"Snoring?" Ulric says a bit surprised. "Did the door seem like it had a lock? Could we sneak in and take who or whatever is there by surprise?"

Now that you have a good look, the door does appear to be an unusually strong sort. It is iron bound, and has a 6in square steel plate around the lock hole.

Ulric hears a twittering by his feet, and looks down to see a rat sitting on its haunches looking up at him. There is a tarnished and bent silver coin in front of it. As soon as he sees it, the rat scurries off into the dark.

The handle won't turn. The door is indeed locked.

"It's locked. It's locked." Desmond and Mondes reply almost simultaneously. But that doesn't stop Mondes from rattling the handle.

"Knock, kick it in, or leave it alone?" asks Olaf from in the back.

Dorgan turns from his vigil and gives the door a good once-over.

"If I had a gold piece, I'd bet ya even Gustave can't kick that one down. Unless one a' ya has a way ta enchant that door open, I think we oughta keep movin'."

And with that, the dwarf turns back to his rear guard watch behind the party.

Ulric smiles at the rat then bends down and picks up the coin to inspect it.

"Good fellow," he says, though the rat has already fled.

Hearing the conversation of the others Ulric offers,

"I have an enchantment that may freeze the lock, making it brittle enough to break."

"But there are other open passages to explore if this way is barred."
