"Mao, we should go back and tell Homm and Yairn what we have found, don't you think?" whispers Ash. "Before we do, I want to examine this just a little more though."
Ash lays down with her head on the floor and looks towards the light wondering if she could see anything through the crack. She then stands up and carefully places her hand on this thing that could possibly be a door and runs her hand over it to see if she could feel anything other than the slick surface, a panel, a knob, anything that might cause it to open. She also runs her hand beside it on each side again check for a way that it might be opened all the time being careful not to trip or turn anything that might cause the door to open. She sure didn't want to do that.
*E - can Ash see anything from where the light is coming, does she find anything on the seem to be door or wall close around or is she able to determing anything else about it*

As she sees Ash examining the door and trying to see by the crack at the bottom, Mao whispers to Ash: "Good idea; you better check for traps though. Can you hear or smell anything from the other side? If you want, I'll light the door a little with a party hidden globe so you can examine it better."
(Elliot - is the light like one from outdoors, fire, or the same kind of light than our globes imitate, some other color?)

Ash
The gap is too narrow for you to see through. It's definitely a door, though, complete with handle - and probaby made of wood, judging from the feel.
Mao
The light is constant, and could be caused by stronger versions of your globes or a concentration of several of them in one place. You're pretty sure it isn't sun- or moonlight.

YairnAfter only a few steps straight ahead, it's blacker than midnight. Walking carefully as you are, you have no problems going forward, though. After what might be anywhere from 15 feet on, you feel a solid surface in front of you. There are no openings to your left. Homm, who is also with Yairn checks the right side of the middle passageway as Yairn check the left. since there is a solid surface in front of them, it seems that they must have reached a dead end. still, one must make sure, Homm feels. he reaches towards Yairn, & leans his head close to Yairn's, & whispers to his ear, "i am going to light up this spot with the globe if you have no objection." he waits for Yairn's response. in the meanwhile, Homm checks for anything out of place by feeling with his hands. he wonders what Ash & Mao have discovered in the other passageway. (EK - i'm a bit confused here. Ash & Mao are checking out the left or the right intersection?)

"Oh, I can't see anything under this dumb door," thinks Ash to herself. "Why couldn't they have left a big enough crack that I could see something."
Then getting up she whispers to Mao disappointedly "I couldn't see a thing except that dumb light."
Then as she checks out the door, she whispers "It is definitely a door and it feels like it is made of wood. And here is a handle," she says as her hand touches the handle of the door. "As far as I can tell, it is not trapped, so I think it will be safe for someone to see if it can be opened. I'm not going to try that now though. Let's get back and tell Homm and Yairn what we have found unless you can think of something else we should do first," she whispers turning back to Mao.

Jang
We're all a bit confused right now ;D Fille & Shan meant to go right, but wrote 'left' a couple too many times, so I ended up sending them left by mistake. Yaim is straight ahead. No-one has yet gone right.
Assuming Fille & Shan both agree that they don't mind left instead of the right they intended, that is. If they do, I'll get back to you ;D

"Just a few last check ups before," Mao whispers to Ash, joining her at the door. She makes a sign to Ash so she wouldn't move or speak for a moment and puts her ear against the door and towards the crack to listen to any noise possibly coming from the room on the other side. While near the crack, she feels the slight change of temperature in the next room. She tries to percieve if there would be any particular smell coming from there too. (E?) Once she learned all she could, she tells Ash of her findings and agrees that they go back (from the left corridor ) to see where Homm and Yairn are at.

Mao
You hear something that sounds like it might be a deep sigh, and then silence...
There are no new smells other than that of polished wood.

"Great thinking," whispers Ash with a smile as Mao tells her what she heard. "I'm glad you thought to do that. It gives us even more information to pass on to the others."

(Elliot - could Mao tell if it was a noise made by a living thing or a machine/device? And what does the cave/passageway/place smell, btw?)

Mao
It sounded living, but it's hard to be sure.
The corridor smells of nothing, really. No dust or must, no smells of cleaning fluids... The smell combination makes no sense for any place that is either used or NOT used.

While Cedric is waiting with Rasidar and Stelrein, he unconsciously kneels and takes the stance of one meditating. Since he cannot see anything beyond anyway, he closes his eyes and concentrates on hearing.
As the sounds of the scouting party fade, his mind wanders in the void of his memories.

"Go ahead" Yairn whispered as he inspected the surface.
He moved his hands across the surface trying to find out what it was made of.

Yairn
You have definitely reached the end of the corridor. Feeling over the surface, you discover a smooth stone surround framing what is probably a wooden door, complete with handle.

Homm exposes the globe to illuminate the spot where he & Yairn are. he can see a door with a handle.
Homm leans close to the handle & tries to detect if there is any hint of oil or anything that might indicate if the door has been used recently.
he also checks the frame of the door to see if there is any air draft around it, by wetting his fingers & putting them there, by placing his ears close to the borders.
Homm whispers to Yairn, "let us find out if we can hear anything", then he proceeds to put his ears to the door. . . . after checking the door out, he indicates to Yairn to go back to the main group to report of their findings. Homm wonders if Ash & Mao discover anything of use.

Everyone
The far end of the corridor just lit up, to reveal Homm & Yairn standing by a wooden door. Homm has a Light Globe in his hand. In the ceiling above the door there is another Light Globe, but it is absolutely dead, and sheds no illumination whatsoever.
The door is roughly twenty feet from the intersection.
Homm
There is no air draft, and no sign of recent use - though there is no sign of anything that would indicate DISuse either. The door is solid wood, and almost identical to the door that led out of the room you first woke up in. You can hear no sounds from beyond the door.

Mao nods to Ash, smiling, and signals her to come and head back towards the intersection. She advances carefully, taking care to be as silent as she can to avoid revealing their presence to whatever creature may be behind that door...
As she reaches the intersection, her eyes are drawn towards the corridor that Yairn and Homm went to investigate, and she sees Homm lighting the door with his globe, Yairn seeming to stand near him.

Homm feels that there is someone looking at him & he turns to the direction opposite of the door he & Yairn are investigating.
(EK - is it possible for Homm, from where he is, to be able to detect Ash's &/or Mao's presence at the intersection?)
Homm pats Yairns shoulder, giving him gesture that they should re-group. as he hides back the globe, so Homm moves towards the intersection. after a step or two, Homm stops.
hey, Homm in his mind, now is the best time to test the rolling of the globe with safety. he smiles in the darkness, crouches down, takes the globe out of the cloth covering & rolls it towards the intersection, at the middle of the pathway.

Homm
You can just about make out shadowy figures if you look hard enough.
Ash & Mao
Homm just rolled his Light Globe at you...

Ash smiles and says "You got it. Let's go."
She follows Mao quietly back to the intersection keeping a close check on the closed door to make sure it stayed closed. Even though she felt like if someone or some thing opened the door they would know it, she wasn't going to take any chances.
As they reach the intersection, Ash notices a faint light coming from the hallway on her left. She turns and sees Homm with the uncovered globe in his hands and she thinks that the figure with him has to be Yairn or at least she hopes it is.
"Mao, what in the world is that glowing light rolling toward us," exclaims Ash in a louder whisper than she intended. "Oh great, I bet Little Sneak decided to roll his globe this way," she says more to herself than to Mao. "He had to have. That thing is coming right at us."
"Gonna ring someone's neck," she mutters to herself with a mischievous grin.
*E - will the globe Homm roll reach Ash and Mao if they stay put in the intersection*
