Well ... you suppose you won't be able to tell until you are on the other side of the door. And even if you don't turn up a better soft egress, so long as you don't waste too much time you don't see how you could end up any worse off than you already are. You try the handle, and permit yourself a rather heavy sigh of relief as the door silently swings open, and you step into this room for the second time time tonight, though now with the benefit of the light coming off of your 'stick-decanter, you can actually see ... though you would not so far as to say that you <span class="mu-i">understand</span>. It is inexplicable, but it seems you have wandered into a carpenter's shop. There is narrow but long workbench that runs along the nearest wall, the one shared with the hallway and the staircase, with woodworking implements hanging above it - saws and hammers and mallets and the like. The wall opposite of the bench is nearly concealed completely by stacks. Planks comprise the bulk of the stacks, a few of them are freshly cut and the rest are rather worn, though curiously most of them are not loose, but rather done up and nailed together in these tight squares ... you blearily look at them with dulled, drained and tired eyes, until it finally wins through that these must be either half-assembled or half-disassembled crates. There are a number of barrel-hoops here as well, concentrically stacked on top of these large ceramic pots which for a surety are holding the paint which for a surety you are smelling right now. The bulk of the stacks press out from the wall into the room to the point that it is very difficult to see around them, especially given their irregularity - if they intruded any more, there wouldn't be any floor free and clear to navigate through the room. As it stands, outside of the spaces cleared for the doors, there is a narrow band, a strip just wide enough for someone to make it through the space in single file, and even then they would be risking brushing up against the bench - which you can see now has portions of its overhang cut away, so that anyone working at is afford a bit more space. Overhead, there are two light fixtures hanging from the ceiling - and besides the two doors that you have entered this room through, there are two more - both along the wall opposite of the bench, one so close it is nearly in arm's reach and the other right across from the door you first entered this room from.
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> You will check the room over again, to better make sense of this odd space.
> You will check the nearer of the two doors on the wall opposite of the bench.
> You will check the further of the two doors on the wall opposite of the bench.
> You will quit the room, and head to (write-in)
