I clapp slowly, giving her a sarcastic glare. "Greeeeeeaaaaaaaaat job."

She shoots you a glare. "I said, we're here!" With a series of light taps, she rolls the boulder out of the way, revealing another tunnel though instead of darkness, flaming torches are stuck in rocky niches in the walls. A menacing growl reverberates through the hole, sounding far away, yet so close.

I rolled my eyes. "Not buying it." I perked my ears to try and figure out exactly where this 'growl' was coming from. I'd probably charge towards it just to spite the girl.

You hear her mutter something before striding into the tunnel. After a few minutes of silent walking, you reach a spacious room. Only two torches hang on the walls and a large cage sits in the middle. "You're all on your own now. My job's done." Without a second glance, she runs out of the room, slamming close a heavy wooden door.

I wait for five secounds before gliding over to the door and grasp the handle to open it.

Tha handle remains unmoved. Locked. A low growl sounds from within the cage. "It's no use. You're stuck in here. We're stuck in here. Forever."

"Nope. Not happening." I glanced around. "Any light in here?"

A plume of fire appears from within the cage and lights a pair of torches stuck into the wall. "Happy?" The Thing growls.

I ignore the commet. "Great."

I sweep a quick glance over the room to see if there's any obvious way out.
