"Elethielle, maybe your eidolon should take the lead? I'm not sure we can sustain another trap like that."

[Cephor]

"That's certainly a sound idea, considering," Riaghan reasoned. He continued while motioning to his backpack, "I am happy to light my lantern to provide some extra illumination for us if you all welcome it."

[DarkOne-Rob]

Philemon looks a bit crestfallen, as he realizes his failure to find the pit trap has had such significant consequences. However, he takes a deep breath and steps back to let the eidolon and summoner take the lead.

[DrK]

Elethielle Ethielle had let out a brief squeak as their poor comrade had plunged out of view. Listening to the others she stroked the eidolon on the head and motioned it forwards, drawing her spear and following it carefully about 10ft behind the four legged hunter she keeps her eyes peeled a joking, "Lets hope we don't find anymore pits eh?"

The hallway continues forward her magically illuminated spear revealing a larger chamber. There is little of note in the room, only the occasional suspicious-looking bone at the edges. A single old wooden door is in the opposite side of the dank chamber.

As Elethielle moves towards the doorway there is a great crash! The door is hurled open and a hulking scar-covered brute creature over 6ft tall steps into the room, roaring threateningly! Another steps alongside it only a touch smaller, this one tattooed with multiple crude bone piercings. It gestures forward at the party, squinting beady eyes at the hated light and urging yet more forward in a high-pitched tongue.

A third pushes past, hurtling into the room to confront the party, dirty blood-stained claws flexing. In appearance the creatures resemble burrowing humanoids, some sort of bestial mole/man hybrid...
