The doors are made of old wood, but with fresh cuts at the edges, suggesting that they might have been moved and refit somewhat recently. Decorative motifs aside, they look like perfectly normal doors to Leth.

Leth shrugs, and turns back to the others.

"Nothing concerning about these doors that I can tell. Shall we?"
Jan 23, 2020 4:08 pm
Zangua nods. He seems eager to get this over with, and steps forward to clasp the door handles to open the way.
Jan 23, 2020 5:21 pm
Zangua grasps the handle and pulls. The door catches on an unseen lock.
Jan 23, 2020 5:31 pm
"Locked," says Zangua. "Anybody have the key?"
Jan 23, 2020 5:48 pm
There's no lock or keyhole visible anywhere. Zangua felt like it caught somewhere up at the top of the doors.
Jan 23, 2020 5:58 pm
Zangua adds, before anyone thinks to answer, "I meant that rhetoric-ly." He steps back to take a look upward, trying to find some discernible clue at the top of the doorframe.

Zangua can't see the mechanism from here.
Jan 26, 2020 8:46 pm
Leth regards the door for a moment.

"I wonder if they really think someone would infiltrate the secret entrance, make it past the doorman, figure out the lifting platform, and make it up to this door... and then give up and turn around because it's locked." He turns to the others. "However, that said.... Anyone got any ideas?"
Jan 27, 2020 1:56 am
For completeness, Zangua tries pushing the doors open if pulling did not work.
Jan 27, 2020 5:14 pm
Zangua pushes. The doors stay shut, but with some give that suggests that force alone might be enough to break the lock.
Jan 27, 2020 9:49 pm
Seeing Zangua give the doors an experimental push, Felor joins him. "The lock may not be especially strong if they're expecting the doorman to keep people out. We could attempt to simply break it?"
Jan 27, 2020 10:33 pm
Zangua nods. "Plus, I'm sure we no longer need to sneak around if they're expecting us."
Jan 27, 2020 11:15 pm
Zangua has kicked open heavier doors than this.
Jan 27, 2020 11:53 pm
Zangua takes a few steps backward to gives himself some running room. "Everyone ready?"
Jan 28, 2020 5:21 pm
The doors await their kickening.
Jan 28, 2020 5:27 pm
Zangua surges forward, attempting to bash the door in!

Felor heaves his shoulder into the door in time with Zangua's effort.

Despite the unremarkable effort, you hear a snap as you shove yourselves into the doors. Recoiling from the impact, the doors swing outward gently.
