Ardo see Drethen walk into the next area takes some time to light up a lantern and hands it off to Delgar. "Drethen might need some light and if it comes to fighting Delgar I can't have my hands full so can you hold this for him." Ardo waits for Delgar to go into the secret entrance. "You gentlemen see anything interesting?"
Opening the door, Drethen finds a ten foot wide passage that appears to connect Tarlech's office with the mausoleum from the evil cleric's cave.
Lying just inside the passage is the body of an unfortunate thief. Even a cursory glance shows that he is long dead, his body reduced to a mere skeleton inside moldering leather armor and rotted cloth. A closer examination shows that he must have died from a broken leg. The body seems to have been looted long ago, as witnessed by the slit belt-purse. His weapons have rusted away, and they crumble if disturbed, as does the rest of his gear. A strange coating of yellowish fungus seems to cover all his bones.
"Well it that skeleton has not risen up to attack us so that must be considered a good sign. I for one am not going to even step close to something that has something growing on it. "
Out of character: If I walk into the secret hallway is there enough room to get by without disturbing this yellow fungus?
Davik shouts from the back of the party: "Would you like me to search for traps in that room?" He hands Rusty's lead to Jude once again and runs back up to check the room for traps.
Ardo seeing Davik coming to check for traps decides to step back out of the secret hallway and wait for the all clear. "Drethen you want to wait for Davik to give the area a once over?"

Davik enters the secret corridor. There's plenty of room around the body given that the corridor is ten feet wide and the body is from somebody who was five feet tall, at best.
Carefully searching the area, Davik doesn't find any indication of traps. But, he does find what he thinks is a trap door in the ceiling of the corridor.
Hunter looks up (Not sure how high it is) and comments, "That may be something a person with climbing skills can accomplish."
