The floor is not illusory, but there seems to be something very slippery on it. The copper accelerates rapidly down the slight incline and tumbles into the pit.
Yuno comments, "AHAHAHA! What a devious trap! I was thinking of jumping over the pit to get to the other side. Would've been made a really hole-y woman! AHAHAHAHAH! Really wish I could see this thing in action but being in volcano while it explodes is not a very cinematic way to go."
"How to get to the door? I have no means of flight, at least nothing that we could all use." Rowan thinks for a while. Suddenly a winged cat appears on his head. "I could send my familiar, Misty, over to the other side. Misty, would you go across and look at the door please?"
Misty meows and does a loop while flying to the other side.
OOC: Does the hallway go [current location -> pit -> platform with door] or something else?
The door could be reached with a long jump. You would certainly have no trouble building up speed, but the consequences of failure would be high: Misty's innate ability to detect poison picks up on a powerful substance coating the spikes in the pit. Rope and pitons could also be useful if you aren't scarred from your last attempt at crossing a gap.
As you are considering all this, you pick up on the sound of splashing footsteps. A large group is coming down the hall with the pit trap, just out of your sight.
"Seems like we have company," Dennis muttered, propping his spellbook open. "Yuno, if they're friendly, I'd like you to try and cross the gap. You're the most athletic of us, as far as I can tell. If they're not... Go have fun." The wizard's eyes seemed to have been drained of all life, leaving behind a colder exterior. "But try to leave them in one piece."
[OOC: Nothing on the investigation check? Is it just a pit of poisoned spikes? Also, prepping fire bolt if the group around the corner is openly hostile.]
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yuno looks at the pit and says, "I have an idea. Let's try to find a good place to hide and let them figure out what to do about the pit. If they find a way, good for us. If they don't, I get to watch the spike pit in action." Yuno grins evilly and attempts to hide. Stealth: 7
Alexandria stares at Yuno’s attempt to hide, holding back laughter. “That’s good, yeah, totally stealthy.”
She stares down the hallway where the foot steps could be heard. “Let me try something...”
She walked forward just enough to get into the more narrow part of the entrance and casts minor illusion. The illusion she casts looks just like a regular rocky surface at an attempt for who ever is coming to be fooled into thinking it’s a dead end.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A shambling group of Ghouls wearing tattered adventuring gear rounds the corner. Their armor glows bright red from the metal-heating hall, but their desiccated flesh is unaffected by the heat.
Investigation Check: 2
They are so oblivious that for a moment you fear they will blunder straight into your illusory wall, but they turn left and stare dumbly at the pit. Trudging slowly, they aren't at a risk of sliding in unless they are acted upon by an outside force.
Glancing around at the rest of the party, Dennis shrugged. "So... Do you guys want to push them in and make a bridge, or...?" he whispered, indicating the ghouls. As they drew closer, he moved a hand over his mouth, stifling a wave of vomit. "Dead bodies. Forgot they're dead bodies. Still got flesh. Not good." Dennis moved his spellbook aside, attempting to keep his spells out of the way of his potential wave of bile.
[Anyone who looks at Dennis' spellbook would notice necromatic symbols written on the pages.]
Yuno is signalling to the others to let whatever happens happen. She wants to see if the Ghouls just jump into the pit or if there is some way across that the party doesn't know about.
Alexandrias lips thinned as she intently watched the ghouls. “I think we need to push them... Anyone have a mage hand?” She whispers, turning to the two other casters, but soon she turned back to watch the ghouls again. ”Unless they know something we don’t.”

One of the ghouls throws a rock at the wall on the far side of the pit. Whatever it hits gives a click, and the 7 ft tall door lowers over the pit to form a sort of drawbridge. The ghouls start across it in single file.
You don't remember seeing you guide Embry join you, but he take this moment to make himself heard.
"Oi, I think I have just the thing for this." He pulls from his pack what looks to be a dwarf-sized toboggan.
“You’ve gotta be shitting me.” Alexandria deadpans lowly. “Bested by ghouls...”
She sighs and waits for the ghouls to cross before dropping the illusion. “Alright, I don’t know where you came from but who wants to go first on the toboggan?”

"Where did you come from?" Rowan jumps startled at the sudden appearance of Embry. He then sighs, "What is your plan? The whatever it is, we need to get moving."
He thinks to himself, "Is nothing as it seems here?"
More preoccupied with trying not to vomit, Dennis waved his hand towards Embry by way of greeting before letting loose a wave of bile into the spike pit. "Some wizard I'm supposed to be, flinching at the sight of dead bodies..." he muttered before standing up and addressing Yuno. "Could you throw some rope and pitons back over when you get to the other side? I'd like to have something to serve as a handrail."

Yuno says, "Me! I'll go first." She seems quite eager.
"Where did you come from?" Rowan jumps startled at the sudden appearance of Embry. He then sighs, "What is your plan? The whatever it is, we need to get moving."

"Could you throw some rope and pitons back over when you get to the other side? I'd like to have something to serve as a handrail."
Yuno responds, "I only have rope; no pistons."
The ghouls aren't paying attention to your preparations and their perception isn't high enough to hear your whispers, but if you do anything noisy...
A few of the ghouls have crossed the miniature drawbridge and are waiting on the other side.
Yuno will tries to locate the switch that lowered the draw bridge without moving away from her hiding place. 16
If I have inspiration, I want to add a d6 to the roll. 2
