"Alright, let's do this." edgar moves towards the double doors and takes a look, expecting Gallow to follow up and actually check for traps.

Gallo moves up cautiously, keeping an eye out for anything that might want to eat the rest of him. When he reaches the doors he gives them a good once-over before he attempts to push them open.

As you carefully approach the front doors, sandy gravel grinds under your feet. The stones that make up the walls are covered with moss and lichens. The doors are of old gray wood, and fit poorly. Gallo examines the doors closely, and sees nothing out of place. The doors creak slightly as you slowly swing them open. The room inside is quite plain and smallish -- 15' x 12'. There is no furniture, and nothing adorns the walls. The only feature of note is a large, oval pool. The low pool is made of the same stone as the walls and floor of the keep. Doors lead from the other three walls as well.

"Interesting," Gallo whispers as he steps quietly around the pool. "Which way from here, friend?"

"I say we go right from here, scout out the rest of the stuff we could kinda see from outside first."
Will lead the way until we get to another door or other imposing obstacle that Gallo may want to look at first.

This door is made of ancient wood, shrunken and warped with age. Only darkness can be seen through the cracks and gaps. The iron handle is secured by a rusty lock.

"I'll take this," Gallo says as he steps up to the lock. He examines it for a moment before he touches and attempts to open it.
[sblock=ooc]Search, then open. In the interest of saving time, I think it's safe to assume this is the SOP for now, baring any unusual circumstances.[/sblock]

Gallo easily opens the lock, which apparently dates from the earliest days of the settlement. It is quite clear that this door has not been used in ages. As the ancient door slowly swings open, its iron hinges emit a pronounced creaking sound, and a fine shower of rust falls from them to the floor.
The room beyond appears to have been used for storage when the Old Keep was still the "New Keep". The light of your everburning torch reveals a plundered store room. Mouldering piles of fabric and empty boxes line the floor. It appears that the walls were once fitted with lengths of wooden shelving, but the wood has long since crumbled to the ground. Every surface in the room is covered with wood dust, and the air is filled with fine motes of it, swirling in your torchlight.
