(Should be over now, I hope :) Thanks AGG!)

Skezzketh quickly follows the others, whispering to Kelan after he finishes listening "Do you they heard the fight?"
 

Mohgyrm hears naught, as did Kelan. Slowly, after the others have moved forward, the young Hurdrinn Dwarf opens the door, taking a moment to pull out a cannister of oil and squirt down the massive hinges. A slim opening shows him (and Mohgyrm above in the air) that the chamber beyond is dimly lit by flutterring torches, while no Orcs or other Enemies can be seen ...
 

Storí hesitates for a moment, standing on the threshold of the portal. Now this is some real power here, lad. He thinks, savouring the moment. May Mystra reveal its secrets to me some day.

He steps forward into the portal, spluttering in surprise as he emerges the other side. Seeing that Kelan is more than capable of finishing the orc rabble in the room, he turns back to examine the portal from the other side, marveling at the construction.

"It'll have been worth the trip just to have seen these in action." He smiles, reaching into his portable hole to pull forth pen and paper. He quickly traces several of the more interesting runes, before doing a rough sketch of the portal as a whole.

Noting that his companions are ready to move on, Storí drops his drawing tools back into the hole, picking up and folding the magical cloth. Looking through into the next chamber, he asks the Prince.

"What path now, my liege? The labyrinthine nature of these passages presents a multitude of opportunities for an ambush. Should I render one of our scouts invisible, so we may perhaps take any would-be ambushers unawares?"

"I was thinking that it might prove useful to take a peak first." Mohgrym says as he concentrates momentarily a vaguely visible eye emerges from his forehead as he manifests clauraudience. Making sure that it is as difficult to see as he can he sends it through the portal to have a look around.
 

OoC:Clairvoyance, you mean? :D

Mohgrym manifests his Psion, getting a look into the next nearest room.
The chamber is lit but a few sputtering torches, these spaced evenly about the room, as the Dwarves that built the place spaced them for optimal usage. Mohgrym is outrages at the vandalism that he sees, the walls were once covered with murals of Dwarfs going about their everyday tasks, as well as scenes of the Portal being used by dwarfs and their allies, Elves,Gnomes and Humans. There are no sign of any orcs or other Enemies in this chamber, though there are many boxes and crates within, several open, showing foodstuffs,weapons and other things that the raiders must have taken from elsewhere.
 



Alembregh steps through the portal, closely followed by his companion Duranom. Taking a short view at the room, he notes the orcs corpses and his friends surrounding a door. He slowly moves towards them, trying not to make a sound as he doesn't know what his friends are looking at.
