Oz also descends down the ladder and immediately sees that this places walls are infused with magic. The air seems to hum a bit as you just look at things. This place is clearly enchanted and, unlike outside, there’s no way that one could possibly permanently turn this off without some insider knowledge. It is also completely dark for you, pitch black. Imani can see fine, but for Oz the normal human, you are blind.

"Whoa! This place has a lot of magic. What's going on here?"
Oz holds up his right palm and pop! A tiny fuzzy spider appears there and hops to the tip of his finger. He holds his finger up and looks through his familiars eyes to see in the dark. "Let's not end up like Virgil, huh Webz?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Imani, freshly coated in demon toad ichor, stands stock still with her hands in the air. Virgil's mind- that constant consciousness in the back of her thoughts- was suddenly and completely gone. It didn't feel as though he had died. It felt very much like the time he had fallen in that artificer's trap; almost as though he had been forced out of this plane of existence. Imani turns toward Oz, eyes still softly burning violet. "Your sympathy is OVERWHELMING, Longbottom. How did you do that? Where did your little spider pun come from?"
She walks down the hallway, assuming the others will follow.
(*Dream- keep your eyes peeled. I don't want to end up like Virg, either.*)
"Pocket dimension. Ya know, where familiars go because they're immortal... didn't you know that? Virgil's not dead. You can bring him back. You can even change what he looks like if you're not into winged toads. It just takes some time after they explode like that. I'll help you with it later." Oz explains this while walking like a drunkard and holding his fuzzy friend aloft to use its keen eyes to see through the dark. "Don't do that!" He scolds as it does a 180 hop on his finger to look behind at the others.

Imani bristles a bit at Oz's easy knowledge and offer to help. As her night vision begins to fail, she stops herself short. "Damn it." She stalks back to the small pile of stone and demon blood and (without stopping to think about the how or the why) gathers the rocks into her bag. "Come along, frog," she growls. "I'm not done with you, yet."
Dream keeps a low profile and stays near the lead, taking advantage of her off-radar presence. She will be checking for traps and potential threats as she moves forward. She gives Thorcules a small nod of appreciation, "Thank you for your sacrifice. It was very manly."

It’s interesting, despite Dream’s constantly closed eyes, she can perceive better than even the best of you. As Dream leads the pack (heh) she can clearly see that the walls somehow prevent servants from passing through them. Meanwhile, the narrow hallways continue for a few minutes before you notice a side shaft, something that would’ve been completely hidden otherwise. Meanwhile, the hall continues to a locked iron and wood door.

"Just so everyone knows, this is a trap..." Oz smacks his lips and looks between everyone through his spider's eyes. "Right then. Age before beauty." He does a dramatic bow toward Hunkules.

The sparrow sighs. If sparrows could do that. Then transforms into sparrow-girl Sarai. She puts her goggles on. “We should explore this side shaft. It could be the owners’ way past the traps.”

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
Matthias and Thorcules are momentarily taken aback by the sudden bird person. However, recovering after a moment of suspicion, Matthias speaks up, “Well, now that we have all the cards on the table,” He looks pointedly to Imani, “I assume, that is.” He turns to Thorcules, “Lancer, lead on down the side path.”
Lancer nods and continues into the side path, where I assume you all follow, yes?

Imani shrugs. "Mathias, meet Sarai. Sarai, meet Mathias I-have-a-stick-permanently-wedged-somewhere Berg IV." She smiles, not unkindly. "Truth be told, Mat, it slipped my mind. I'm not built for secrets."
Sarai nods in the direction of the Berg heir. "Servants first," she says to Thorcules as she draws her cloak about her, shifting where it appears that she is standing.

Matthias follows after Lancer down the side path. It occurs to you that this hidden side path was likely designed to either allow whatever lived here to ambush any creatures waiting at the door, as it was positioned in such a way that only those with superior vision could even see it. Nevertheless, the hall remains dark. As you continue further and toward what you believe is the end of this curved side-path, you hear a sickening squelch beneath your boots as the smell of rusting iron assails your nose.

For what it is worth, Sarai is also unable to see in the dark. And in sparrow form, she can’t wear her goggles of night.

You also see the same slope that goes downward 30 ft into the passage.

It is indeed similar. However, these seem to be more baked into the walls, rather than the field outside, or even the field that Thorcules shattered.
