You approach the hatch - a rough-looking square door made of metal - grasp the handle, turn it, and pull outward. The hatch does not budge and seems to be sealed shut.

You turn the handle and give a couple more tugs before a loud bang against the other side of the hatch startles you. Hesistantly, you knock on it and listen. No response comes.

You decide to go back and...

Check the second hatch
Check the hole in the wall
Check the rope ladder by the wall
Check the trapdoor in the floor
