The north door is one of those dwarven, heavy carved doors with a one inch sill. There is no room to place a spike in this well constructed door. The south opens into a chamber full of webs
Kell looks one way and then the other, "Webs...perhaps we didn't clear out *all* of those spiders after all. Best to deal with that now when we are at full strength rather than risk something coming up from behind, or besetting us as we retreat to the well later after expending out resources."
"Then perhaps a look behind that closed door built by my ancestors before moving on?"

The webs flare up! After a minute or two of choking black smoke, the flames die down and reveal a rough chamber of about 20' in diameter, and some bones on the floor.

Agreed!
Kell cautiously enters the chamber, keeping an eye out for any beasties that might drop from the ceiling, or rise up from the bones. After making sure the room is safe, he will examine the bones for any treasure left behind.

I don't think we need more than Kell and William to enter the chamber, the rest of us will stand watch in the main passage, the front part of the party looking forward towards the entrance we came in from before, the back part looking toward the rear and the lantern. At least a couple folks in the middle ranks should observe the goings on in the chamber.

Kell's dwarven senses alert him to some badly camoflauged wood painted to look like rock on the east wall of the chamber. It was probably hidden behind the webs that were burned.

Hmm, we probably should check that out before proceeding, we wouldn't want to not get to it and have the spider temple folks remove anything interesting from behind there since it became obvious it was there now.

"Look here!" Kell says pointing at the poorly concealed door, "It looks like someone tried to hide a door here by making it look like stone."
He moves back to the corridor and tells everyone who didn't enter about the probable secret door in the chamber finishing with, "We should explore behind that door before moving on. If it wasn't important it wouldn't have been camouflaged in the first place."

His scented kerchief still to his nose, Flandil nods to Kell and indicates with a flourish that he will continue to keep watch in the corridor outside.
