Message: <blockquote data-quote="Branding Opportunity" data-source="post: 2591252" data-attributes="member: 31812">Listening to the dwarf, the group decides to take the alternate corridor which heads parallel to the one you had just been traveling in.  You continue down it for another 20 or so feet before it makes a slight turn to the left, just like the other one.After the turn the corridor continues for another 15 feet before ending in a similar iron-bound door to the one that let you exit the sewer.George quickly motions everyone back and takes a few minutes to see what this dungeon has presented you.  He crouches down and pulls out a few tools wrapped in a buckskin satchel which he uses to explore the lock and the rest of the portal (OOC: "Taking 20" on Search check).  Finding the door untrapped and locked, he focues on the lock, concentration obvious in his furrowed brow (OOC: "Taking 20" on Open Locks).  Once he is sure that the door is unlocked he carefully puts away his tools and pulls out a small metal dropper filled with mineral oil, with a needle-thin nose.  He inserts this nose in between the door and the door frame and gives the dropper a quick squeeze, once at chest and once at knee height.  You know he does this to coat the recessed hinges with the oil so as to decrease the chance of them squeeking.  Having done so, he recorks the dropper and stows it with the rest of his gear.  George then steps back and motions one of you silently to lead the way.(OOC: I apologize for NPCing George to this extent, but I got inspired <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  )</blockquote>
