Echo makes an impressive noise as a secret passage is revealed. "Sure! I got it!" She stands up from where she was aimlessly inspecting the various structures in the room, and uses her mage hand to hold the lighted rope in front of the group as they traverse the passage. Echo follows behind Khessa shortly after, once again excited to explore a new space.
Rel starts to examine other parts of the large temple room for secrets, but quickly follows Echo and Khessa as they use their Mage Hand, Light and rope technique to proceed down the secret southern passageway, gesturing at Jasper to come back from the foyer and join them.
So strange that I am inviting company from a surface elf. Honestly he seems nice, though a little on the quiet side... and as for Khessa Cabbagefield's hypothetical of ending up in the belly of a hungry monster, I should really explain to her that oozes like these do not have actual bellies in which creatures they eat could end up whole. Instead, oozes dissolve their prey, consuming them through dissolution and diffusion into their slime at a level of fine particles too small to see and...
Rel's thoughts trail off as she realizes that Khessa had just been making a joke. Roywyn would always tease me for taking things so literally...Rel shakes her head ruefully at herself and continues following.
Jasper graciously accepted Rel’s gesture and joins the group in the alter room. Giving the wall a quick look as he passes by.
“Khessa…” Jasper softly calls out. “Please come here and I’ll help your eyes see.” Jasper reaches up to Khessa’s face and whispers a few words. Jasper’s eyes have a light glow and the glow seems to extend up to Khessa’s eyes. Khessa’s eyes glow briefly and to Khessa, the room begins to dimly light up.(Khessa now has darkvision for 1 hour and 150 feet.

...“Khessa…” Jasper softly calls out. “Please come here and I’ll help your eyes see.” Jasper reaches up to Khessa’s face and whispers a few words. Jasper’s eyes have a light glow and the glow seems to extend up to Khessa’s eyes. Khessa’s eyes glow briefly and to Khessa, the room begins to dimly light up.(Khessa now has darkvision for 1 hour and 150 feet.
Khessa opens her blue eyes wide in wonder, looking around for a few moments, her mouth open.
'So this is how Echo sees the night? And Jasper too? it's really... seen like that... it's not that scary. It is no longer threatening darkness, it is almost... peaceful'.
"Thanks Jasper!" she hugs him for a moment, before she even realizes what she's doing, and she kisses him on the cheek "It's really... it's something else, seen like this!" now she has regained control, but it is clear that for her seeing the night with new eyes is an incredibly exciting experience. "I have no words".
After that, the blonde arcane warrior remembers she was just talking about possible dangers lurking... and tries to focus again on protecting her companions from possible threats.
With darkvision and the light from the mage hand, you are able to see that the corridor goes south before turning eastward. As you travel down the corridor further, you notice a side passage that leads north, presumably back to the main temple chamber. At the far end of the eastward corridor, there is a door.
Rel maintains her silence for stealth. But she makes a mental note that if the side passage to the left leads back north to the main temple room, then since it seems symmetrical, it may be worth checking on the exact opposite side - the far north wall of the main temple room for a similar passageway. (Which she tells the group about as soon as they are no longer being stealthy.)
Jasper seems to be really distracted. Thinking about his sisters and not knowing where they are is very troubling. But really this is not what he is thinking. That sudden hug and kiss from Khessa was very unexpected. Been a long time since he’s felt any affection from anyone…
Clearing his throat…”Anyone find anything?”

Khessa then opens the door, greatsword in hand, ready for everything. She is still galvanized by the new way of seeing Jasper has given her and looks around with determination and confidence.
'He was really nice!' she finds herself thinking the blonde arcane warrior about the elf 'And it's not even the first time! He has always been like this, he was immediately; she even gave me this beautiful moonstone almost as soon as we met...'
The tall warrior-mage feels the gem in contact with her skin, on her person, where she usually keeps it hidden. She feels this like a reassuring contact, now that she thinks about it; Jasper always seems to be able to find a way to give her a sense of serenity.

Khessa is curious about the north passage. She tries to discover if there is a secret or concealed door that leads to the jellies room.
Perception: 11 (+1 if it was Investigation instead).
Jasper does a walk around the main chamber looking for hidden doors.

Great! Khessa tries pushing it like the dwarves did expecting a passage for the room to open. It might not be very useful, but she is just curious.
It opens with a grinding of mechanisms revealing the main chamber where you fought the ochre jellies.

"I wonder how many secret passages there will be here inside... we already found two of them!" says Khessa, more to herself than to the others.
"Very well, let's try the door then" she goes to the door and tries to listen to eventual noises.

You don't hear anything on the other side.

Khessa tries to sesrch the room, looking for... whatever: clues about what it was, lurking monsters, things among the rubble...
