"Seems like unless we can fly, we go through the door..." says Octar, after thinking it over a few seconds.

I should mention one more thing. I had asked the party to place themselves on the grid, because when Marcus touched the second set of double doors, the first set slammed shut and locked. Although no one placed themselves, it appears everyone was in the hallway when it happened.
Still watching upwards, Octar sees the silohette or a head extend over the top of the hole, about 70 feet above him. He hears a voice speaking, but can't make it out. The accoustics are very strange and the language may not be one he understands.

~Dhormium looks back, startled by the locked doors. The scream of his voice tells him they just announced themselves as unwelcome guests. Dhormium chants a small prayer and then checks his armor, shield and the axe on his belt~
“We just knocked on the door guys, and me thinks they are not happy to see us. Better get ready, because our exit just locked itself on us!”
Ooc: cast magic vestment on my breastplate
Ps. Sorry for my lack of absence the last few days. Dhormium will be standing around c5

Marcus of the Roma.
The snick of the locking doors, and the whispering voice do nothing to increase Marcus' appreciation of underground places. He shifts to put his back to the corner and readies himself.
"I think you have it Dhormium. We could push on through the small doors," Marcus nods in the direction of the doors beside him, "as they don't seem to be locked. But would that just be jumping out of the frypan into the fire? I think we should wait here a moment. And spread out."
Marcus glances up at the ceiling.
"Hoy. Who is there?"
Marcus has a sneaking suspicion that it has eight legs and beady eyes.

If the party is in danger, it doesn't seem to be coming to them. Tullius, looking up the shaft, sees one head removed, and another appear. Tullius is having a hard time understanding them, perhaps only due the difficult acoustics. He thinks maybe they are asking him how he is doing in Greek.
In the dark passage, no other movement is evident.

Octar feels satisfaction when firing the bow. Although he has ample skill with a blade, as he has had ample chance to demonstrate, his joy is archery. The smooth pull and strong draw of the bow made it a joy to fire. He finds himself wishing to be able to use it again soon, and then realizes that means they will be fighting again. He sighs. It is a pity that archery is not something to enjoy in and of itself.
"Well," he says, "there is still no place to go but onwards, so let's be about it." He is about to shoulder the bow and draw his sword and shield again, but then thinks, No, let me hold it a bit longer.....

~Dhormium speaks, not directing to anybody in specific~
“The door behind us is locked. Unless somebody wished to crawl up this shaft, I say we continue on and find out who is there. If I have to guess, I would guess they would be on the same level as our Sphinx friend. Maybe there is another stairway around here.“
~Dhormium walked up to the other door, walked past Marcus, and patted him on the back. Behind the beard an understanding look appeared on Dhormium’s face, he had noticed the gypsies discomfort~
