"Allow me instead", says Pumfrey, with a wink and a skip. He heads to the door, looking carefully for traps and anything else of interest. Once at the door, he trains his ears on what might be on the other side...

Heeding Earc's words, Hereward follows carefully behind, watching for anything suspicious or unusual.

Light hammer (THAC0 19): [1d20+1] = 8+1 = 9 [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5

Hereward grasps his hammer and aims a stroke at the nearest goblin.

Hereward agrees. "The battle room appeals to me. This place offends my senses."

Pumfrey tiptoes back to the others.

"I'm pretty sure there's someone or something on the other side of that door. And it sounds like they're having fun."

Hereward quickly peers through the broken door to the left..

"Right behind you lady", says Pumfrey, peering between Elitir's legs towards the void.

Sounds ok to me. But don't be surprised if I high tail it to the back at the first sign of trouble.

Not sure about being first into the inky void though. Let's wave Mac's 10' pole through it.

Pumfrey is enraptured by Mac's tale.

"Wow friend, you should make that story into a trilogy. Maybe make a few halflings the central characters. Call it something like 'Lord of the Winds'. Could be a winner."

Dripping water from everywhere, Pumfrey is indebted to Elitir . "I owe you one Madam. If you need a hand, anything, just let me know and I'll be there." He looks around at his companions. "I couldn't think of a finer bunch to be trapped with on a mysterious island. With certain death ...
