Kohm takes a deep breath, giving his throat and belly the sufficient air to channel his voice outward.
"Alright. Thanks for volunteering to check things out. So, cardinal directions- check your compasses! East, North, West, South, East- then you'll find yourself at a crossroads. In this case, West is the right path to take, but I'd like you to check on what's in the east."
Cora
```Footsteps and shuffling are heard as the group moves. They stop on the crossroads. Two sets of feet go to move east, but one doesn't want to go and decides to stay. Likely the craven officer.
The pair of officers that actually move, go slow and steadily as they approach the anomaly, and a quick shuffle of feet, then silence.
"Looks like a chest! I'm going to open it!" Manfred calls out.
There's the sound of metal and wood making noise, then swinging open. A bit of rummaging, then silence.
"Looks like a small cache of steel! Might be able to make stuff out of it later!" He calls out. "Heading back to the crossroads."
Steel? So this is a metalworking factory. Either that or this is stored material being used by the Highwayman or other people. Whatever the case, Kohm can claim the steel for himself or opt to give it to the officers. Their weapons and armament are well-kept, but a little more material for additional crafts can't hurt. Or Kohm can decide to split it between them.
They return to the crossroads and after getting there, all three sets of feet start moving. They follow the obvious path by themselves and eventually come to the second crossroads.
"Which way now?"```
Judy
Kohm whistles.
"Well, I suppose you folks would appreciate some weapons-grade steel to butter your coffers! Anyway, straight north is the right direction- ignore the small crossroads you will see on the east, but I need you to check South first."
Cora
```"South first. Got it." Manfred calls out.
They start moving in that direction. As usual, two pairs of feet instead of three as the other one stays behind.
They move forward for a moment, before there's sudden noises of rushing and animal sounds and a creature bolts up the shelves and runs away.
"Eh... Just a raccoon. Heading back again."
They proceed back, same as before, and proceed in the direction given by Kohm until they come to that other crossroads - third from the end, where the anomaly is in the opposite side of the wall to them.
Manfred waits for instruction.

Lee appears somewhat agitated. Has a bad feeling about it. Harold touches her on the shoulder and gives her a reassuring look.```
Judy
Kohm sighed in relief. One more set of instructions and they would be done. This would hopefully not be a big enough delay to warrant hurry. But just as he was about to issue it, from the corner of his 'vision', he noticed Lee's mix of emotions."...What's the matter?"
Cora
```Lee turns to Kohm. For a moment she's silent, then explains.
"I'm worried about them. What if the last thing gets them hurt? I do trust you to bring them back to us but I can't help worrying."
Especially since they're all considered her responsibility - if they die, it's on her. That was explained and made very clear by the captain who assigned the men to her.
"Don't let me discourage you from checking the last one though. I'm just on edge."
Shuffling of feet can be heard, going towards the correct path and then back. It seems the group inside the maze scopes out a little bit of the longer path while they waited.
Manfred calls out: "I think north is the way to go, but do you still want us to check south?"```
Judy
Kohm becomes silent, contemplative even for a brief moment before shrugging. 
Then he yelled. "Wait there! We're coming to you." 
With that done, he gives Lee and Harold a very cheeky smile, knowing full well he technically was being a maverick here.
But well, he hoped they wouldn't be too upset with this little joke of his.
