Ash knew she still need to go back to the provision room and gather provisions and get a skin of that stinky ale for herself before they ventured far, but righ now wasn't the time. She just had to see what happened when the panel was pushed.
Almost bouncing with excitement and anticipation, she steps further back to where she is behind Rasidar being sure to leave him plenty of room if he needed to move back in a hurry. Staying very alert and ready to tumble out of the way at a moments notice Ash waits as Rasdir moves close and pushes the button.

Mao
No dust, dirt or other signs of decay. No insects or other signs of life. And no other doors.
The wineskins are roughly a foot in diameter - so big enough to hold enough drink for a while.
Ash
Zumir shakes his head. He looks quite curious himself.

"ARGG!!" Homm's voice ricochets around the room, holding back Rasidar with both hands.
he coughes, points at his throat with one hand & points at a wineskin with the other.
he coughes some more & manages to say, "dry ... choked ...".

Ash sees Homm coughing, sputtering, and pointing to his throat as if he is choking. Ash runs up to him and says "Stop it Little Sneak. You're just pretending so you can catch Mr. Knight off guard and run push the button yourself."
She then whacks him hard on the back and says "OK, if you are really choking that should help. Now get back here out of the way so Mr. Knight can push the button."

Loriana hesitates a moment, then speaks up, "Shouldn't we wait? For the others? For checking the other door first? What if the other door has more provisions, like weapons and clothing? Wouldn't we be better prepared for whatever is on the other side of this secret door?" she backs up to the doorway, ready to run down the hallway to get the others if there is trouble.

After getting his fill of eating, he sees how Mao made a larger satchel out of one of the pieces of blanket. Thinking it's a good idea, he returns to the original sleeping room in search of blanket pieces.
(E - what does Stelrein see upon entering the sleeping room?)

Stelrein
A new person appears to have awoken...
Ciara
A big guy wearing a mattress strapped around himself has just walked into the room...

Stelrein blinks, seeing the new woman awake. He says slowly, "You're awake. I trust you have no knowledge of your past. My name is Stelrein." for the first time, he's consciously aware of what he is wearing, "There are others that have awaken with me, just like yourself. As you can see, we have only what is around to work with," gesturing to the beds.
Stelrein thinks to himself - hopefully this will explain why I'm wearing and weilding my bed.

Now get back here out of the way so Mr. Knight can push the button." a big piece of pork strip dislodges from Homm's throat & is sent flying towards the button & lands on Rasidar's hand. he coughes some more & moves to the back of the group.

Rasidar politely wipes his hand off a nearby wall. He then turns to Loriana.
"Before we press this button, `twould be best for the party to regroup," Rasidar says. "If you would, go you and retrieve Stelrein. We shall need to compare notes and consider our next move."
Rasidar then looks to Homm.
"Homm, you may also go with her if you wish. I'd prefer no one go unaccompanied, and it may be Stelrein may require your services."

Homm, Ash, Rasidar & Loriana
There is a strange rippling along the wall, almost as if the wall had suddenly come to life...

Rasidar examines the wall carefully. He then looks to Zumir.
"Know you what this strange rippling is?" he asks. "`Twas not there a moment ago."

Before Loriana can leave, she sees the wall rippling. If she were a more excitable person, she probably would have screamed. Instead, she freezes in place near the door.

Homm's coughing comes to a stop when he saw the ripples across the walls. he tries touching the wall to see if it's solid or not.
"sir, Zumir sir," Homm turns his head around to address the giant, "is this new? does this mean .....," Homms eyes turns wide, "the mage is coming? is he?!" heart beats faster.

(Wearing a mattress??? What the? ;D) Her head was still fuzzy from her deep sleep, but it snapped to attention as she saw a large figure in the corner of her eye walk into the room. The man seemed to have some sort of mattress attached to him, he wasnt walking very steady. "Who, Who are you?" She asked in a shaky voice. The whole situation was frightening

With all the traffic back and forth Cedric is wondering whether it makes sense to stand there. The still unopened door in his back attracts him.
Stelrein comes by and gives him a share of the provisions they found, which he accepts with gratitude. While Stelrein mentions that there's plenty, he takes a sip of the ale and stores the supplies away in his pouch and hangs the skin at his provisional belt. In the meantime Stelrein leaves.
Suddenly a faint yell is to be heard from the awakening room. As he proceeds to alert the others, Stelrein passes him and proceeds in that direction.
"Another one awakening," Cedric assumes, "Nothing Stelrein couldn't handle - there should not be any danger from there."
While the eagerness to gather subsistence is understandable, the presence of the Djinn in the other room, though obviously no immediate danger, makes him more eager to find out what's in the 3rd room. He goes over to the storage room to find Mao and seek her assistance to investigate it.

As she gets out of the storage room, Mao comes across Cedric who seems decided to learn more about what's behind the door left to investigate and asks for her assistance. Having her hands full, she goes at the intersection and drops the wineskins and rations she carried in her arms in sight, at the disposition of everyone. She then goes back to the storage room to get the long strip of wood she used to "wipe" the floor in search for traps with and takes one for Cedric as well.
"At the point we are, if there's someone/thing in there, he'll be long aware of our presence", she says while handing the long wooden piece to Cedric. "For traps. Ok, here we go..." As she says that, she hears a weird growl noise coming from the djinn's room followed by violent coughing. She puts a hand on Cedric's arm to draw his attention to it and looks at him in interrogation.

When Ash realizes Homm really was choking, she looks rather alarmed. As he keeps sputtering and coughing, she puts her arm around his shoulders, and says "I'm sorry, Little Sneak. I thought you were just pretending so you could push the button. Are you OK? Is there anything I can do to help? You want me to go get you something to drink? she asks still very concerned.
********************
Ash looks up as the wall starts to move. "Whoa," she exclaims. "Look, look at the wall. It's moving. Mr. Knight, the wall is moving." She then begins to move slowly towards the wall. "Is it alive? she asks.
As she nears it, she reaches her hand out to feel it. "I wonder what would happen if I ........."
As she touches the wall she notices that Homm is doing the same thing. "What do you think?" she asks him softly moving her hand over the rippling wall. "I wonder....." she says as she pushes against the wall with her hand to see if it will go through.
*E - does anything happen when Ash and Homm touch the wall? Can Ash push her hand through it?

Homm & Ash
The wall still feels like stone, but it's moving like ripples on a pond. You can't push your hands into it, though.
Rasidar, Loriana, Homm & Ash
The ripples seem to gather around the stain that Rasidar left on the wall when he wiped his hand. For a moment there is stillness, then the ripples flurry over the stain in a sudden rush, and it is gone; the wall as pristine as it was before Rasidar touched it. The ripples smooth out to nothingness, and it is as if nothing had changed.
"I haven't seen that before," Zumir remarks in obviour surprise.
