If Eugene was a less impulsive creature he may have stopped to listen to Miss Cramming as she read the runes aloud. As it was, however, he was pretty distracted trying not to fall through the rickety bridge, and so didn't hear much, if any, of what forewarned in the runes.

When his feet found solid ground again, Eugene turned in triumph to the rest of the group. "Oy, there's a door over here!' He called, looking back at the group with a bit of a goofy grin on his face. At least they knew the bridge wasn't too rotted to hold weight.
