Quitxi's black-clad form crouches low as she creeps from one edge of the kitchen to the next... she holds up a hand for silence... finding the hidden door, she presses her ear to it for a moment before turning back to Sophie and Sweetwater... soundlessly, she draws out her lockpicks again as she traces out the edge of the door.  Resting her blade beside her foot, she turns and holds up two fingers, then points to the door and down, then holds her hand in a c-shape and opens and closes her fingers a few times-- interpreted successfully, she's hand-signing that someone is speaking down below-- two someones.<br/><br/>She places her lockpicks gently into the keyhole and works gingerly at them, opening the lock with a soft 'click' before slipping the masterful tools away deftly.  She picks up her blade and, pivoting it in her grasp, she checks with her allies to ensure that they are ready, giving a gentle nod as she opens the door.<br/><br/>(Rolls here, http://elliquiy.com/diceserv/index.php?r=1992 and http://elliquiy.com/diceserv/index.php?r=1991 ... yay!  Dice Roller likes me again.  PLUS, I forgot to add the bonus for the masterwork lockpicks, so I think maybe the 26 for open lock should have actually been a little higher.)<br/><br/>
