It takes you less than ten seconds to open this simple lock. As you quietly tug open the door, your Kai senses detect the faint sound of snoring. You tell Hulsta and he says that it must be the owner, but your senses tell you otherwise. This sound is being made by a sleeping dog.

Cautiously you enter the shop to find yourself in a kitchen. Curled up and asleep in a corner is a large hunting dog. You call upon your Magnakai Discipline of Animal Control and command the animal to remain asleep before you beckon Hulsta to enter and close the rear door behind him.

Once inside, your guide moves quickly to another door and pulls it open. Beyond it you see a flight of steps leading down to the cellar below. Before he descends the steps, Hulsta pauses to light his lantern and then he leads the way.
