She spills the location of the enemy 'secret base' and everyone hauls ass to get there as soon as possible. Usually it pays to have a plan before bursting in through the door, but our protagonist likes to improvise on the fly in classic Indiana Jones style. Plus it saves time. Only problem is a squad of death ninja show up out of the darkness and murder the bright one, which they brought along to give them directions, but then mysteriously slink away without continuing their assault. This is going to be a real head scratcher for readers since they could have pretty easily killed the Heroine or at least one of the supporting characters (have not designated who is the red shirt yet).
The group mulls that over a bit, comes up with some conspiracy theories, but ultimately they plow on ahead and burst through the front doors to a guard station. The guards really don't pose much of a threat, but the group takes some precautions and lures them out by trickery anyway since they could have some kind of nasty trap set up. Turns out it was all for nothing because the 'secret base' is practically empty. This only adds to the sense of conspiracy since there are no signs of hasty departure or getting packed up. Just to make light of the situation, the sidekick cooks up some delicious ramen in their own kitchen.
Break time ends and now everyone is just wandering around trying to find someone, anyone in this place, but the group stumbles upon a hallway with a door on either side. The door to the right gets checked and a big nasty looking hound is inside, and he starts barking up a storm. The group decides to try and save themselves some time and hopes that the barking will lure an enemy, and sure enough it does! The door right behind them snaps open and they run right into a mini-boss! The fight is not too dangerous but cuts and slashes are dished out to almost everyone involved. In the chaos of battle a fire gets set, and the mini-boss is defeated. Even as the body is toppling into the flames, the group spies important documents going up in flames.
The child of Loki suddenly gets supernaturally lucky and plucks a bunch of useful scraps out before they get completely incinerated, and a bookcase that fell over reveals a convenient secret passage. That's probably a good thing, because suddenly a large squad of guards are rushing right towards our heroic party. Need to do a little revision on the final draft, because a reader is going to wonder where they were when the group was wandering around for an hour and made some ramen in their kitchen. In any case, they escape down the tunnel to safety and the swarm of guards do not persue them through the burning room.
