Neighboring rooms

I am as ready as I can be and grab my bag, mask and a baseball bat incase things get hairy so to speak. I open my door and my nose is assaulted with a new odor, deep and musky but I solider on. To my left and right in the hall is clear so far nothing to worry yet. To my left I can hear a rustling maybe another human or one of those beasts and on my right I don't hear anything but the pungent smell is coming from that direction. The door straight across from mine has no visual indicators.
