Everyone examines the steps and walls quite closely, so closely in fact that you may not be quite as careful in walking down the stairs as you should be. There are a few old bones, and a couple of slimy spots.
[Every character must make a L1SR on Dexterity. (20–Dex) Each character that misses the saving roll slips and falls down the stairs, taking as many hits in damage, as they missed the saving roll by. You do get adventure points for the saving rolls. Lick your wounds, if you have any, and continue into the mine.]
