Cordwin will let one of the fighter types open the doors, but he will take a listen and check for traps.
Reynard will open the doors once Cordwin gives the all-clear.
"Are you trying to imply that 'The Great Food-Stealer-Survivor' [he uses the Dwarven tongue for the name], isn't a 'proper' name?"
"Oh no. I think it's a fine name." Druamin repeats the Dwarven name. "See, it just rolls off the tongue." He reaches over and knocks on the double doors. "So what you say? Everyone ready to see what's behind here?"
Skarn will step up next to Druamin as he goes to open the door.
The hinges are old and gritty, and the doors are quite heavy.
After a bit of a struggle, the party opens the doors to reveal a flight of stairs leading down into the darkness. They switch back and forth a few times as they descend about 150 feet, eventually ending at another set of double doors.
"Down into the depths makes me feel more at home, eh Druamin?"
No one notices anything in the way of traps on the door, and it opens rather more easily than the one above. The room revealed is cold and damp, featuring a large pool in the floor, the edges of which are caked with pale yellow slime and fungus. The surface of the pool bears a similar film. Additional carvings of skulls decorate the walls here. To the south, an impressive mound of skulls—mostly from humanoids—lies heaped against the wall, where they partially block a large stone double door.
There is a large creature mostly-submerged in the pool. As the doors open it rears up, roaring, and brandishes a trident in one massive clawed hand.

”Well, I’ll be, a ‘scrag troll!’ I’ve heard tell of them, but never seen one. It will only regenerate while in the water.”
"You take one side, I'll take the other" Reynard calls over his shoulder to Trox, before moving forward.
Trox breaks out of his daze and double moves into the room shield and sword at the ready.
