Jerek gives up his attempt to jam the dagger into the wall, instead stepping back and flinging a dagger at the dire rat--striking it solidly in the shoulder! The rat is still in the fight however, and Jerek now has his back to the wall, below the closing slab of stone that Kuma is bracing. Heirmund casts a spell and a small ball of acid streaks from his hands to strike the rat, burning its other shoulder. With a last agonized squeal, it collapses.
((Jerek's attack: 15+3+1=19. Damage: 2+1=3. Heirmund's attack: 16+2=18. Damage: 2.))
Kuma continues bracing against the slab, and he has definitely succeeded in stopping it, although it keeps trying to close with a nasty grinding noise. The immediate pressure off with the death of the rat, Ydyr moves the rope to a better position, making it as easy as possible for Jerek to climb out.
((Str check: 13+3=16. I will remember the sling in the future, Jair.
)

)Once all pit-goers are safe and out, Kuma releases the pit's stone covering and rolls back away from the gaping maw, nodding at Jerek as he rises. He claps his hands together and flexes his fingers.
"Not much honor fighting rats," he agrees, "Even if they ARE of unusual size. But I'm sure this foul place has thicker meat for our teeth within." He grins eagerly at the thought, and turns to face the door to the tower.
After only a moment to scrutinize the flagstones between himself and the door, Kuma marches over to it and presses his ear to it momentarily.
(OOC - listen check through the door...assuming I get there)

Jerek follows the big man grumbling to himself, "...just bought that knife, too. Really liked it, had the nice wrapping on the handle and...". Arriving at the door, he gets down to the business of determining if it's safe to open while waiting for Kuma's report on noises within.

"Good job everybody."
[ooc is it possible for Jerek to have grabbed his dagger and thrown up Jair's spear (his main melee weapon) now that the immediate pressure is not there. If there was time Jair would call for him to do so and if there was anything like pouches or amulets on the goblins for him to grab those.]
Jair takes a good look at the dead goblins from the edge of the pit as Jerek makes his way out. Particularly about how they died, whether it was from the fall, starvation, or rat attacks.

Jerek quickly retrieves his dagger, and tosses up Jair's spear, before clambering out. As he does so, the slab Kuma is bracing against suddenly stops moving with a loud grinding crrrunch!--almost dumping him down into the pit himself! He pushes himself back up onto the floor--and knocks the slab off its moorings. Jerek suddenly climbs a lot faster, as the slab catches short of falling in, wobbling by a single pivot hinge.
Once out of the pit, Kuma listens at the door while Jerek examines it for traps. Neither notice anything out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, Jair looks down at the bodies in the pit, but from this distance it's impossible to discern details--except that the skeletons are goblinoid and have obviously been there a long time, and the recently dead goblin has been used for a meal. A few times...
