Noldeme, Valig, and Nevitash all make a sudden sprint to close the distance between them and the lizardfolk getting just a few feet behind it.
Percy and Void follow in also making a sudden sprint to catch up to the others. Percy lets loose a whirl of flames along the carpet of the floor, dashing to the same distance as the others. Void is just behind Percy reaching out to the lizardfolk with his mage hand but the lizardfolk dodges it in time and cuts around the corner. As you all go around the corner just the same time, you all run into a dead end. A bookhshelf against the wall with two paintings opposite each other on the left and right walls. And a small circular rug in front of the bookshelf.
Boon successfully latches onto the balcony, with great dexterity he climbs all the way up to the balcony. From the top of the balcony he can see over the walls that surround the city. Its a beautiful day, with lots of palm trees and trails of sand in the landscape.
Noldeme scans everything from afar, trying to tell if anything's out of place from a distance. But all the group moving makes her decide it wasn't worth it, so she just sits by the wall close to the corner, waiting to see if anyone else would find anything.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing her opportunate position, she also scans the corridor they were in before, searching to see if she can find any hint to the lizardfolk's position, or anything suspicious.
Noldeme looks into the big hall they were just in and all she can see is the rug currently burning in flames from Percy's bolt.
After everyone investigates the dead end, not finding anything but books in the bookshelf, nothing hidden behind the paintings but are now crooked, and no hidden levers. Valig does notice that there is a part of the rug that is pitch black. It's a carved out hole underneath the rug!
Boon looks out and spots the lizardfolk already running outside towards a river in the distance. As Boon runs inside he finds a stair case that leads down.
Noldeme looks at the fire, hazed initially, but then she notices the problem there, as she doesn't even turn to the group, but asks them over her shoulder.
"Hey, guys... Don't you think we should take out the fire first, before leaving? We don't want to let the whole castle burn..."
Noldeme helps to take out the flames, with her boots, since she has nothing better, and then asks the group, seeing as she has yet to notice the hole."Hm, so you already know how the Lizardfolk escaped? I wonder if she can teleport when she touches the fire or something."
Noldeme and Nevitash successfully put out the flames, following along after Valig and avoid down the hole they go entering a dug our tunnel that you all assume leads outside the city. Void confirms with his mage hand that there are no traps from the distance he reaches.
Boon takes the spiral stairs down into a long hallway similar to the one Percy went.
(OOC I tried to wait for Percy but he must be busy, moving on)

Percy goes to check if anything is behind the paintings, looking for a switch or button.

"Fire is good. Fire pumps through his veins. Fire keeps the ember within him burning hot. Fire makes him powerful."
Valig looks around.
"Oh. That fire. It would probably be best if that were put out."
Valig then hops down the hole.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Boon takes the stairs down, making a mental note of the river.
Nevitash rolls up the rug to try to snuff the flames.
Seeing everyone is already busy with the carpet, void follows Nevitash down the hole, scanning ahead with his mage hand for traps 17

Boon travels down the hallway.
Valig dashes down the tunnel.

Nevitash follows Valig.
Knowing no traps were there (at least initially) void follows down the hole
