@ "Hmph, I didn't need his help anyway. I can save the dungeon on my own!"

The ceiling rumbles 
above you!

@ "Oww."

You are hit by a    
boulderI worked the lever well under, and stretched my back; the end
of the stone rose up, and I kicked the fulcrum under.  Then,
when I was going to bear down, I remembered there was
something to get out from below; when I let go of the lever,
the stone would fall again.  I sat down to think, on the root
of the oak tree; and, seeing it stand about the ground, I saw
my way.  It was lucky I had brought a longer lever.  It would
just reach to wedge under the oak root.
Bearing it down so far would have been easy for a heavy man,
but was a hard fight for me.  But this time I meant to do it
if it killed me, because I knew it could be done.  Twice I
got it nearly there, and twice the weight bore it up again;
but when I flung myself on it the third time, I heard in my
ears the sea-sound of Poseidon.  Then I knew this time I
would do it; and so I did.

@ "Oww!"

This doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.

(G)o Team AntThis giant variety of the ordinary ant will fight just as fiercely as its small, distant cousin. Various varieties exist, and they are known and feared for their relentless persecution of their victims.

That's frequently how I feel when there are dwarves on the level.

To elaborate on Fathead's comment, European DST ends on Sunday; US DST will continue for another week, so on-time updates will presumably happen an hour later than usual for that time. This translates to 22:00 UTC at the moment and 23:00 UTC starting on Sunday.
