"Lem" scuttled cautiously to the door on the right, listened, then opened it before rolling in to ultimately come up in a combat-ready crouch.

While no one else did anything in particular, "Lem" listened to the door to the right, heard nothing, and bashed the stuck door open. He rolled in and came out of his roll in a combat-ready crouch...into a dark room.
Once someone shone a flashlight into the room, they found it was 20' long and 40' wide. The ceiling was 11' high. The room seemed to be either a storage room or a refuse dump, or a bit of both. There were mounds of moldy, stinky straw and hay. There was a pile of burlap sacks. There was a mound of, well, the last one was a mound of potatoes.
The walls of the room had more artwork on them, in the same style as the first three rooms, with men and lizard men represented on them.

"If we want to search this place more carefully we can later," The Leading Man said. "Let's get on down that hallway."

They agreed to keep searching. The corridor turned south, then after a short distance turned west again. Around the corner to the west, the corridor ended in another pair of double doors. The large wooden doors looked very old and warped. Though they were stuck, "Lem" was still able to bash them open. Behind these doors was a cavernous chamber, 90' on a side. The ceiling was a dome 30' high. Who built this place?? Inside the entrance were stairs leading down into brackish water. The walls were coated in wet green weeds and slime and the air was humid. Chains with manacles were set in the side walls, hanging almost to the water level. There was an empty torch sconce to the left of the entrance.

Howard says " hmm a jail here. This must go back to the colonial times. I doubt our bomb makers made this here. We should retrace our steps."

"Lem's" electric brain wondered what colonial times Howard meant. But it also agreed that they should retrace their steps and search the other areas of the complex.

CA will continue to search for any bomb plans. Also if the cabalist has any healing spells could he use them on the gangster's to wake them and interrogate them.

The Cabalist wished he had a healing spell, but they had kept up such a tough pace over the past 24 hours that he had not had enough time to rest and re-prepare a spell.
They retraced their steps to the pillared hall. Here, they could go southeast, north, or return to the previous room to the west where there was an untried door to the south.

Lem moved southeast, along the way he said, "No signs of more bad guys, yet."

The southeast passage extended only 20' before ending at a pair of double doors. This pair was stuck and, without even listening at them, anyone near the doors could hear a humming sound coming from behind them. There was no light showing from under the doors, though.

The Leading Man looked to make sure the others were with him, then he burst through the doors.

The Leading Man burst through the doors with The Cabalist right behind him (and, I presume, Captain Avenger behind him). They entered a hexagonal chamber 60' on a side, with a 30' vaulted ceiling. In the northeast corner is a dais with an 8' tall stone statue atop it. The statue looks like a crude lizard man with its clawed hands held forward and a long tongue hanging out of its mouth. There is a narrow stream pooling around the southwest corner of the room and then stretching across to the southeast side. Crossing the stream is a bridge. The curved bridge itself is stone, but the railings on the bridge is made out of bones. The bridge is pointed towards a 15' diameter archway leading southwest. Flanking either side of the archway is a skull mounted on a pole. There is a definite audible hum in the air, coming from beyond the archway.
