Elven Paladin - Main tunnel:
Since there are two doors up ahead, and a trapdoor, I'm guessing the thief and rangers will try to look for traps.

The tunnel doesn't end at the trapdoor, right? I will wait to see what MaxFulvus does, and wait with my sword and shield ready, facing the back of the tunnel (ie. the main chamber), covering our rear, while someone checks the front. Did Thras make it in time, so he can join me, Darrim and Roark?

Edit: Dwarven party (and a human paladin), do you wish to join forces and explore the doors together after checking them for any secrets or traps?

01kipper: 22 - 01kipper - Kip - Halfling Brigand - southern side tunnel

I think we should (as a party) move forward and investigate the three doors.

After Aslain has finished checking for traps, assuming he finds none we can listen simultaneously at all three doors (Kip will volunteer to listen at the one furthest north; perhaps Og'rialt can take the middle/secret door and Aslain the southern door, to match our marching order?). If we don't hear anything of immediate threat, we should open the secret door (the middle door), Beldarion is probably the one to take the lead for that job?
I, Og'rialt, concur, and take the suggested action as long as no one of our party presents arguments to the contrary.

A good course of action. Besides, this is your field of expertise. Let's see what's behind that secret door (and some of the others, if you dare to divide the group for the task)

I'm strongly against splitting up the group at this point. If there's a chamber behind the central door, we can try one of the other doors as well and if necessary split to enter them all, but if there's a corridor, let's keep moving away from the central chamber as a group and focus on finding a way out of this place. (And then taking that hypothetical corridor behind the secret door seems like a more hopeful way to an exit then the corridor we're in now. It'd remove us from the immediate field of view of any pursuit as well.)
"I agree. Let me see if there are any traps on any of the doors and I find any, I'll disable them. After that, we can listen and THEN open all three doors at the same time if we determine they are safe. In case we need to choose, I'll say let's go through the hidden one".
Let's open one door at a time; if there's any nasty surprises behind them that we didn't detect by listening, I'd rather face them one at a time rather than all at once.
For the main tunnel group, I'd advise stand clear of the doors when opening them though - particularly the ones adjacent to the trapdoor.

For now I'll stand rear guard.

Thinking this over, I think this proposal is a bit too cautious. I'd propose 2 at a time, in some fashion.

Time may be a bigger threat than the unknown. If we open 2, I will stand point on one. If we're opening just one, I'll stick with rear guard.
Wait - I'm confused by this description:

Doc0075: Southern tunnel:

Wide and high the tunnel is poorly lit. What is currently visible is a trapdoor 20 feet down, in the middle of the tunnel.
So, is there a pit, with a trapdoor at the bottom then? Or is it more like a swale allowing one to walk up/down?

And if it's a pit, is there a ladder? Are there channels/depressions leading from the doors to the trapdoor?

Bit paranoid, but I'm struck by the notion that - worst-case - the trapdoor could be a drain and the other 4 doors all have water behind them.
I'm understanding '20 feet down' as '20 feet ahead', like 'Go down that road for half a kilometre' and not literally on a lower plane. But doc can correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I had mentioned these in the last thread, as well as messaging doc, but there has been no acknowledgement of them happening (although I suppose they're not really important to progress yet, so perhaps acknowledgment was implied), so I'll repeat it again here:
I had cast a globe of protection around me and my companions according to our formation

I had summoned a holy guardian


If both cannot be done due to some definition of turns, I do the first, then the second.
69 - Rudy - Human Ranger moves to the last door (the northern one I believe it is) and opens the door.

Also I asked this before but I did not get an answer. As a human ranger do I have any items or skills that I can use?

What are we waiting for ? Christmas ?
I'm starting to detect traps or secrets on each of the 4 doors and the trapdoor in the main southern tunnel. I would like to be under Babargh's Globe of Protection and his Holy Guardian close to me while the others guard the surroundings or simply waiting for the thing escaped from the central chamber decides to lunch among us !

alexandros050: 69 - Rudy - Human Ranger moves to the last door (the left one I believe it is) and opens the door.
So, that means that, by the time we arrive, the southernmost door will be open and/or a rival looter will be hanging around.
Aslain (or anyone), call Beldarion if you need some backup.

Actually I though the last door from the right side is the northern one. I will edit my post so that I don't confuse other people.

Let me clarify - gogtrial is in the side tunnel, we (me, some others and you and the dwarven party with svartalf, fulvus etc.) are in the main tunnel.

The side tunnel has three doors, one revealed by a magic spells.

The main tunnel has four doors, and no detect secrets have been cast here yet. There a trapdoor 20 feet ahead of us. If you imagine a corridor, there are two doors on ech side of the wall, in front of them is a trapdoor in the ground, and after the trapdoor are two more doors on each side, according to the description.

W___W
D___D
W_T_W
D___D
W___W
W___W
W_P_W

Something like this, the D is Door, W is Wall, and T is trapdoor. P is Party.
