When no answer comes from Baeril's question, Carolina also steps through the door, crossbow at the ready.

Thorg smiles as the rat settles into the sling. "I need to find some cheese," he thinks aloud.
Only after the rat has been taken care of, does Thorg notice the incoming water, the open door, and the darkness inside. "That looks very black to me," he says, "Maybe we should bring a light." He turns to one of the rods on the wall, near the open door, and gives it a good, hard tug.

"Well, this will be an adventure," Baeril grins as he waits on Thorg and then follows him through the portal.

Jerolan:
[SBLOCK] The orcs watch Jerolan without saying a word for so long he begins to wonder if he should switch to Infernal. Before he does so, though, the orcs begin to chuckle, and one of them speaks in broken Common. "You'll see," he says. This elicits more laughter from the group, which soon devolves into coughing.[/SBLOCK]
After tugging on the glowing rod repeatedly without it giving way, Thorg joins his companions in the room on the other side of the door. Carolina can see little but the faint glow of Jerolan's flaming dagger in the distance, while Baeril can see that the light illuminates four humanoid figures, one of whom is Jerolan.
Thorg and Aswan, gifted with better vision than their compatriots, can see that there are two closed doors across from the one they just entered through -- these doors are sized like those in human dwellings, however. Thorg also recognizes the three people with Jerolan as orcs.
OOC:[SBLOCK]Thorg Strength checks: 2+3; 13+3; 1+3; 7+3; 7+3. Aswan Spot check: 1+8; Baeril Spot check: 13+0; Thorg spot check 15+3. It's too dark for Carolina to make a spot check at this distance.[/SBLOCK]

"Hello, there! Don't mind us dropping in -- we didn't have much choice." Baeril snaps his fingers, calling upon his gnomish heritage to conjure up a glowing ball of greenish-yellow light that wobbles towards Jerolan and the other figures and he follows, smiling, but his walking stick in his hand.

The orcs grimace and snarl in the face of Baeril's dancing lights, but take no action.
"Water?" the apparent leader grunts in Common. "Look there." Thanks to the light from the dagger and that from Baeril's spell, even those with only normal eyesight can (just barely) make out the fact that the door through which they entered is swinging shut.
When the door closes completely, the orcs begin to laugh, a sound that rattles with phlegm. "No way out," the leader says. "We go through doors. Stay here now." He then adds something in Orcish to Thorg.
Thorg:
[SBLOCK]"Were you with us, halfblood?" the orc asks. "Orghar would not be happy to see you with scaly ones." He indicates Aswan.[/SBLOCK]

Thorg listens a moment, cocks his head and replies in Orcish.
Kafkonia:
[sblock]"Him? No, he is not a scaly one. He is a toad-man. He jumps really well. He's just bumpy. I don't like the scaly ones, either. They are mean and make bad jokes. The little ones are good at fighting scaly ones, and the toad-man can smack them. Let's go keep the scaly ones away!"[/sblock]
To emphasize his point, Thorg grins widely and pulls out his spear.

Seeing Thorg pull out his spear, Carolina instinctively raises her crossbow toward the orcs with her finger on the trigger. She'll fire at the first sign of (what she perceives as) aggression.
