"I think Attalia's right," Gus pulls his shield and spear from his back, "Meepo, you should stay behind us, we need you to navigate this place. The rest of us should crack the door and file through, be prepared for whatever's waiting for us."
He readies his shield and spear, positioning himself next to the door, ready to push through.
"Web, be prepared with some cover fire with that magic o'yours."
An oppressive smell suffuses the air, rising from chewed carcasses of cave rats, smaller vermin, and a few humanoid-looking creatures. The bodies lie upon a floor of filth, old bones, hair, and fur that combine to make a particularly large and vile nest.
As you open the door, you see once more, several giant rats who have heard the door opening and are advancing to attack!
The rat is wounded greatly but is still fighting, this is one of the largest rats you have encountered! but you glance over and see one in the other corner that is even bigger.... and doesn't look quite right...
On his turn, Durthon enters the room, swinging a warhammer at the closest rat and moving towards a side of the door to leave a clean line of sight to his companions.
"I'd say open the door and stand ready but don't attack without looking."

“I agree, let’s open it up and see what faces us”. Weber stands back from the door, stowing his equipment
