This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Hey guys!!! I am pretty sure that this mouth is a portal!" Wreckzors will reach into his pack, light another torch, and toss a light torch inside the mouth to see if it behaves the same way. He will then move closer to the portal to get a better look and investigate the mouth, while making sure not to touch anything.
Perception: used wrong proficiency
Investigation: 11
Perception: 19
OOC: well crap. I tried to just add 2 to the perception roll and it got mad and made it a 1... then I rolled perception again and it rolled a 20. Sorry, I guess you can ignore them both if you want and just use my investigation roll?
OOC: lol, I was looking at the wrong character sheet and only added a +4 instead of a +6 to my first perception roll and then it got mad when I tried to go back and make it a +6 instead of +4 after the roll was done :P I am dumb.
You are unable to hear any noises except the shuffling of your companions in the room. The mouth isnt so much a hole in the wall, as it is just a flat pure black circle.

Investigation of the Torch after he does his experiment: 7
IC: Galdr strolls among the red tiles, leaning on his swagger stick. He pipes to the small knot around the image. “That’s one way to make room for the crocodile head. This icon is foul. No good will come from throwing things into its mouth.”
Galdr pulls a torch from his own satchel, mumbles something in gnomish, which causes the head to kindle. He further whispers in his strange cant and a spectral hand appears. He gives this disembodied hand the torch. He then slowly glides the burning tip into the black circle, inching only the topmost edge in before drawing the torch back for everyone to inspect.
Galdr guides his torch into the whole using his spectral hand. You all see the lit end of the torch slide into the blackness, you can no longer see the flame. When Galdr brings the torch back out, the end of it is gone, as if it had been sliced clean off with a very sharp blade.
"well I may have lost a hand axe, but it looks like I just gained a club." Wreckzors will take the shortened torch (club?) and put it in his pack. "I guess it was good that I didn't try putting my hand through it first then." says Wreckzors scratching his head.
A moment later Wreckzors will turn to Galdr and give him a long stare.... "hey Galdr, why don't you send your bat in... ask the bat to go through and come back. If it does not come back, we know for sure that it is not a portal that we can pass through. " A short pause later Wreckzors will continue " maybe only part of the torch came back because the rest is in another room of this temple... maybe a treasure room!"
Galdr stares at the bipedal turtle for a long moment. He returns to the red tiles on the floor and attempt to decipher the text. “What you are seeing his [i]dysjunction[/i], not teleportation.”
Meanwhile the bat does fly off and sail through the misty archway.
OOC:
Galdr will attempt to use his knowledge of Infernal, Draconic, Gnomish, and Undercommon to piece together what the runes on the floor state.
Galdr- When the bat travels into the hole, any link you may have had to it vanishes. The runes on the floor don't appear to be in any language you have ever seen before, but they seem more and more familiar the more of it you look at.
Wreckzors - You start at the beginning and walk along the path, concentrating on the runes as you go, when you get to the end and you've seen the last one they suddenly make perfect sense to you, its a message reading:
ACERERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION. SO MAKE OF THIS WHATEVER YOU WISH, FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT!
followed by:
Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you’ll discover.
Shun green if you can, but night’s good color is for those of great valor.
If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal you’re well along your march.
Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.
If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you’ll come, and there the throne that’s key and keyed.
The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewer’s eye.
You’ve left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.
Galdr- When the bat travels into the hole, any link you may have had to it vanishes. The runes on the floor don't appear to be in any language you have ever seen before, but they seem more and more familiar the more of it you look at.
OOC: To clarify, Galdr did not send the bat into the demon face. He sent it into the misty archway with the glowing flagstone.
The gnome is also taking his time to study the runes.
Wreckzors Stops at the end of the path and stands for a moment staring off into the distance. A monent later.... "GUYS!!! I KNOW WHAT THE RUNES MEAN!!! I AM THE SMARTEST TORTLE ALIVE!!" Jumping up and down he will run to his companions and proceed to tell hthem everything he knows.
Sorry Galdr, I misread it. Forget what I said about the bat before. This is what happens to the bat.
As the bat approaches the mist it glows again in the same pattern, yellow left, then orange right, then blue Keystone. The bat flies into the mist and it vanishes. You can still feel it's somewhere within the temple. But it's farther away now.
Dm question: are you seeing through its eyes?
Dm note: I'll assume now that Wreckzors told you how to read the floor you can all do it if you want and know everything it says
All of this is above his head so he listens carefully to the tortle's explanation, fully convinced he is the smartest Tortle alive.
"ACERERAK eh? His parents must have really hated him. So an evil arch or something that cuts torches, those are our choices? I miss the crocodiles, but it seems to me the archway would kill us a bit slower and I like breathing. Any other ways out here?"
"Yeah! Here's to the smartest Tortle alive!" Flynt flexes his muscles. "We've got the brains and the brawn, the power of the Moon Lady to withstand whatever this Acererak throws at us."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"Welp, Once everyone is ready, I I think we should probably go through the archway" Wreckzors says calmly. He will walk slowly to the archway and wait for the rest of his companions. Once they have agreed and gathered at the door he will prepare to walk through the door first.

The torch flies into the mouth. The light of it disappears as soon as it passes into the blackness.
/e Hey, no cheating Wreckzors! lol

Flynt walks over to Wreckzors and stares into the mouth of the portal and listens to anything from the other side.

OOC: Fudging Perception rolls. Who knew? ;)
Galdr will draw a torch, cast Prestidigitation to light it and Mage Hand to hold the torch.

The hand swivels to point toward Wreckzors. The gnome asks, “Want to add this to your collection?”

Wreckzors is going to try to look at the runes and the red tiles for quite a while staring at them.
