"Don't judge me." says Lladnar not looking away from his magazine.

"We aren't stuck here. We're only here when we are needed. This room isn't anchored to time or space." responds Etnad.

"Listen to the Dr. Who talk coming from Etnad."

Richard opens the door and sees a curtain of inky black darkness. It doesn't flow in past the doorway, and it almost looks solid... almost.

Richard pulls out his newly purchased Everburning Torch and lights it. He steps closer to the entrance to see what lays beyond. He also pulls out one of his crossbow bolts ans waves it in the inky black darkness.

im on holiday until the 27th, so I may not reply as the mobile coverage is dire

In that case, I'll probably put off your introduction until you get back. Bring you in after the 27th.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" Richard examines the vial. "I guess I'm just supposed to walk through here on blind faith? Any last minute words of Wisdom?"
