"Maybe if we work toge...." Auric starts, then stops just as quickly as Valen moves up and easily opens the door. "I wonder where this comes out," he says instead, looking up through the opened door.

Rayner and Urukar strain for a few seconds before declaring it sealed. Valen silently opens it as if it were paper.
You emerge in a basement, obviously residential, and obviously rarely used. Knick knacks are scattered and stacked around, and a staircase is off to the side.

"Huh. Looks like someone's house. Suppose we can't avoid it; we'll just have to go out through here and deal with the owners. Hopefully they're nice."
Mal'thrae sheathes his weapons and helps Floon and the rest up. He gets to the stairs (assuming closed but unlocked door) and knocks twice loudly before opening it.
Mal'thrae opens the door to a very surprised halfling family. They stare open mouthed at the heavily armed strangers dripping with sewage, and slowly raise their hands.

Auric:
"Don't worry, folks," says Auric disarmingly, "You had a pretty nasty clog about 50 feet back, but we got it cleared out real good. Just keep the stone door shut, and maybe board it up. Sorry about the mess." Auric keeps moving along like it is just another day unclogging the sewers and heads for what looks like the front door.
“Ah.” Mal’thrae looks down at his sewage-filled boots, then at the poor family. “Not to worry, we’re just trying to get back out of the sewers after that nightmare of a thing we found. You’ve got a hatch in your basement leading to a deathtrap. Might want to seal that up.”
“Sincerest apologies for the mess we’ve made upon our arrival. We ought to clean our mess up, or at least pay someone else to do it for this family here. Speaking of which, know the direction of the nearest place to clean ourselves off?”
They look quite confused, but put their hands down at least. "There's a bathhouse right down the...who are you? What do you mean hatch in the basement?"

"Well, we're really just a bunch of friends looking for our friend, and we found him." Mal'thrae says, patting Floon on the back.
"And by hatch in the basement, I mean that there's a trapdoor that leads to a tunnel that leads to a hidden base of the Xanathar Guild (run by this really, really stupid half-orc) that we just trashed trying to get our friend back. Like I said, might want to seal that door up."
"True, that was the specific nature of the clog we just cleared out," agrees Auric, flipping the nearest halfling a gold piece, and continuing, "and it may come back or may stay clear for a while, but you don't want the Xanathar backing up in your basement, for sure. Again, sorry about the mess.""A bath house sounds good about right now, especially if they have some good rubbing sand for my scales," thinks Auric, his step quickening in that direction.

The halfling, still a little shocked, does happen to live in the dock ward so he takes this in stride and nods. "We'll seal it up immediately. Thank you for not looting us."

"Left the hatch open." Valen says with a shrug as he heads on out past the family. "You shouldn't have any trouble finding it now..." He heads out onto the road and will head to the bath house to get cleaned up.
You squelch down to the bathhouse, drawing a few curious looks, but no one stops you. Despite being in the Dock Ward, it looks rather nice and fully functional. Stepping inside, there's a reception desk with a young gnome attendant. The attendant looks you all up and down, and says "Full service is 5 silver each. Includes use of the baths, steam rooms, massages, and sand scrubs. I'll assume you'll want that package."

Valen will climb up and in, leading the way as he opened the door, but will let the others take the lead once up into the cellar, or whatever it is.

Mal'thrae bows slightly. "And thank you for not attacking us. Have a good evening."
He quickly follows the rest toward the bath house, cleaning himself off.

He prepares for a nice washing!
