The Dragon Empire IC, Part III

[Aeryk]

River finds an uneven segment of the wall, which looks like it can be opened up. Opening the disguised hatch with a slight squeal from the hinge, he sees a wooden handle inside attached to metal cable. It looks like it could be pulled.

River looks at the handle, then turns back to anyone gathered nearby. "Stand back," he warns, then pulls it slowly, ready to jump away in case anything should go awry.
