Although the bar does not raise up, the block and tackle does pull it enough for the group to both bang the wedge into it, and to weaken it with other tools until finally it snaps. It takes about five minutes for this operation to occur, but except for a few slams of the hammer on the wedge, it doesn't make a lot of noise. The doors open up to a corridor leading straight away. At the end of the corridor is another set of double doors, but these look more elegant than protective. There is also a tunnel off to the side of the corridor with a set of stone stairs in it leading up further into the building. Both the corridor and the stairs are empty, but the group cannot see far up the stairs since the tunnel that they are in spirals up.
