Alten picks up the rest of his gear and looks over at Rees
At the keep where I grew up, one of the scholars was always quoting different philosophers. Most of his stuff was over my head, but there was one that I always liked - on account of not knowing what had happened to me. He would say 'The past got you to this moment. It does not determie your current choice nor determine where you go, unless you allow it to do so.'
Then he turns and enters the passage behind the others.

Does the rift appear to be big enough for Talien to navigate?
(Sorry missed this question).
The rift is roughly 10 feet across in most sections, but there are some narrow points where the distance closes to 5 feet. As you pass the entrance to area 42 the light behind you begins to fade and as you continue along the tunnel disappears completely.
But, you are not in the darkness for long as it only takes a few minutes to reach the northeastern side of the tunnel which spits you out into a grey stone room. The room is unlit and stands empty, but light spills in through the open doorway. Talien, you spot the wooden door laying on the ground in the room as if it had been battered in and left to rot.
As you enter everyone please make a stealth check.
You want the ones who went in first to make the first stealth checks? Alten would be uncharacteristically farther back in the marching order since he paused speak to Rees

[Was looking for everyone to make a check as you filed into the room. Looks like Meepo is the one who blew it anyway].
Talien, Grom, Arxius, Trick, Corkie, and Rees all enter the room one after the other without making any noise... when Meepo enters however he sniffs the air and then squeeks.. "Meepo smell goblins!" He then backs up and bangs into Alten bumping his plate and causing a din.
Those of you nearest the northern door of this new room hear a coarse, yet squeaky voice say, "EHHhH what was that?!" from out in the hallway.
An older looking dirty goblin wearing a tattered berry stained apron approaches the threshold. His feet and hands also appear to be stained a dark purple. He carries a crate of what looks like unripe blackberries. The goblin squints into the dark and with a raspy voice asks, "Eh? Someone der?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talien, eyes still purple enters the room. Upon seeing the goblin he will pull and throw a dagger with one hand at the goblin, with his other he unsheathes his greatsword.Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Grom's fireball hits the door frame and lights up the room with a quick flash of bright light. Talien's dagger hits the goblin square in the chest. An expression of shock washes over the goblin's face as it looks down, drops what it was carrying, and puts its hands around the dagger... it gasps then falls backwards onto the hard stone ground.
As its body hits the ground you hear a goblin scream, "EEeeeK! Wees bean attack!" The voice appears to come from further down the hallway though you cannot see the goblin from where you stand in the room.

Talien would just be eager to head out as he contemplates life and what he knows.

Rees is just going to stick close to Arxius and follow the group. If Grom wants to take the lead she’s happy to let him.

Arxius prepares an arrow, aiming towards the door. Ready to fire.

Rees will also draw an arrow, aiming toward the door. "Shh, get ready," she whispers.
