Ok. If I am understanding the situation correctly, Therkis and Themson are in the Lever Room. The trap door in the ceiling is currently open.
I will do whatever I can to make sure that Orjon does not come into the Lever Room and that he stays on the other side of the misty portal.
Once in the Lever Room, I will use my Slippers of Spider Climbing to access the Trap Door in the ceiling. I will then get out my rope, hammer, and a piton, and secure one end of the rope to the wall in the little room in the ceiling. I will then drop the rope to the floor and climb down the rope. Next, I will ask Themson to climb the rope and try to get into the escape corridor that I discovered.
I will wait for all of these things to occur before I give you my next instructions.
Good. Therkis climbs up the rope and secures himself at the opening of the ceiling trap door. Using his MAGE HAND, Therkis pulls all of the Levers to the down position. Once the floor opens up, I will shout down at Leif and listen for a response.
Eron, Greyhawk: Tides of War. Leif, Tomb of Horrors. Zinzenzax, Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. Sha-gravis, Heavy is the Head.Chase, mamoduck’s Lost Mine of Phandelver, Atigash Count’s Lament
Leif climbs up and returns to the rest of the party at the misty arch, "Whew that was tragic, poor Darling Rax will probably haunt this place for eternity." Leifthen re initiates his gaze of two minds with Orjon and one with shadows staying in the shadowy corners... "Therkis you have my everlasting gratitude."

Therkis ties enough rope together to reach Leif. Therkis monitors the piton to make sure it is secure. When Leif reaches the trap door, Therkis reaches down to help bring Leif into safety. Therkis then pulls the rope back up and uses his MAGE HAND to move the levers back to the center position. He will remove the piton, separate the ropes, and coil the ropes and store them away.
Therkis will cast LIGHT on the walls of the corridor and lead Leif and Themson back to the mist arch.
Orjon will, when y'all are not in the way, jump down from the ceiling (monk shit stops me from taking fall damage).
"All these puzzles are certainly beyond me, but I am more than happy to help in any way I can. You fellas seem to know what you are doing so i trust you to solve this labyrinth"
As you approach the arch you get a since something is about to happen and you stop short. The Arch comes to life.
The stone archway before you is filled with a veil of thick vapors. The stones on either side of the base and the keystone protrude slightly from the stones around them. As you move to within touching distance, the left-hand base stone begins to glow yellow, the right-hand base stone orange, and the keystone seven feet above blue.
The first go around you activated yellow orange blue
Therkis will ask his partners to stand back while he tries something. Therkis stands about 25 feet from the archway. He asks Themson to stand nearby, so the Rogue can take advantage of the Paladin's Aura of Protection.
Therkis takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Here goes nothing", says the Halfling.
Therkis sends out his MAGE HAND and touches the basestones and keystone in the following order, pausing about a minute to to determine if there are any effects from my actions.
You all walk through the arch as you do the path before you fades and you find yourself in a new room the bath back to the arch gone. The room you are in is smallish just Large enough for the four of you to stand side by side.
There is a gargoyle statue in the center of the room. It has a broken arm that has into the floor and beyond it, there's an opening with a path that leads onwards.
I got 15 to catch, so I failed. I suggest we try to get everyone out of this section and back into the entryway, and try the other way.
Orjon would be in the tunnel if he follows Therkis
Therkis Themson are in the room. Leif is at the bottom of the pit
And I think we lost Harald

All that happens
Good. Therkis climbs up the rope and secures himself at the opening of the ceiling trap door. Using his MAGE HAND, Therkis pulls all of the Levers to the down position. Once the floor opens up, I will shout down at Leif and listen for a response.
Leif quickly responds, “Here, and thanks! Do you have a rope?"

Go ahead an RP. Getting out. Y'all solved this trap y'all can be back at the Mist Arch if you like
Leif climbs up and returns to the rest of the party at the misty arch, "Whew that was tragic, poor Darling Rax will probably haunt this place for eternity."

"I think that should be all we dabble with that arch. You said there were more paths unexplored along the other way?"
((I agree we should dabble with the mist arch. It must be some kind of puzzle, like the lever room. Does someone else want to take point on this?))
Orjon will, when y'all are not in the way, jump down from the ceiling (monk shit stops me from taking fall damage).
"All these puzzles are certainly beyond me, but I am more than happy to help in any way I can. You fellas seem to know what you are doing so i trust you to solve this labyrinth"
((DM, it has been a while, so can you please describe the mist portal one more time))
The first go around you activated yellow orange blue

YELLOW, BLUE, ORANGE
BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE
BLUE, ORANGE, YELLOW
ORANGE, YELLOW, BLUE
ORANGE, BLUE, YELLOW
As you active yellow blue orange the mist disappears revealing a path that goes east
Therkis turns to face his partners and grins.
“Shall we continue?”
"Yes, let us."
You all walk through the arch as you do the path before you fades and you find yourself in a new room the bath back to the arch gone. The room you are in is smallish just Large enough for the four of you to stand side by side.
