Wen would place a candle, in the same manner as he did before, at the intersection that leads to unexplored area and the library area. Then again a good 60-70 feet up the explored corridor.

"Yup," Dieter mutters, glancing over his shoulder to make sure the rest of the party are keeping watch. He himself looks up and all around the door before advancing.

Dieter gives the door way a good looking over from five paces.

It's a plain wooden door set into the stout, plastered wall by about a foot. It looks old, and well used. There is a handle on the right-hand side of the door... it looks as though it opens into the room beyond. There is nothing about that suggests any mischief.

"Did you find the wine cellar?" calls Gustave from the back of the queue, "don't start without me eh?".

Dieter raises his shield and holds his sword vertically against it, while pressing up against the non-handled side of the door. He nods to Torben.

"Open it," he say softly, "then stand back."

Once the door is open, he'll push it open with the left edge of his shield, so he can enter the room and still defend himself.

Torben obliges, and finds that the door handle turns easily. The door swings inward without any complaint, and Dieter muscles into the arch in his defensive position...


...it is quite dark within (those with torches are yet further back in the passage), but Dieter notes it is cool, silent, and that there is the unmistakable scent of a field hospice on the air...

Seeing nothing leap out to attack Dieter and Torben, Ulric moves up behind them to shine his lantern into the space beyond the door.

"What smells?" he asks.
