The machinist didn't seem happy about his findings.
Maren - "I've found a pressure release gauge for the door... But it looks like it would flood the water directly into this are here. It would almost certainly unseal the door, but I can't know how much water would be expelled. Also I can't promise the tank won't re-pressurize itself if I close it again. We could get locked inside or the entire tunnel could flood. I don't see any other way to get in though."
Maren - "Well then... It looks like they may be sealing the door shut. Let's take a look then shall we?"
Gets closer to the hydraulic tank. He looks over the device to see if the crystal seemed to be holding enough of a charge that it would shock him to touch it.
Maren - "And it sounds as if there's machinery down this path. Do we stay as a group and deal with each one or should we split up and let you handle the magic while Rain and I deal with the machines?"
Maren - "If there are any mechanical traps on them we might be able to work them out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be any help with traps of a magical nature. We'll just have to tread cautiously."
Maren - "Rain, I could use another eye on this... I think that this section interacts with the second section via some sort of clockwork... I could use your expertise in remembering these exact sequences."
Maren - "I don't see why not. No reason to take the risk if we don't have to and there's no need for rushing as far as I know."
Go ahead and run, you'll only die tired.

Maren - "I'd rather not meddle with this until we know what its purpose is."
After looking at it for any obvious traps, Maren attempted to open the door.

Maren - "Maybe You should go first? I'm not a coward but I'm little more than a dabbler in the arcane."

Maren - "Well done Rain! Let's find out what's behind such a wonderful door!"
He began to walk towards the hallway.

He took a closer look at the hydraulic device and pulled out some tools that he used to tinker with the machine.

Maren also examined the door closer to see if he could understand its workings.
