Kerith, with rapier and lantern in hand, rounds the corner of the room. Remembering his experiences with vermin in the city, he speaks a word of warning:
"Centipedes! Be careful, they are poisonous! If anyone else has a torch, now would be a good time to light it!"
Kerith will take a step back into the hallway, so as to constrict the centipedes into the doorway if they attack. Kerith will fight defensively, attempting to slash anything that is a threat to him, but otherwise, will not advance on the centipedes in the room.
