It takes some time, but Aureus eventually finds the outline of a secret door in the rock. Pushing on the door does little. She quickly determines it will have to be broken down to get inside, as there is no mechanism to open the door from her side of the wall.Aureus searches to try and locate any hidden doors or hatches nearby.
Quinn shoots Phar a glance. "Where's you furry friend?" least he wants is someone delaying the party.
Quinn and Phar note that Aureus seems to have found something -- a hidden door perhaps. The hutaakan puts her shoulder into the door to try to push it open. No luck. It's either stuck or barred from the other side."The Hutaakan is tenacious. It is not her way to shy from a fight." He whistles hoping to draw her on.
No more bolts fire out at the group as Aureus finally makes her way up the stairs.Seeing the others had moved on and deciding that she cannot break down the secret door alone, Aureus slinks forward to join the group.
Quin pushes the door simply suspecting the rooks and harpies are too stupid to laid traps.
The door opens outward without any difficulty. It fact, it looks like it could come off its hinges without too much effort. Beyond is a 1-1/2 foot space with another wooden door. This one is closed tight. It looks like it is locked and the mechanism looks very corroded.Motioning for Quin to be careful, Cearth follows him closely. Having his bow and arrow at the ready, the half-orc makes sure he can shoot as soon as enemies come their way.
