Armando seems keen to have a listen at the iron door...

Dieter wants some armoured muscle to go ahead, but meanwhile he figures out he can trap his grapple pretty firmly on the opposite side of the charred and blacked little platform that the breathing "apparatus" had been assembled on.

The secret stair is narrow, but the passage at the bottom is a bit wider; enough to accommodate two abreast, just.

"All ready?" Dieter asks. "I'll go first. Someone bring a light behind me. Olaf or Ulric, bring up the rear. The rest of you arrange yourselves in between."

And with that, he sets off down the rope through the trapdoor.

Wen would help Dorgan however he can once the sturdy Dwarf takes over the engineering. Then Wen would also place a few more candles so everyone has fair chance of seeing in each chamber before heading the stairs to see what fun is going on down in the darkness.

"Perhaps I can determine how this portal operates," Ulric says. He moves up to take the lead with Dieter, lantern in hand. "If not, we know where it is and can come back later."

Rufus will move to the iron door and searching (on the ground in front then the door) around for traps and secert openings and look into how the door opens.
Before anyone opens the iron door he will move back into the rear of the party, since Rufus is not a good fighter, but his good at locks.
