"I could probably walk on it for a while, but I don't think it would hold up for long if I had to escape from a room full of pickaxe-wielding reanimated skeletons."
"I feel that our mission is incomplete!" said Viddo, as if his protestation could somehow hasten the healing processes of the wizard's injury. "There were so many secrets left for us to find and I feel it incumbent upon us to return as soon as we are able!"
