"I can see in the dark, boy, but I'm not really stealthy. How about I follow you out of the light range, but I can warn you maybe before you step into something in the dark? Not that I will see very well through the light."
Drath offers "I am too old for all that creeping and crouching, but my eyes and ears are still sharp."
Deciding to leave the closed door the group heads to the stairs. Looking down the stairs you can see, from the light of your lantern, that the stairs descend for about 25 feet and then makes a right turn.
"I'll check the turn, then you can go with the light to scout, Teodor."
Drath goes down the stairs and peeks (not really stealthily with 3) down the corridor.
Drath goes down to the next landing and finds that the stairs continue down for about 25 feet before opening into a chamber. He can hear the faint sound of conversations up ahead.
"Time to sneak," he whispers with a nod to Drath. He moves forward slowly and carefully trying to see who is talking or maybe overhear a snatch of the conversation without being detected himself. He is as good as his word as he moves smoothly and quietly from shadow to shadow with nary a sound, hardly seeming to disturb the air around him.
Teodor can hear several people discussing how boring guard duty is. You estimate that 3 to 5 people are involved. The voices are coming from what is at the end of the stairs.
