"Is not poop."

It was evident the Komsa warrior was thinking about something, but the look on his face said he was lost for words in their shared tongue. "Waste mill, err. Water wheel? Set apart. No good drinking." He attempted to explain. Though, he had not seen a mill as he described this far south. He shrugged and set upstairs. He did not doubt the idea of waste management was universal to anyone who had discovered fluid dynamics, but he had seen so many effective examples of it. Words had won, but Borz was focused on other more important things.

Borz continues up the stairs eyes wary for traps.

The stairs go up to a shadowy landing. More stairs continue up from there. At the landing is a door, the wood is splintery and the metal fittings are rusted. The door is solidly closed. Maybe it's locked, maybe it's jammed. Do you want to go in, or up? Or back down?

Hanford will check the door for traps and try to pick to see if it is locked.

Borz holds the torch to the rusted hinges to ease in opening the door. Reckoning it'll be easier if the rust was not holding it shut.

The lock picks get stuck in the lock and Hanford has a tough time getting them free. There is a high-pitch metallic "snap" as the tip of a pick stays lodged in the mechanism of the lock.

The torch flame tatters into smoke where it touches the rusted hinges. It will be a bit before the hinges start to glow.

What do you do?

"Let's find another way."

Borz suggests and turns around to head back upstairs.

"Agreed my friend. Let us move on."

"Sssssnake." Borz says as he continues up the stairs. "The answer."
