I think Ghur and Ruisxys have basically switched places: she's now poking about the room with the switch, and he's gone to the main entryway to call the orcs out:
While his friend looked for a secret door, Ghur went to the closed doors.
If she doesn't find anything, and if no news of a truce filters down to her, Ruisxys will make sure the switch is set to the safe unlocked position and rally everyone to the doors to get ready to do things the hard way.

Ghur groaned, a wave of guilt rushing over him. He had convinced the group not to just kill the orcs and to try and use the traps against them. It didn't work. He also convinced the group to siege the orcs out, and now the orcs had gotten free and were using the same traps he tried to weaponize. If he had just resorted to violence, then they might well have already been heading home with prize in hand. He got to his feet, his axe gripped tight. He would not make the same mistake twice. The orcs would die, diplomacy be damned. (un)fortunately, violence came quite easily.
Nooooo! Ruisxys will have to have a reassuring chat with Ghur later, in an attempt to cheer him up and encourage sticking with the let's-try-the-minimally-murderous-method-first style. It might not work, but might result in less guilt when things break down and it's axe-swinging time. :)
