[March]

"Ah! This door leads back to en-trance!", Makdt nods.
You travel back around and to the northeast hall, and rounding the corner see a door.

[Superdorf]

Open the door, stay behind it for a moment in case of door-triggered traps, and look inside.

[March]

You carefully walk up and open the door into a wide... hall with a sloped cleft cut down the middle, to the north end has caved in and you can see a caved in door on the far wall, the walls are lined with pillars at regular spacing set into the walls.

Hm.
How deep is that cleft down the middle?

At some point we need to go back to the kiln room and examine the segments of wall, that I've highlighted red as they are different than the rest of the wall.

[March]

The cleft is about waist high, sloped down and back up to the other side and a sword wide.

(when you see that spur on the wall, it indicates something is on it between them I've described, in that case it was the scrawled words "Run away!" doing my best with acii)

[King Zultan]

Lets go down the hall we're looking at, and lets look at that caved in door, might be something good near it.


(This might sound dumb but where did you get the stuff to make the ASCII map?)

[March]

You check the caved in door from across the cleft, looks like just rubble.

(I'm just using an online ascii art editor, I'd use other graphics but I'm terrible at art due to my aphantasia and thus the adv models I'm working on for this are not pretty... yet)

[King Zultan]

Lets examine the caved in doors, then head further down the hall.

(I'm sure whatever art you post will look good.)

[March]

You examine the caved in doors; rubble, what is left of the doors hold back earth and stone very likely the room behind them is in an equally bad shape.
You see the far south end of the hall has caved in and another door nearly taken with it.

[King Zultan]

Lets go through that door, while being very careful of potential traps and cave-ins.

[March]

You attempt to open the door, its stuck!
You feel you could force it open but it won't be silent, and it may collapse or become unclosable if you do.

"Hm. This door is jammed shut... should I force it?"

[March]

"Hm. This door is jammed shut... should I force it?" you ask, "If we are to continue we have little choice, but I'd prepare for just about anything to be on the other side of that door... worst case we can flee but you may have to carry me out of here if I have to thunderstep again." Makdt tells you.

[Naturegirl1999]

Force the door open
