A minute passes as Caster’s eyes look beyond and around reality. He witnesses many paths, and many destinations, and many times, and many places. However, ultimately, a singular path is found. Your destination lies approximately half a mile beneath you. If you would like to follow that path, which is currently “Caster, The Compass Class Heroic Spirit,” you may do so.
Therefore, it is decided amongst you all to enter the club. The front door, while locked, is nothing before Thorcules’ hefty boot. The door goes sailing down the venue as it is ripped from its hinges. Inside, you see that the area is as you would expect it: gauche couches, bars, dance floors, and a few vip areas. However, it is clear at this hour in the day, it is much too early for this club to be open. As such, it is totally empty. What would normally be somewhat confusing to look through is made child’s play by Caster’s clairvoyant prowess. The team is lead to what seems like a dead end. However, due to the insight of Caster, it is clear that a secret door has been built into the floorboards. Assassin, you sense a trap beneath the trapdoor.
Assassin suddenly appears and points at the trapped ground. "Um... definitely don't walk there. Its trapped." And whenever Caster chimes in about there being a door in the same spot, she will nod and say, "I'll take care of this trap... I'm... pretty good at that."She will then attempt to undo the trap in whatever way it needs undoing.

Assassin’s umbrella materializes in her hand. She makes four sharp jabs to the corners of the trapdoor and then, with a spin, strikes both small glyphs on the side. There is a brief expulsion of a sulfurous odor, but nothing comes of it. The trap is disabled.

Imani slaps Dream with a quick hi-five and squints into the hole. Looking around at her companions, she sighs heavily. "Alright, I guess this part is on me."
Glancing at Virgil on her shoulder, she mutters, "Got a light?" Virgil touches a little webbed foot to her forehead and suddenly an arcane pathway is made clear to her. She closes her eyes, focuses her magic, and when her eyes open again they shine with a soft violet glow.
[Ghostly gaze! As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have darkvision if you don’t already have it. This special sight lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). During that time, you perceive objects as ghostly, transparent images]
She looks around in surprise and delight. "Nice!"
(Anything jumping out at her, DM? Either around the room or through the trap door?)
You see that below the trapdoor is a ladder going down about 30 ft into complete darkness. Your ghostly gaze can just barely see the bottom of it, which seems to be a flat, stone floor in a corridor.

You see that below the trapdoor is a ladder going down about 30 ft into complete darkness. Your ghostly gaze can just barely see the bottom of it, which seems to be a flat, stone floor in a corridor.
(There's no such thing as complete darkness to ghost gaze! Plus I can see through the floorboards. What else can I see?)
Imani slides down, seeing nothing but solid rocks in the walls for the duration of her trip down. As she reaches the bottom, she can see to the left of her, about thirty feet to the side, are what seems like sewer systems. It would appear that these catacombs seem to run beneath it. Meanwhile, the flat area that you landed at slopes down even further in what seems to be a long, stone-bricked tunnel. Caster’s arcane eye sees much of the same, albeit without the X-Ray vision.
Thorcules takes Assassin’s suggestion and enters spirit form to drop down to the area. He reaches a few feet above the floor before spontaneously reappearing in material form and dropping onto his arms and knees. Veins strain all along his body as he cries out in pain, taking 19 necrotic damage. He coughs up blood and slams his fist into the floor (14). There’s a ripple of mana in the air out from his fist as translucent panes of light appear on the wall and shatter.
Thorcules struggles to his feet as dark, furred, iron armor materializes on his body. An iron helm with a broad nose guard appears on his head, barely containing his thick tousles of hair, and roars, “ALLLLLRIGHT! I guess that’s how things are playing out!” He cools for a moment, “It seems Berserker’s master is well prepared.”
Indeed. However, 1) you no longer detect magic down there after Thorcules did his thing, and 2) there is more than 1 foot of stone blocking most of your view down there. If you want to head down, you certainly may.
