet but the lady is checkin' it out."

The dwarf will make his way back to the interior door and wait for Josiane to either enter the hallway or clear the way. If the former, he'll closely follow. If the latter, he'll make his way in, take a couple steps forward, and then stop to listen and observe.

The door looks directly out into another wall. The dark, narrow corridor runs perpendicular, so Josiane can look left and right.

To her left she can see another door some way down the passage -- beyond which the passage carries on and vanishes into the gloom. To her right she sees that the corridor makes a sharp left turn a half-dozen or so paces away.

Josiane signals with her hand for the others to follow and begins to make her way cautiously to the left, heading towards the door.

If she reaches it without incident she will stop and listen at it.

Dorgan will turn around and point at Mads. He'll then point two fingers at his eyes, and then he'll point down the hallway to the right.

The dwarf will then turn back around and closely follow Josiane down the hallway to the left. As he walks, he'll observe the boxes and crates lining the hallway and see if he can determine what's in them without touching them.

Should anyone be seen in the hallway or coming out of the doorway, he'll step in front of Josiane, as space and the lady's intentions will allow.

Percy will walk behind the dwarf then (with Mads following him, I asumme).

Mads nods and follows suit.

Very good.

The company moves cautiously down the passageway to the left. Dorgan glimpses at some of the boxes as he passes... many of them being empty, others partially filled with unlikely things; worn out shoes, old fabrics, rusty nails, worn ropes, and so on.

Josiane reaches the door without incident and listens carefully...

(1d6)

...but doesn't hear anything out of the ordinary. Or anything much at all, for that matter.

Josiane goes to open the door, but then pauses, thinking to herself; "The gallant small gentleman seems very insistent on going first. Perhaps it is a point of honour among his people..?"

So she steps aside for Dorgan to approach the door, gesturing towards it with a questioning smile.

If Dorgan appears willing to open the door, she falls back into place in the marching order behind Percy.

Assuming nothing nasty jumps out at them, she'd also like to take a moment to have a closer look at the contents of those boxes. Those 'unlikely things' are arousing an uneasy suspicion in her mind...
