She does not, but can only see the bits that are visible from the door, the room itself seems to go further north of the door, but the southern wall of the room is easy to see being a bit over 5' south of the door. Plus there are multiple dark patches. The ceiling is gone from the room, but there doesn't look like much, if any, of the roof is gone. But other than that you hear nothing.

The door doesn't budge a bit. It would pull out, but those hinges are pretty melted, practically unrecognizable except for the fact that the melted bits of metal are about where hinges would be. When you put even more strength into it, the melted handle starts to pull from the door, charred splinters falling off. You can continue to pull, and pull off the handle if you want. Help with pulling will only succeed in pulling that handle off quicker.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

"From the smell, if we find either, I bet they are dead."
Ogre watches Elwita but makes no move to help.
"El, you and me ain't here for our thinkin'. Why dont cha' wait and see what the others think before ya go gettin' yer self in trouble? Is having Dread or someone else tryn' figure out what could cause this really gonna kill ya?"
"I'll bet this happened when those slaves were getting out of here, man. We're down a long hallway, so I don't think anybody would hear if we just knocked the door down. Once we're in there, we might be able to climb up and get right at the second floor without having to go past more of their traps."
For f**ks sake, if you all wanna rush in an get killed then who am I to stop ya! I'm sorry I suggest we think before we act but then again you're all happy enough to let us go in first, so fine!"
Ogre ferociously attempts to open the door with all his strength. The longer it takes the more angry his gets until either he or the door breaks.

Elwita prepares herself for the unknown beyond the door... but is equally ready to help Ogre take the door down, if needed.
Karraway keeps his eyes and ears alert for danger as the frontline party members do their thing.

Ogre in a rage, rips the handle clear off the door, sending splinters flying. This, of course causes him more consternation...
PM sent. Once that person is able to read it and respond, I'll respond. As usual I hope to get back in during the weekend, but it isn't likely. It'd make my weekend more fun though, so I'll try! Otherwise, see everyone Monday morn!

After ripping the door handle off with east, in a manner fitting his nickname, Ogre puts his shoulder to the door to knock it down.
The door shatters into splinters. And Ogre, a bit dazed, ends up inside the room. At that moment there is a glibbering and meeping of many creatures. Nine or ten emaciated humanish creatures, with sharp teeth and long dagger like fingernails jump from above, attacking Ogre and cutting him off from the hallway. A few face the door (and you) and a few attack Ogre. The stench becomes quite overwhelming.
They will attack Ogre first. Then we'll roll inititative. Blodgett, Elwita and Freda can attack in Round 1 as long as two of you is willing to step into the room. The rest can rush into the room to attack, use missile weapons (remembering Ogre and whoever rushes into the room become viable targets) or spells.
Ogre needs to roll a save vs. Poison. I'll resolve later, hopefully before Monday, but this at least gives everyone a chance to state their actions after the Surprise Round.

Elwita forces her way into the room, fully prepared to bludgeon one of these creatures with her hammer. If at all possible, Elwita will try to avoid blocking the entrance to the room when she enters herself.
ooc: Does Elwita recognize these creatures as being orc, half-orc, goblin or hob-goblin?
Elwita can get in no worries and position herself to the north of the door.

Definitely not any of these creatures. These things are much more creepy and stink of rotting flesh.
BTW if I don't get attacks from all for the first round I will just resolve the surprise round. This is a double attack round for the single class fighter types in their specialized weapons. Which means they attack first and last, regardless of initiative. Unless of course the creatures have multiple attack routines, then Initiative matters.

Eljayess snickers a little when Ogre takes the bull by the horn so to speak. As she is next to him, she gives some room as the hulk throws his shoulder into the door. With a practiced movement, she enters the room close behind him, but in a much more controlled fashion, taking a couple steps into the room and peeling off to the side, clearing the doorway. Standing at the ready, she is surprised to see foes drop from the ceiling. As there are now creatures between her and Ogre, she stabs out with her spear, looking to skewer one.
If, being specialized, Elwita is allowed a second attack this round (which I seriously hope she is), the recipient of her second attack is most unfortunate (ooc: natural 20):
OCC- I just noticed my own mistake, I clearly wrote that I put down my shield when I sheathed my sword. So when I burst into the room my shield is left against the wall in the hallway. That sucks but it is definately in character!
I would like to revise my actions a bit then.
Roll vs poison
Ogre's stat -Death, Paralysis, Poison: 11
Ogre lets loose a stream of curses as he tries to shove away anything close to him as he draws his sword. "THIS IS WHY YOU WE TRY TO BE SMART YOU BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!"
Once drawn he will attack at the nearest target.
Feeling quite sure these things are risen dead, Phanstern knows his illusions will be useless against them. Muttering "why must he always go into the room instead of just breaking the door down?" he tries his best to toss Ogre's shield to a spot in the room where the hulking warrior can grab it.
