Rykken will examine the secret door and the area around it to see if there is any indication of traffic coming out of the door and then cast Detect Magic on it to see if there is any magic at work.

Your physical examination of the door (I'm assuming look and touch) reveal nothing to your human hands. As you finish your casting your eyes see much magic, most of it your friends. Focusing on the door you detect nothing although there is something tickling your magically aware senses just inside the 60' range of your spell. Possibly something farther behind the door. For all intents and purposes the door is mechanical in design.

Oypeen, frustrated that he can not figure out how to open the door, stops and just listens at it. After av few minutes he will look around the space looking for things that might serve to activate the door and make it open.

In which wall is the door located, north or west?

The door is on the north wall. If you sit facing it you will be leaning (with your left shoulder) against the west wall slightly north of the arched opening. {upper left corner}

(To Oypeen- Your elven hands, more supple and sensitive to slight variations, find nothing to indicate a way to open the door from this side. You also hear nothing from the other side of the door.)

There is no sign of traffic (foot prints, scrape marks) coming into the area you are in from the hidden door way.

"Looks like there is a secret door here. Can't find a way through from this side, but perhaps it will serve us on the return journey if we find ourselves on that side of teh wall. Until then we might want to keep in mind that this is a good way for something to surprise us from the rear. As it stands now, that arch appears to be the only way onward."

Oypeen will look at the door one last time then give it a solid shove away from him to see if it will move under force.

No discernible movement at all.

"How shall we handle our movement? We are undermanned here without our specialist to range ahead looking for nasty bits. I don't mind moving ahead being that I am a bit more fleet of foot of you other two chaps, but I can't take many blows if it comes to that."

((OOC: In other words, I don't mind moving ahead and looking around that corner beyond the arch if that is how we want to do it. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes. I just spent my time checking out the secret door and if I were to then immediately start asking about the southern corridor I would feel like I was hogging all the actions.))
