"The light here is... odd. I wouldn't touch it. Now, gently does it! A paw, if you will, my good Squeaker." A light chittering response as Hamdel's familiar, a rather portly rodent, takes the help action to assist his master with squeaks in alarm whenever Hamdel strays too close.
Alta lets out a low growl. "Something is wrong with the forest. Do not step in the light." The aasimar begins carefully picking her way around the sunbeams.
Pale green hues narrow at the sight of the fey creatures as a sneer makes itself apparent on her face. “Bothersome little things...” She would mutter behind her fan. Upon Hamdel’s and Alta’s warnings, Eris tries her best to heed to their advise.

What did that spore say..?
As Dalavash tries to cross one of the beams, he rubs against one, and a massive arboreal fungus releases a cloud of toxic spores in the immediate area. As they exhale the spores, you swear you can hear the word "DDEEAAATHHH..." sighing gently as the cloud releases.
Everyone needs to make a DC12 CON save to avoid taking 12 poison damage.
You can hear giggling and rustling in the woods in all directions, and the sunbeams persist and - unless your eyes deceive you, more sunbeams appear to block your path.
Each one of you make two more DC14 Dex checks to avoid the sunbeams.
Dalavash swears in a most unholy manner (healers learn all sorts of less-savoury language in the course of treating their patients) as he triggers the trap.
Con: 4
Drawing a breath to swear further, he accidentally inhales a mouthful of the toxic spores, swaying as he tries to spit them out. He quickly casts Cure Wounds, healing himself for 9 as he shudders with the pain.
Checking that no-one else is seriously injured, he attempts to move more carefully through the remaining beams, pausing to heal between if needed.
Eris coughs lightly, trying to cover her nose and mouth from the spores all while trying to avoid the rays.

Upon noticing the spores being released, Kitsune immediately blips out of existence, and teleports herself well beyond the current area, avoiding the damage from the spores and further light beams.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A small dark oranged skinned gnomish creature wearing a large oversized red cap over it's head and face barring a huge gaping maw of teeth pops out from the forest floor right next to Kitsune through the corruption.
"DabeeDObeeOpDAP!"it flops and flails around, as if it ran into a spider's web and was trying to frantically brush off an imaginary spider. "Oh!" it says, "Greetings and salivations, you strange dee em trap avoiding freak. It seems like your friends could use a little help in navigating through th- DAP!!!"it suddenly screams sharply and wipes it's cap furiously as if it saw another spider on it. "-this forest unhindered? Sunbeams VERY dangerous. Might I be of assistance boodapDIIIIddily? Can get help!"
It stares up at you anxiously, it's beady eyes blinking independently - creepy - as a torrent of sharp nuts and spores rain down upon the rest of you, inflicting 13 poison damage.

"****. ****. Ow." Seldor says as the nuts bonk him on the head. "First poison spores and now spiky nuts. Kitsune, you seriously need to start talking to some different trees. Or maybe we need to stop taking directions from people who talk to trees. One of those two."
He casts a healing word on himself so that he doesn't immediately ******* die.

"Wh?? Oh, i'm not causing these attacks DapdeEoPiddily." the redcap admits. "Nou nou. It's stupid unicorn, Banrion. Olitor, that's me. Ca- DOUP!!!"He fails wildly again at his red cap, thinking he saw a small spider. "-n help! Can call Mother Stag, she would know what to do. What you say, pinkie flesh? Hm ha?"
"BOPbeepDOOPdillyBaP!!"scats Olitor, screaming into the air, calling someone. There's a moment of peace as you all stand still, waiting for something to happen.
Then, you hear the sound of a singing voice approaching, heralding the arrival of an elderly dryad bearing the features of a stag. Enormous antlers grow from her head, on which hang many herb pouches and charms, as well as dozens of lit candles set on the antlers' points.
"Oooh! Hello dearies! I am Mother Stag." the dryad says, like an old sweet grandmother. She steps through the beams and waves her hands. "Please, do not think unkindly of our woods. Things here were not always this way, and it troubles me that good travelers should suffer in a place they should instead find tranquil. I have used magic to suppress the sun traps in this area of the forest. Come, let us go to my cottage were you can have some tea and a brief respite from your weary journey."
Hamdel surveys the recent developments with a critical eye, scratching notes in his book. "Yes, yes, traps, hmmmm. Suppressive countermeasures from the horned lady, not at all what I would have predicted. I must increase my skill with auguries, someday. Yes, yes!" He snaps the book shut.

Dalavash looks around at his companions, in a dire state. ‘I need to offer aid to my friends. Will your magic last the ten minutes my ritual will take? If not I will wait until we have travelled to your cottage before addressing our hurts.’ (Unless anyone looks at death's door, then I’ll do something for them now).
Dalavash is also wracking his brains to see what he recalls of the fey - in particular so the party doesn’t inadvertently end up incurring debt, or other issues.
