Quintin moves from the opening back to the bottom of the stair and gets ready to chop whatever has gotten behind them.

Snorldrab turns towards the stairs and gets ready to act if need be.
Thanks for the hp.

RAW your HP is correct. Shadowdark does not start with max HP; but in the interest of PbP, I am going to run with max at 1st level. So everyone please change your character sheets to have max hp for this level only.
Looking down into the cave, Quintin sees there are rough-hewn stairs leading down into a passageway. The passage leads to the west about 15 feet before the walls shift blocking the light from the torches. At the doors, Snorldrab sees the southern door is not locked per se, there is a rusting iron bar on this side of the door keeping it locked. The northern door does not appear to be locked either however it's age and the mildew of this area has caused the wood of the door to swell making the door difficult to open.
Coming from the stairway behind you, you hear the sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs you have recently vacated....
Thanks for the HP

Ern
Emerging into view, the small figure wearing a worn and patched hooded cloak stops and pulls back the hood. A grubby Halfling girl takes in the sight with a pair of guarded eyes. She is holding her crossbow casually yet ready to use in an instant.
”You fellas weren’t far ahead at all. The owner back yonder told me to hurry and join ya’ll. Ern’s me name,” she states.

"Well, I suppose it could have been much worse. Welcome Ern."

Oggdrab can't hold a nervous laugh. "Welcom, Ern. It seems this guy, Antero, is very lucky, having so many people ready to help him at once when he needs it! What would be your specialty?"

Glancing back behind him and seeing the others take up positions, only makes him stay where he is. What if something comes up from the shadows? Who will protect his companions?

Quintin lowers his sword on seeing the halfling. He turns to the group and says How about the stuck door? That one is keeping something behind it. He points to the door with the bar.

Lowered his weapon when he noticed no threat was forthcoming - "Blaghrog" - he nodded, introducing himself.

Sorry all, it's been a busy week.
What path do you all wish to take? There is the blocked door, the rough hewn passage, or the swollen door.

Someone give me a hand with this door. I think we are going to have to put a foot into it. Quintin says as he lines up at the door.

Snorldrab will back up Quintin as he tries to open the door.

I'm not even sure where we are
Nolthar will continue to hold his position (since he didn't move) and back up whoever is opening a door.

+3 Str is 13

Acting together, Quintin and Snorldrab are able to shoulder the door open on their first attempt. Bring the torches around to see into the room they spy dusty and decaying instruments of torture; betraying this room’s original purpose. A bench laden with clamps, knives and instruments of torture stands against the north and south walls of this chamber. Another bench—sinisterly stained and fitted with manacles— stands in the center of the room. An open hallway leads out of this gallery of pain on the opposite side.

Oggdrab slowly enters the room, his torch high. "What is this place? I guess Antero wasn't expecting to find something like that in his basement..." he says, at the same time amazed and worried. On the lookout, he starts searching the place for items of interest or clues.

Quintin shakes his head. Not a nice place. Would not want this in my basement. He then moves to the hall and stands guard.

"Torture chamber, nasty. Lets keep moving."
She does a quick search of the room as she moves to the hallway exit.

Nolthar moves into the room, trying not to react to the torture chamber; but he can't help it as a shudder runs through him.
"Perhaps...he does know about it and we are next in line," he mutters, eager to be out of here.
