You pick up a rock from the ground in front of the doorway and toss it into the darkness. You hear no sound, not even the rock hitting the ground. Fawriel, no longer looking confident, backs away from the doorway and hides behind you.
"See?" L33tz4n says, "there's something wrong with that door. Even if it's not magic, there could be a pit or something hidden in those shadows."
"Or a monster," Fawriel adds.
"No, we would've heard that," L33tz4n responds.
Fawriel tilts his head curiously. "What about a monster in a pit?" he asks.
"That tastes of STONE," Fooruman growls. Another awkward silence ensues. Even the guy with the CD player stops.
