Seeing the dust disturbed along the west wall, Pisgah attempts to spot what may have drawn Jaya and Nikk's attention. With a [Tooltip Not Found] 18, Pigsah spots the secret door and steps up to listen at the door, [Tooltip Not Found] 19.
Nodding to Nikk to confirm the noises, he motions to the others that there are two voices on the other side of the door. He then whispers, "There are two voices talking about a surprise when we rush in the other door. Who can easily open this door while Jaya and I get ready to rush in from behind and attack?"
It dawns on Nikkitch that, judging by the amount of dust in this room and the nature of the door itself, these would-be marauders may not know about this hidden passage.
In Jaya's voice, he looks to the Autognome. "How strong. Is. Defender?"
Using thieve's tools to open the door: Rolled 24 on character sheet.
The secret door does not have any features that would allow lockpicking. It is flush with the wall and there are no locks or mechanisms to be seen. You suspect that you could probably open it with just a push.
After examining the door, Rico reports, "I think the door will open with just a push, but I cannot confirm that without opening the door. If I am not correct, we will need to break the door down while they are still surprised by Steel."

Using Pisgah's voice, "Jaya goes, along. With Defender. And Canti. Edwina stays. Behind. At. Door. Fire from. Doorway. Distraction. Pisgah stays. Rico. Too."
He holds up one finger. "I stay. Too. Sneak in. Find. Leader. Keep him. Alive."
Rico is about to object to splitting her and Steel, but upon thinking about it, that was actually a good way to divide the team so as to protect the squishy members. "Is every one else good with that plan?"
“Sounds like a plan to me! Steel will take the torch with us so I don’t walk into a wall, you may need your own source here.” Says Jaya.
“Give us a minute to get to the door, and we’ll barge in, making a racket! That will be your clue!” If for some reason this door does not open into the same room that Steel and I will be in, please come find us quickly!” he muses.
If no other comments, Jaya will ask Steel to lead him to this other door, and off they go.
Rico will tell Steel, "Go with Jaya and Canti, do what they say to do. Attack anyone they tell you to attack. Canti, if you want to give Steel instructions without the targets knowing what you are telling him to do, use Gnomish."
Before they leave, Rico will take out one of her torches and light it.
OOC: Can she attach it to top of her shied to keep both hands free?
OOC: Can she attach it to top of her shied to keep both hands free?
OOC: Based on Ricos proficiencies and magical tinkering feature, no problem. I'd say it has a chance to get knocked off if you get hit or get wet since its still an open light source made of mostly wood.
Nikk continues once the others are gone, this time in the whispered voice of one of the marauders:
"Now for. Rest. Of plan. Pisgah, opens. The. Door slightly. I. Sneak in. Identify leader. Come back. Then. As fighting. Starts. We. Grab leader. Throw in here. Tie up."
Nikkitch pulls rope from one of his pouches, cutting it in half.
OOC: Agreed, it would not be the best, which is why she usually has Steel carry them. But it works in this case. It might end up on the floor, but if she was carrying it hand, it would definitely end up on the floor!
Pisgah positions himself at the secret door ready to push it open. He will push it slightly, enough that Nikk can sneak through and will be prepared to rush the room and attack anything on the other side once he hears noise from the other room or sees Nikk run into trouble. Pisgah will attack with shield and longsword. <OOC: Not sure what to roll for pushing open the secret door but based on comment above, assume it will just open> If there are more than three defenders in the room, Pisgah will use his Bonus Action to rage.

[Even though it's a different door from the one they were at?]
Absolutely

In Jaya's voice, he looks to the Autognome. "How strong. Is. Defender?"
Rico answers, "I might be able to open the door. As for Steel, he is only slightly stronger than I am."
Using thieve's tools to open the door: Rolled 24 on character sheet.
"Not point. Could it. Open. The other. Door?"
Rico answered, "Yes, as long as the door was not locked."
Pisgah says "Excellent idea, Nikkitch! Are you thinking to have Steel open the other door while Rico opens this one and we attack them from behind?"

Stealth roll to quietly open the door: 16
Attack roll: 10
Sorry, Pisgah's second attack roll was a 21, if the opportunity to attack comes up.
