Liu watched Kyang pick the lock with mild interest, the sound of metal hitting metal becoming almost rhythmic in fashion. Her progress, however steady it was, felt quite slow to him; the most he could hope for was that they'd at least be able to enter unnoticed.

But really, though... Sneaking out often? What kind of family did Kyang come from?

Before the hunter could further indulge in his thoughts, though, he heard a click from the lock. Wow. That was... Faster than expected.

"Good job, Kyang. Let's hope there isn't an ambush waiting for us inside," he said, slowly opening the trapdoor to reveal a set of wooden stairs within. Slowly climbing down into the hideout, Liu took note of how... Open the space was. A few torches seemed to line the walls, giving an eerie atmosphere to the already a unsettling hideout. But, at the very least, nobody seemed to be lying in wait for them.

A single passageway stood at the end of the room, fancily marked by golden statues--no doubt robbed from some pitiable merchant. Was this boss an idiot or something?

"I think we're all clear. Be wary of any surprise attacks, though; we don't know what's waiting for us ahead. Keep close."
