Finally, you hear the brainless goblin thrall shuffle up to your door and fumble with the latch…
You focus on the dab of goop and snap your fingers, using the simple, wordless little cantrip that every wizard knows – to ‘light the candle’…
KABOOOOM!
The door explodes in a thundering crash of smoke and splinters. You are knocked off your feet and momentarily dazed by the surprisingly potent reaction. You stagger up and note with gleeful satisfaction that the goblin is charred and motionless on the floor just outside the now doorless frame. You rush over and retrieve the jar of goop, and then carefully but quickly, you exit the room with the dangerous jar held at arms length, not that arms length is anywhere far enough to save you or anyone else within a hundred feet if it goes off! The passage outside extends to your left and right. It is too smoke-filled and dimly lit to see where either direction leads.
