Jerek leaps over the wall after the others and tries to drop one of the fleeing goblins.
[OOC: If possible, I want to jump over the wall and shoot one of the goblins trying to escape. Choose whichever target is clear of cover (if either). I realize I might not have time to do this, but giving it a try. Regardless, Jerek is staying with the light, wherever it goes.

Kuma races after the goblin to the north, disappearing from the rest of the party's view almost instantly, as they take a few moments to once more climb over the barricade before chasing after Kuma. Jerek, seeing how the others are slowed by the barricade, and that Kuma is already out of sight chasing the north-running goblin, decides to jump it instead--and succeeds! He moves into position so that he can see the goblin running through the western room, if dimly; once again, Heirmund's light is being taxed to its limits. He lines up his shot, releases his arrow--and misses, the arrow bouncing off the stone between the goblin's legs just as it reaches the far door of the room. The goblin shoulders the already-loose door wide open and flees into a dimly-lit, smokey room, quickly angling out of Jerek's narrow line of sight between two doorways.
((Jerek's jump check: 16+0=16. Attack: 7+3=10.))
Kuma finds himself in even darker circumstances. However, he's also only in the corridor Lehko glimpsed yesterday and described to the rest of you, and Kuma can still see his enemy, if just barely. He reaches the fleeing goblin just as the goblin reaches the closed door at the far end of the hall. There's no way the goblin can get the door open in time. Or at least, there wouldn't have been--if the ground hadn't opened up beneath Kuma's feet. Jair and Ydyr are both just entering the hallway and vaguely see Kuma's dim, large shape simply vanish.
In an instant, Kuma goes from swinging his sword triumphantly at the goblin, to falling into utter blackness. He doesn't fall far before striking the ground, but he is now utterly blind, the only light he can see being a very pale twilight that is far too far away to illuminate anything in this pit.
((Kuma's reflex save: 5+2=7. Falling damage: 2.))

Lehko keeps close to the wall, and attempts to get past or scramble over it, readying his sling once more. If he can, he'll take a shot at the fleeing goblin, but if not he'll move down the hallway twords the door, aiding Kuma if he comes accross the pit before the others.

Bloody, burning goblins and their traps, Kuma thought irritably as he looked up. The fall hadn't been much, less than a sprain really...but getting back out might be tricky in the dark.
"Watch out for the pit!" he called...then paused, and added, red-faced, "And...bring some rope!"
Unable to wait for the rope though, he immediately started feeling the masonry of the walls for hand and footholds that might bear his weight.
(Gonna try to Climb out without help until help arrives)

Kuma can hear the goblin opening the door above him, and getting away. --Or...maybe not. After a few moments of noise, the goblin begins pounding on the door, calling out in his own tongue, panic in his voice. Apparently, he can't get the door open...
As Heirmund, now past the barricade, brings the lantern past them, Lehko and Jerek can see that the goblin that fled due west is gone from sight. Heirmund reaches the hallway to the north, allowing Ydyr and Jair clear view of the northern hallway. The goblin, seeing the light grow behind him, turns and braces his back against the door, holding his morningstar shakily out before him.
As Ydyr and Jair approach, Terrek tense and growling just behind them, Kuma finds he can now at least see his pit. He's only ten feet or so down, and while the walls are smooth, they're also mostly of packed earth. There is a one-foot-wide walkway along one side that allows access to the door, and the goblin stands before the door on the other side of the pit.
Kuma tries to climb out, but he can't find sufficient hand and foot holds to do so. Ydyr gets a rope ready to toss down to him, as Jerek and Lehko join Heirmund at the far end of the hall.
