[Hmm... roll meeeee--Wits + either Investigation or Composure, with a -1 from difficulty.]

[4, 7, 8, 1, 4, 9]

Once more into the dark he crept, the door behind him whining against its rusted hinges. Asriel soon saw the main impediment to his path: a wall of more broken furniture like he'd seen in the room prior, mashed together with wooden planks, wiring, and pipes. This amalgamation of junk lay crammed within the already narrow hallway, though to the yordle's good fortune, there was a doorway on either side just before it. One looked like it may have once been a half-bath, filled with more random junk and debris. The other? From what he could tell from the doorway, used to be a study, with an empty fireplace and a capsized bookcase...

Upon reaching this intersection, Kennen's instincts told him to go towards the bath-like room. Though, since they have shaken off the ghoulish creatures for now, Asriel was drawn towards the study. His conclusion, however, was nonsensical, subconsciously drawn towards a place of information, despite the utmost slim, almost non-existing chance of finding the information he sought. The yordle soundlessly toddled in the direction of the tilted bookcase, scanning the study room. Mainly for the anticipated gap, but also for slivers of helpful information.

[9, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1]

Searching the room, Asriel stumbled upon old bloodstains on the floor, long since dried up, that arched from the study's lone, barricaded window towards the empty fireplace. Inspecting the chimney revealed an adhoc barricade made from crowbars with a number of dolls the size of the yordle's palm, hanging from lace and hempen string. Likely magical in nature, meant to ward off evil.

Further investigation of the study revealed a draft coming from behind the bookshelf...

[I take that the bookshelf is (mostly) empty, as it is tilted over? Can I inspect closer and see if I can find the source of the draft?]

[Roll Intelligence or Wits + Investigation again, with a -1 penalty but a +1 from previous success]

[5, 4, 9, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 10, 2 + extra 4]

While hard to see in the dark, Asriel's eyes had acclimated enough to spot the source of cool air now pushing against his borrowed face. A yordle-sized hole in the wall stood obstructed behind the capsized shelf, though he couldn't see what lay beyond.

Asriel would make sure that the shelf would not fall over before finding his way behind the shelf, slowly, carefully and ever so silently approaching the gap, his head moving close enough so he could peer inside the darkness of the next room.

The yordle winced as he felt the strain of pushing aside the shelf, Kennen's body still sore and weary as it tried to heal without rest. Asriel then found Faryn's promised passageway, though how anyone was able to use it without being the size of a yordle or small child remained suspect. The space between the walls suggested little room to maneuver. Asriel would have to stand up straight and walk side-ways to wherever the exit was.

Before getting in, the shinobi checked the walls for dangerous protrusions like nails or sharp edges with his hand and arm before he would align his body with the predefined pose. Confident in the protection Kennen's attire provided, the yordle would exhale all air and preemptively suck in his slim stomach as he moved through to the other room.

[Hmm... first roll Wits + Investigation with a -2 penalty, but a +1 from previous success. Then roll Dexterity + Athletics with a +1 per success you made (maximum of +5).]
