Seeing the gnome coming straight to the door, Irostine takes out his bow and nocks an arrow expecting something on the other side of the door.

Igden:

If they way seems clear after the door opens, Igden proceeds to scout ahead.

Stealth 18

Perception 12

The show of strength from Saryn seems to impress the Magister. Igden stares down a dark staircase, lacking the lighting from the previous room. Creeping down the steps, Igden can feel the loose stones beneath his feet, creating some unstable footing. The sound of metal scraping over stone is sounding from down below, about 200 feet down the staircase. So far, there have been no traps or mechanisms that Igden can see.

Saryn

Saryn follows behind Igden axe at the ready. "Tá do dheartháir agam."

(For those who speak Gnomish)

Saryn

"Níl ach seasca troigh dom. Tá áthas orm go bhfuil mé anseo freisin." She gives a slight chuckle as she pats you on the shoulder.

(Gnomish)

Igden and Saryn proceed down the steps until he can perceive what is causing the no8se.

Perception 8

Saryn

As Igden had pointed out the noise Saryn listens as well.

Perception : 19

Dominique nods. "Sure thing Pazumin. " The half elf pulls out a ribbon and speaks some words of minor arcane power. The ribbon lights up brightly. "Here, use it as a headband and you'll have your hands free. Just keep covering the rear and let the soldiers with night vision take the front." He draws his sword and deftly sneaks after the little scouts. Stealth 18 

Following Dominique's lead Val follows Saryn, and Igden down the path.

Perception: 13

Iro follows behind Saryn and Igden 25 feet

Break out some rations so I don't starve.

Travelling down the hall a short ways, the source of the scraping becomes apparent to Saryn first, then Igden, and then the rest of the party. A large blade swings back and forth across a hallway, scraping the floor with each pass. Just beyond the blade is a lever on the wall, rusted into position with the passage of time. With a bit of elbow grease, you could probably push it into the other position, though you'd have to get past the blade first.

Saryn

Saryn reaches out and holds Igden’s shoulder. “Let me try first.“

As the blade swings past Saryn leaps for the other side. 

Enna

While following along with the group slowly Enna notices the swinging blade ahead with the barbarian trying to jump past. She pushes her way through the group to the front. After she places her arrow back in her quiver and her bow over her shoulder she takes a big swig from her flask. Studying the blade slowly trying to time it perfectly. She takes a running start and attempts to dive to the other side of the blade. 

Acrobatics 22

Upon making it to the other side she stands up and brushes herself off. “Thats how you do it.” She reaches up to pull the lever on the wall.

Strength 15

Enna's pull on the lever is met with some resistance, but after a bit, the lever shifts, and the swinging blade comes to a sudden halt with a loud CLANG that echoes down the hallway. A brief moment of silence passes before Magister Albrecht says, "I think it is safe to proceed."

Igden:

"Thanks Enna, well done!"

Igden (and Saryn?) continue down the corridor.
