So Mazzy, will we wait here until our friendly giant awake? If so then we should prepare. A sleep spell is an odd trap unless someone takes advantage of it. If not, then how will we carry Minsc? Aerie, Edwin, do either of you know the flying disc cantrip?
"It pains me to wait while others are in danger, but it seems Arvoreen has willed that we remain here for a time. Be prepared minstrel, we must remain on guard in case of attack at all times, the legions of darkness hold sway here and wait for but the smallest chance to take advantage."
Montaron has found a secret door, to the east. (Since his player hasn't posted, I am doing it for him.) "What have we here?" he says cynically. "Bald one, give me a boost for a moment..." he says, staring at the sconces.
"Lets move Minsc to this side of the fire first. In fact, those that push the button should take a deep breath in case there is more sleep gas..." Garrick notice Mazzy's gaze and continues "or whatever you think is appropriate miss Fentan."
"No need for honorifics, you may address me as Mazzy. We are all friends here after all." She eyes Edwin. "Or so we assume."
Mazzy walks over to look up at Montaron and the sconces. She ponders the Idea of it being a trap.
"I do not think someone would go through such trouble to hide a trap, but this is a strange place. Everyone prepare for the worst before Montaron presses this button."
She wait for everyone to prepare spells and take up arms.
"Garrick, if you and Ajantis will assist me. We can drag Minsc body to the center of the room, where he should be safe. After we do this Montaron will push the button."
Okay... Everyone gets into position and Montaron pushes the button. It's stiff, and he realizes it won't stay pressed unless something is placed on top of it to hold it down. But when it is pressed, the wall at the back of the 10' by 20' wide room swings open, revealing a 40' long by 20' wide room in the back, with a pair of double doors to the east, which are closed.
"I say we assign Montaron the super special job of holding that button. Would you like that Monty? Auntie Skie thinks you're super special and should have this super important job. Well Monty? Huh? What do you say?" Skie asks Montaron in an annoyingly cheerful tone, as if talking to a child.
Skie then whispers to Mazzy, "if Montaron doesn't agree to it, I say we take the rodent from the unconscious barbarian and glue it to the switch to hold it down..."
It is a rather mundane tactic compared to using Boo (whom, I also technically have, as I removed him from the slumbering Minsc earlier, as part of my offer to help move Minsc...my strength being a 9 and all... Minsc will thank me, and Boo will perhaps let me handle him as I saved him from this gruesome fate).
Sarevok agrees to carry Minsc as far as the party wants... "we could use this Ranger to hold the switch he certainly weighs enough..." Sarevok laughs for a moment and then stares back at the group with an expressionless face.
There's any number of heavy things on the non-fire side to hold down the button. Aerie looks for something to toss over for the others to jam into the mechanism.

Anyway. I'll go through the fire to help drag Minsc.
"Jam something to hold the button and let us look to these new doors. Saervok perhaps you can carry Minsc a bit further? At least until he awakens."

I must be too good at remaining hidden...
Oh well I believe we have a new door to explore?
