Did the goblin want to open the door for her and the others? No. Did he have to? Yes. After not doing anything for a a few moments, he pressed his hand on the door, pushed it open with a grunt, and stepped aside. Are you happy now, human?
She stood a moment, wondering if she was supposed to provide some sort of password. The goblin was just staring at her, not opening the door, so she pulled out her paperwork and scanned for some sort of instructions. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, the goblin pushed the door open to let her pass. "Thank you, sir."

Happy to be moving along, she started down the stairs. She went down, and down, and down, and down... It was getting hotter and her legs were starting to burn with each step. She wondered why there wasn't some sort of elevator or other transportation method besides the stairs. She also wondered why she was sweating when it should have been getting colder as she descended.

She finally reached the bottom and the door to the Mint. "Proceed with Caution? Not a problem" she entered the room, extra careful to not touch anything or get too near one of the goblins at work. She had never been around so many goblins or so many coins. It was strange to think of the little round coins being anything but how they looked in her pocket. The blanking press was closest to her, then the next steps followed, ending with big bags of coins.

After pausing at each station, she worked her way to the end of the room to find yet another door. She looked to the nearest goblin, wondering if they needed to inspect her pockets before she left. No, she didn't take anything, but she also didn't wish to go against any rules. "May I go through the door now?"
