Youmu actually tried to open the door but found it locked since well most people would do that you know especially if they didn't wish to be followed. So when she went to pursue them she found herself pressing against the door to hasten it... only to have the paladin run up behind her and smash the door down with some serious effort causing it to fly off the hinges. Yumu and the paladin wind up on top of the door in a human pile on the floor. Down below was a staircase leading downwards. After they pick themselves off the ground they find a nasty mess of worthless rubbish. Dust was everywhere and no one used this place anymore. That much was certain. Suddenly an alley cat bolts right past them and out the stairs. What could have frightened it? A pack of verminous tiny rats nesting in rotten piles of cloth. A crate was in a corner of this twenty by fifteen foot room next to a bunch of heavy looking shelves loaded with useless knick knacks and such.
