Garu nods in appreciation to Aisha and aligns her feet to stand about 10 feet behind Aisha while she tries to open the door. While standing there, she will study the murals to see if there is a discernable reason for the art.

Aisha is unable to quietly open the brass doors as they prove either locked or too stuck to be opened gently, though there is enough space along the ledge for her to put weight behind the attempt.

Aisha pushes off the doors so she doesn't slip and fall as she digs out of her backpack her thieves tools, though she hasn't had a reason to use them yet, .. it was worth a try. Putting the tools in her jaw, she leans forward again, making sure her feet are firmly planted as she does, and asks Garu to hold her at the waist, steady so she can use both her hands. Waiting until Garu does, or chooses not to before making an attempt with the tools regardless, if only to see if they're locked before risking 'smashing' the door.
The doors unlock for Aisha, opening the way forward. The metal of the doors seems ancient, creaking quite loudly as the old hinges are put to work. A small foyer lies behind them, containing a closed stone door on the left and right side of the room.
Satisfied that her skills weren't overly rusty, Aisha slips back onto the platform before looking to the others, since the only way to go was forward, and after taking a few steps back, she runs and leaps over the edge to the other pathway. Once there, she waits for the others to join her, and then suggests they simply open pandora's box by opening both doors at once. Either it would be the dumbest or greatest decision of her life she decided. With her taking the right (and thus correct) door herself.
Garu cautiously measures out her steps then runs and jumps over the gap. She looks a bit incredulously at the suggestion of opening both doors at the same time. “Let’s get Harmony in place. I suppose I have heard crazier suggestions” and take hold of the left door handle. “A little worried this opens up to being flanked.”

Harmony waited as the doors then got opened, taking steps back before following the lead of the others, running and then jumping over the gap too. She heard Aisha and Garu, nodding and standing in between the two doors so she can see and be ready for whatever is behind them once they are opened. If she sees anything or anyone hostile especially if it comes out of the door, she’ll shoot an arrow at it.
Both doors open, swinging on rusty hinges to reveal 20-by-25-foot chambers. On the right, Aisha reveals a room lined with crates and barrels. At the back of the room is a staircase spiraling downward into more darkness.
On the left, Garu reveals a room with a large bath in the center of the floor. Mist fills the air of the room, and racks have been placed along the far wall to hold towels. A small object floats in the middle of the bath.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aisha hesitates for a few moments, listening for any sounds other than ones the trio themselves made (passive perception 20, but not active so I know this will limit what she can glean.) And barring Aisha hearing something out of the ordinary, would turn to look at what Garu had found, since Aisha felt she had discovered the true path. And once looking at it, she found it odd, that amongst all the death and blood around the area, that there would be bathing facilites. And unless it wasn't mentioned, there didnt seem to be any blood, or body parts (unless that is what was floating) in the area.
And while she was curious, in the end, it was just a bath..... She would tell the others about the staircase, daggers still out, waiting for a moment before moving as silently as she could towards, and then down it.
The stairs descend for 20 feet before depositing you into a narrow hallway. The darkness seems almost more complete here, and the air colder as you descend further beneath the earth. At the end of the hallway is a closed stone door.
Aisha sighs in jutting waves, the kind where your body shakes as you sigh. Morre stone doors. Aisha would think she was in a temple if she didnyot knyow any better. she thought to herself.
Daggers still in hand, she makes her way quietly to the door, and with the others (assumedly) behind her, she pushes the door open, as gently as possible, though not expecting it to be a quiet process. She, if nothing else, readies her Evasive Maneuvers to prepare herself for a sudden attack.
Deathly stillness greets Aisha as the door grinds open to reveal five coffins laid out in a 25-by-25-foot chamber, three on the near side of the room, and two along the opposite wall. The carved orange rock walls are cleaner here, but one section has partially crumbled in a corner of the room, in disrepair from some shifting of earth above over the years.

Aisha breathes in through her nostrils slowly, methodically as either there are five vampires... or a few false coffins. Aisha has never had to deal with undead and knew little about them, but it was obvious enough to anyone with even a little wisdom that whatever she did was likely to lead to an ambush. Tsavi who'd been following close and quietly behind, having caught up moments ago pondered around the room. When an idea struck Aisha...
Aisha giving Tsavi an apologetic look as she leans in close to whisper what she wants the feline to do... Telling her to smell out the coffins... to see if there are any differences with them, to see if there is likely something inside one but not the other.... Anything that smells beyond what the overall atmosphere has....
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
That catches Aisha of guard. She expected there to be something there, and with Tsavi's keen sense of smell she should have been able to pick up on something... anything... but that shifted Aisha's focus. If there is nyothing in the coffins, then there must be something else here... if Aisha knew anything about vampires, she might assume they were simply out and may return later (As she didn't know that they used coffins to sleep in) We must look around then. There must be another hidden switch, or lever, or plate... somehting. lets not open the coffins yet.. let us check everything else here first, coffins only as a last resort.
Aisha would first check the walls for cracks, or similar places a lever might be hidden within. Perception: 18
going over it meticulously, then the floors, trying each foot of the ground individually putting her weight on it. Perception: 12
If none of that yeilded results, she would then, one by one, try each of the coffins exteriors, and if that failed, she would.. one by one, check the coffins interiors by removing the lids starting with the one that was northmost, and heading counter clockwise. Perception: 25

T'savi shakes her head, clearly displeased by the scent of whatever is lying in the coffins.
