On the Road to Silver Port City, [Route 300]

[Helios]

Again, there were no secret buttons or switches on the door.

However, you realized that you hadn't tried the doorknob yet.

[Ink]

It was one of those "d'oh" moments when Stella noticed the obvious doorknob. However, it was a bit ... too obvious. Tentatively, Stella tried turning the doorknob, expecting either a trapdoor to open beneath her, something to fall on her, or absolutely nothing to happen.

[Helios]

The door was unlocked and acted like a normal door. It opened up without activating any sort of trap.

Would you go through the open door? Would you wait for Emory?

[Ink]

Stella decided to wait for Emory. However, being keen to leave the place as soon as possible and not being sure whether Emory would return on his own, she decided to call him.

"Emory!" she called out in her loudest voice (which frankly isn't extremely loud). "I found a door that might lead us out of here!"

And then she waited.

[Helena]

Emory stopped his examinations of the area when he heard a faint cry. He moved closer toward the direction he believed he had heard the sound come from; he caught a snatch of words for his trouble.

He quickly decided that going toward the sound would probably be his best bet of something happening.

With that decision made, he walked in the direction until he found Stella.

"Is that - a door?" he said.

[Ink]

"Apparently so," Stella replied. "Let's go through it. But first let's make sure it's safe..."

First poking her head in, Stella peered through the door, looking around for any signs of traps, danger, etc.

[Helios]

You saw a long hallway, with many different construction tools laying about. There was a construction grade lamp glowing indifferently in the ceiling, giving more light than the candle in the room you were in. There were many wires, spread out all along the wall and ceiling in an intricite network.

There wasn't any physical sign of danger, nor any traps that you could see from where you were at.
