The door is not locked and opens easily.

Beyond the door is a roughly carved, unlit chamber, about 25 feet square. Lining the walls are wooden boxes and crates. In the center of the room is a round table and some chairs. There are some scraps of bread on and around the table and a couple mugs that recently held ale, but the room is otherwise clean and well-kept. There is an empty sconce on the wall, but no torch. The ceiling vault rises to fifteen feet at the highest point. Across from you, in the middle of the opposite wall, is another door.
 


Advancing with the others, Dunathar will examine the door checking for traps or anything that seems like it could be an alert to others behind the door.
 



The party enters the room cautiously.

Filbert and Manzanita see that most of the boxes and crates are nailed shut. They would require a crowbar, or some hacking or bashing, to open. Scanning the boxes, Filbert finds a few that are have already been opened, their tops no longer nailed shut. Quietly opening the boxes, the two discover a box of mining picks, a box of shovels, a box of torches, and a box filled with hemp rope.

Dunathar moves quietly across the room to the other door. Searching the door reveals nothing. Carefully turning the handle, without opening the door, reveals it to be unlocked, like the last.
 



As the burly half-orc approached, Dunathar looked to see that the others had finished examining the mining tools around them.

~These tools would require workers to use them and I've never seen a Hextorite profess to loving manual labor...~

When he feels confident they are ready as well, Dunathar opens the door slowly and looks inside before entering.
