"Hey! I'm gonna try an' lift this portcullis to open it up. Anybody wanna help?" He then steps up to the portcullis and squats down, apparently attempting to lift it with his legs.

“Not particularly.” Lysander says boredly.
A changeling in their true form comes over. "I'll help, though I'm not very strong..."

Jörmandu and Lynn try lifting the portcullis. It seems to lift for a second only to come down again. Seems they don't have the strength required to get it up.
Actually, (looking at Lynn's updated sheet and what Druid rolled) the 1d20-1 rolled should've been 1d20+2. As the base for 17 would've been 18, 18+2 = 20 which (barely) meets the DC for raising the portcullis.
The portcullis creaks open upon the duo's shoulders, causing them to shake under the weight of the iron bars.
The way is now open.
Also, Jörmandu and Lynn will have to make a Strength Saving Throw at the beginning of each subsequent round to keep holding up the portcullis. Since they helped each other I'll cause a success on the throw from one a success for both to keep holding it open.
If Lysander, Harmir, Ariana, or Kyren wish to enter they may.

[[ Given the bear is large-size and you've got Jörmandu right next to you, I'd say that's contraindicated at the moment since the portcullis space is relatively narrow for two creatures standing side by side. ]]
Lysander finds the wooden doors unlocked and is able to get a view of the courtyard of the keep.
This gravel courtyard is ten feet higher than the ground outside the keep, so it’s only ten feet lower than the parapets of the outer wall. Stone staircases connect the courtyard to the top of the wall.
He's able to see a small building, a medium one, and a larger one in the courtyard. In addition there's stairs upwards and further doors he can see. Two to the gatehouse and one to the Keep itself.
"Hurry! I don'ts got all day!", Jörmandusays to the others.
(For clarity, Jörmandu hasn’t told the group his name yet.)

Hi there! My name's Elk. I'm NoiSilverheart's doppelgänger. I'm a demi/grayromantic, socially awkward Okie who may or may not be a pyromaniac. *random confetti blast*
I'm a warlock of the Archcrone, and my patron is TheFriendlyArchfey. I was nicknamed AchatesCervus8337 by VitusW and given the titles "Swashbuckling Scorcher", "The Unpredictable Jedi", "Burning Fury of the Ancients", and "Combustion Knight" by DrummerBoyDragonSlayer.
[[ Are there any questions on anything? Right at the moment it's open for your characters to start exploring the keep. Feel free to list a couple locations in order of how you'd like to approach things. (That way if one of them is empty, can mention the next right away.) ]]
As Harmir goes up the stairs he gets a look over the yard and keep.
He can see the various buildings in the court yard, their roofs holding out well. Across he sees the keep standing with its two stories and the parapets are in good repair.
[[ Technically Harmir would be on the ramparts in the second image, but just keeping the PCs together in the picture right now ]]
“Well, suppose we should start with the smaller buildings first. Just to make sure there’s nothing else before we explore the main part.” She walks up to the medium sized building inbetween the larger one and the smaller one (AKA the 4 by three squares one) and casts detect thoughts to see if there are any creatures nearby she isn’t aware of.
As Ariana walks up to the building she is unable able to sense the presence of any creatures using detect thoughts.
[[ Relevant part of the spell description for others' reference.
You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language.
As Ariana opens the doors she's greeted by a peculiar sight.
The interior of this building reeks of mildew, and everything here is shrouded in dust. You see a stone fireplace and six sets of wooden bunk beds holding rotting, straw-filled mattresses. Lying atop four of them are dusky green creatures with blocky bodies and heads, but no arms.
@Kasrick, I forgot one of the box texts when Harmir ascended the wall.
A cornerstone has been placed where the battlements of two converging walls meet. Drilled into the top of the cornerstone is a cylindrical hole roughly five inches wide and one foot deep. The hole’s interior is lined with lead.
A changeling in their true form comes over. "I'll help, though I'm not very strong..."
