Unsurprisingly, Konrad has not magically gained the ability to rip a steel door off of it's hinges in the last three seconds.
It's still a steel door.
He's still Just A Guy.
A tenacious, slow learning guy.
Seriously y'all? It's a steel door and none of you even have Vigor. what's next? roll Athletics to flap your arms and fly? :/
Konrad stops, stepping back and shaking his hands out. "Well there goes that idea. Don't suppose anyone brought a cutting torch?"
This is bad. Their operation has reached its first impasse before it really got off the ground. But then who's to say it would have even worked if they had gotten inside.
"Ale, go check the body of that guy you took down. Maybe he's got another key. Hilda, don't suppose you've got a hairpin on you?" Seems like a good time for a joke.
Hearing the groan of the metal door, Juan sighed. What the hell are they doing? he thought to himself in annoyance. He raised a finger to his headset, and realized Konrad had turned his off.
"Fuck." He reflexively hissed. He had no way of communicating with them without leaving his spot.
Reluctantly, he turned his augmented eyesight toward the direction of where they were in attempts to see what it was they were up to.

-1 Vitae Blush of Life, 
-2 Vitae for Blush of Life and Drink, Seemed the damn door wasn't going to budge. Maybe using fire power had been a little bit too much to start with.
She gives a quick nod and makes her way back to where the body was, hoping it was still there. And that there was a key or something.

Stepping back, Hildegarde pulled at her hair.
"Here," she said as she offered an old hairpin (hair falling untidily down one shoulder). "Not sure how this will assist you. Look. No key holes. This door must be sealed from within. In that case..."
Once she had handed the pin over, the Lord moved off to the surface for another look at the site. She had not seen the shed with the fuel supplies on this expedition, but she clung to the hope that it would still be there.
"If we cannot get in, perhaps we can slow down their fortifications - pull down the wooden barrier. Next time we come we must come in force. I think stealth is pointless now. And secure one of those guards... if they still live. We need to go back with... something."
Probably should have checked for this earlier, but is the fuel dump still on site? If it is, Hilde will move towards it in the hope of stealing a barrel of fuel and using it to bomb the door.

There has never been a dump or shed in these threads...

For someone who had been unwilling to return empty-handed, Hildegarde seemed to have already given up on pursuing Coturi. But her suggestions aren't bad ones.
"Yeah, alright," he says with a grimace. "We'll make use of these cocktails and firebomb the bramble wall on our way out. We don't want to stick around once these go off. The guy Ale shot up seemed to still be alive but I wouldn't be surprised if he's in bad shape. We can work on him in the van. Just don't anyone get ideas about drinking him dry before we have a chance to milk him for information."
Easier said than done. Though Konrad doubts the thrall would be able to tell them much. The real prize is Coturi, but they're settling for the consolation.
Since picking the no lock isn't an option, he re-sheathes his knife and makes his way back towards where Ale and the sentry should be.
Staring at the group of Kindred in front of the metal door. Never a good sign. He sighed heavily, shaking his head and adjusting his eyesight. It was apparent they weren't going to progress any further tonight. The Daeva crept low along the ground, moving toward them with purpose.
"It's obvious we're not making much progress tonight," Juan whispered as he drew close. "Let's take the peon, put a blind fold on him, and get out of here before we're spotted." He did not add his dire thought on the situation.
Chances are, we already have been.

Hildegarde was giving the site one last look over while the others prepared to move.
"I remember... tents... One of them was where they kept barrels of fuel. And they used that to incinerate the bunker." She turned cautiously to Ale and Konrad. "Would a burning barrel open the door? It is certainly what they deserve." For the Kogaoin. For the Rampant Dragon. For the Regent. And the others.
She waited, poised, for their appraisal. Now was not the time to go slinking off without informing the rest of her party.
A big thanks to West for clarifying this last bit

When Konrad arrives at where Ale went and where they had left the sentry. If they're still there, Konrad bends down to assess the Kine to see if they're still alive and how badly hurt they are. Once he's determined that, he'll begin to search the body, fully expecting to resist the urge to feed on him.
Regarding's Hilda's memory of a tents and fuel barrels, Konrad only acknowledges her with a nod to indicate that he's heard her. Seems like there's still talk of hanging around to do some damage. But such actions may depend on the state of their captive...
