With no sign of Mardon present, Damian saw a potential opportunity with the fact that their group was just about as split as his was at the moment.  Walking as though he was in no particular hurry or had any particular purpose, he made his way up the stairs and waited at the top to make sure he wasn't followed before going around to the doors Lars had mentioned to him, pressed his ear against its woodwork, and listened for any sign of activity on the other side.  He would wait to check all the doors in that way until he checked them all and had an idea of what rooms were empty or if not, what was possibly happening on the other side.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Perception Check: 1d20a7 Result: 22 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37595)<br/></div></div>
