I realise it's an out of print game, but we've only just gotten around to playing it and I can't work out where else I'd ask. (Here's hoping there's some 1st Ed veterans here.)
Can familiars (the Heroes have Boggs the Rat following them around) enter the water bits?
The card mentions Heroes and Monsters and familiars are neither.
I was thinking no, as the pit at the end of the stream can't kill the little sod, either.
Edited by Col. OrangeYou might be able to find people on BGG for this question if you can't get a response from here.

Familiars cannot move into the water (stream). The Special Rules for this Dungeon specify that "... Heroes (but not monsters) may move into ...". Familiars are not Heroes.
And just to set your mind more at ease that this ruling is correct, it was asked of Kevin Wilson (the designer of the game) back when my group was playing RTL everyday. I was almost always the OL, and the heroes wanted their familiars to be able to move through it. I insisted this was not correct, and to make them feel better, we addressed the question to Kevin.
Ta!
