Fah'lin's already at the north door with Arya. He'll help the others along and take a peek beyond the door.
Beyond the door is a 50' long corridor that turns west at the end. The walls of this corridor are wet and slimy. The stucco covering has become saturated with water and is decomposing and sloughing off in spots on the eastern wall, exposing the seams of one large stone block that is filling a doorway, completely blocking it. When you check around the corner you find stairs going up but they are completely blocked by the collapsed ceiling.
"Well sneaky girl. No one's getting through here. Want to scout out another route?" Fah'lin will open the door west with his Mage Hand from a safe distance.
You seem to have great confidence in your new gauntlets if you think you can move that 3 ton block of stone by yourself. It’s not a roll it’s a total strength score.
Here’s an amusing thought, with Grond gone if Fah’lin didn’t have the gauntlets you wouldn’t be able to move the stone as all your fighting people are dex based. Anyway with a lot of straining you finally push it far enough back to pass by it.
You find beyond the plug is a small foyer holding three sealed urns on the north and south sides. To the eastare double doors of bronze with glyphs worked into their faces.
Fah'lin sends his mage hand to lift the urn furthest away. Then he approaches to inspect it. (Perception: 14)
(One reason I put minimal strength on Fah'lin is because of strength enhancing items. If I took 16 strength then wore these gauntlets I'd have put a major investment into the stat and not gained any benefit from that investment. Particularly if I got my strength up to 20, or 22 with the manual, and then find and don a belt of giant strength... I'm a bit odd to have considered this when I have never attained any such item. But I did play a max level one shot, where we were able to select a limited set of magic items, and I'd considered at the time, I could make a strength character and not invest in strength, only taking the belt. I ended up playing an archer there though.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Aeliarin's Detect Magic is still running he can tell that the urns and glyphs are not magical but there is something along the top edge of the double doors. Arya comes over and checks the door with a professional eye (also advantage because of Aeliarin's warning) 16
Arya "If the door is forced open rather than unlocked it will break the glass and whatever that stuff inside is will be released. Everyone move back and I'll try and open the lock." She waits a moment while you move back then gets out her tools. 11

The urns are too heavy for mage hand. You look closer and see that each urn has a seal of beeswax.

The rest of the party apparently waiting in quiet anticipation, Fah'lin attempts to move the large stone block pushing it back into the wall.

Aeliarin is still detecting magic, unless 10 minutes is up yet.
"Who wants to open the ancient hidden passage with me?"

“Hmm” Igneous will inspect the urns and anything around them for something suspicious 15

Relatable it’s why I kinda shy away from strength characters but they can be fun from time to time
