Peering in the dim light to the north the passage appears to turn east. To the south, the passage continues into the darkness with a divergent passage heading east.
Rethan ties a short length of rope and casts Light on it so the cat will be able to see, then sends it on quick scouting mission to see what is around the corner in each direction.
To the north, Midnightturns east and follows the passage to a sizable room with no apparent exits. A few burned torch stubs and discarded potion bottles suggest that adventurers stop here from time to time, perhaps to rest. The room is otherwise empty.
To the south, the cat can see the passage continues for quite a ways, turning to the east down a second passage further south. The closer passage leads to two closed doors. Turning around, the cat returns to Rethan.
"The north route leads to what looks to be a dead end room, but look slike it could be a good place to use to rest when we need to. South leads to some closed doors, so worth exploring more in that direction.
Titus steps forward and gently pats the bear on the head as he speaks to Morph, "I can go first, few things will get through my shield and armor, and I'm capable of striking back even if they do." He reaches out and opens the door with his shield at the ready.

The door opens to reveal 6 goblins playing with a human skeleton that they have turned into a marionette and dangled from ropes attached to the ceiling to make it dance around the room. The goblins chant “Nimraith! Nimraith! Nimraith!” as it bobs about. Seeing the door open, they stop.
The bear roars with anger as the pain of the arrow sets in.
The bear charges recklessly into the room, barrelling between Titusand Atuanand attacking the goblinson the west side of the room, slashing with its claws and biting with its jaws.
Morphis momentarily stunned by the sudden rush of the bear, but recovers quickly and raises his rod in the direction of the goblinson the east side, letting off a pair of magical beams at two of the goblins.
Bear Move: diagonally south-west, to end between the 2 west side goblins.
Rethan takes a few strikes of his own at the second mirror, trying to shatter it.
Attack: 15 Damage: 11
Extra Attack: 29 Damage: 12
Bonus Attack: 10 Damage: 10
If it shatters, he will warn the others to be on the lookout, then step past to see if the trap is truly disabled. (if not shattered, he won't)
The mirror shatters on his second blow. Passing across the space between the two frames results in... Nothing.
"Well done guys, one less evil in the world to worry about."
Morph turns to look north and then south,
"So which way next? Also..."
Morph looks the bear over,
"...do we get Bear to go first or last? He's kind of big and blocks our view a bit, but he can tank any traps for us. Sorry big guy."
Morph pats the bear, running his hand through the bears fur.
"I don't know if you are a magical construct or a magical summons from another realm, but your sacrifice for our sake is much appreciated."
Morph looks a little conflicted, before letting out a sigh and turning back to his friends.

Rethan:
To the north, Midnight turns east and follows the passage to a sizable room with no apparent exits. A few burned torch stubs and discarded potion bottles suggest that adventurers stop here from time to time, perhaps to rest. The room is otherwise empty.
To the south, the cat can see the passage continues for quite a ways, turning to the east down a second passage further south. The closer passage leads to two closed doors. Turning around, the cat returns to Rethan.
Morph remarks at Rethan's idea to attach a light to Midnight.
"That is an ingenious idea Rethan, I will have to remember it."
When Midnight returns, Morph asks Rethan,
"So which direction should we take?"

"The north route leads to what looks to be a dead end room, but look slike it could be a good place to use to rest when we need to. South leads to some closed doors, so worth exploring more in that direction.
"Right, well lets keep exploring then. Its good to know about the safe spot, if we need it later."
Morph directs to the bear to head south until just beyond the first intersection.
Morph flicks his rod with an arcane utterance, and his eyes begin to faintly glow blue again. (cast Detect Magic)
Morph follows the bear as it heads down the path, keeping his eyes out for any signs of magic, traps or secrets.
Perception check: 7

No magic or dangers are detectable in the dark tunnels. (No new territory explored either.)
"Lets try this first turn, it heads back in the direction we came from, so it cant go vary far."
Morph directs the bear to head east, until the group is at the first door.

Everyone is standing outside the two doors in the passageway.
"Should I knock?" Laniel says.
*Casts guidance for the knock
"Well I'm not keen to be the one who goes first. I'm not as well armoured or martially talented, as the rest of you."
"If someone wants to open the door, I can get Bear to go in, if no one else wants to step through first."
Morph absent-mindedly runs his hands through the bears fur, giving it a pat.
