Now's not the time to find a voice, Ordrag thought as he peered down the corridor and prepared to do his best to move quietly. And libraries? What a waste of space. Ordrag couldn't think of anything more ridiculous than a whole room full of books. Perhaps he wouldn't mind so much if only he could read...

How does a red dragon blow out the candles on its birthday cake?
The corridor is much more pleasant than any tunnel in the last dungeon you saw - it is dark, but at least dry, with no foul odours (the opposite even - faint smell of burned incense, as in some Temple) and with well preserved brick walls. Very quiet too. It runs for about 30 feet, then turns and almost immediately ends with the door - closed tightly and with the means to jam it completely from that side.
It does not look like the door has any traps but Ordrag can definitely hear a half dozen humanoid voices chanting in a language he does not understand.
While they walk down the corridor Polly pipe up a little embarrassed “Fran, do you think it would be okey for me to ride on Brutus? All this walking is hard with my short legs.”
Of she gets the OK from Fran she will start to cast detect magic from Brutus back
Ordrag will warn the others of the activity beyond the door. A peek into the room before starting their assault would be good, but Ordrag doesn't trust himself to do so quietly.

Fran would smirk and go to give Brutus another hallow pat, but would stop short and give Polly a thumbs up instead. The artificer was fine holding up the rear to watch their backs, though when Ordrag stops to warn them, she’d be willing to take a look if no one else wants too.
Adray stares down through the trap door into the darkness. He was content to hang back, not being able to see. Luckily, it wasn't long before they hit a door. Unluckily, it sounded like there were people behind it. Whispering to Polly, he says, "Can your mouse get to the other side?"
Choir takes out her sparkly dice and wonders whether casting Augury is worth a spell slot...because she doesn't think they want to sit down here long enough for an entire ritual.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“sure thing Adrey! Owis were up!” With a faint pop Owis disappear and the reappear on the other side of the door. “I wont be able to see or hear while we are scouting so if something happens here just tap my shoulder and I’ll pop right back.”
And with that Pollys eyes goes blank. In Owis form Polly will sneak up on the people talking and try to listen to that they are saying.
Choir shrugs. If they are waiting for the mouse, she may as well try it. Choir spends ten minutes shaking the dice--high, low, in the middle, one side, then the other--while doing a little dance for luck, muttering a sacred song under her breath...."dem bones dem bones dem dry, dry bones..." Finally, she blows on the sparkly set of dice, and rolls them across the floor to complete the Augury ritual, silently asking Akady what would come of opening the trap door....

“Im sorry Adrey, but without knowing where to summon Owis, I can’t send him to the other side of the door.. If we still want to scout ahead then we have to open the door to let him in.” Polly say while she continue to cast the detect magic spell.
She also tell them what she can understand behind the door.
The Auguri ritual does not really take that long, but the answer that came to Choir was vague and grim - not a single dice showed anything higher than 2 and the feel of battle - scary and exhausting, like the one with the "skull-man", that Choir fought not long ago in the dungeon - overwhelmed little kenku.
"Looks like rough weather ahead,"Choir mutters, but adds, "So, what else is new?"

Adray goes and grabs the handle or latch and presses turns/lifts it gently to see if it's unlocked. He looks at each for a confirmation nod before he does anything else. He wants to make sure they are ready before they all bust in to ruin this party.
