"Actually, my Fey Ancestry grants me advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and the spell Sleepcan't affect me. I think Magron might need the charm, not me. It will be unnecessary"- Maerwyn suggests Grom.
(@Orange20 The party might be interested to know what's situated at the end of the hallway.)
Dusk stops on hearing Maerwyn and puts his palm on his face, sighing with complete exasperation. He doesn't know whether to scream or laugh. The elf woman had grabbed him, invading his personal space, on the grounds of wanting them to put spells on him despite his declining - which he did because he was already protected and others might be more of benefit... and then she goes and does the exact same thing - declining because of her own protections?!
With another sigh he looks up at the ceiling, as if peering to the heavens. "Damn hypocrite," he whispers to himself. He stands there waiting for the others to catch up as he mentally curses reality, all known gods and his rotten darn luck to be stuck with these people, especially her.

The people that went through the hallway: There's a door at the end of the hallway. There's a sign above it that says:
Welcome to this dungeon!

Maerwyn seems astounded with the audacity of the Illithids when her glowing scarlet pair of orbs remains fixated on the sign.... the stray locks of hair that previously disturbed her view point are stuck on her cheeks with the sweat. Dungeon?She has found herself mouthing the word and investigating the entrance to the dungeon to see if there's something here hidden from direct view of any intruders.
"See if you can find out something?"- she asks Grom and points her finger at the door, then suggests further, "You can take a look at the door to discern the mechanism of the door, Magron."
"Well," Dusk says as the group reaches the door. "That confirms they're expecting us. I wonder if there's no real threat to the village and this is all just a test. In any case we should proceed cautiously, in case of unwelcome surprises."

Dusk finds that there's a tiny button under the door.

The button, could he tell if this is under the door so if the door opens it is released, or if it's like a button that wouldn't be set off by opening the door and is more like a button you find and press to disable something?

OOC: I'll assume Grom said that after Dusk's announcement
He raises his staff to cast Passwall and tries to aim it so that it will not remove the door, at least not the bottom or hinges, that way the pressure stays on the button.
Last charge of staff expended, checking to see if I keep it (on a 1 the staff vanishes): 18

"Undoubtedly, that was one of the wisest decisions that you made!"- Maerwyn appreciates the fellow Aasimar by blurting out a considerate compliment. If the adventurers pay enough attention, they might find her expressing uncoiled admiration for acts that manages to impress her. But, she's been showing sharp indifference to anything else which either goes against her personal codes of conduct or fails to yield successful outcome.
She takes cautious steps to pass the barrier through the unoccupied magical space, pausing for a moment to reconsider the possibility of getting stuck inside the blank place if the effect gets exhausted sooner than her expectaction, then enters the room after sending a wave towards everyone to follow her. "Unfortunately, he just expended the last charge of his staff before the ensuing encounter with the Illithids"- she mutters under her breath as if discussing a theory of conspiracy, "That's a bland form of self-annihilation."
"Nice move Dusk, but this room is perculiar." Magron says as he moves in and takes a closer look at the cups of tea, what kind of smell is coming from them? Are there only the 5 cups, or also a pot of tea?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: How does Maerwyn know how many charges the staff has? How does she even know what type of staff it is?
Dusk will enter the room with his two minions following. "Five cups. With my summons there is five of us. I wonder if that is a coincidence. I certainly won't trust that tea."
He proceeds cautiously to the other door and as before will inspect it for traps.

(A magical staff can be easily distinguished from a non-magical staff, and the details section of the Voyager Staff describes it as a versatile weapon when all the charges have been used. I think my pc decided to discern it by a calculated guess, it's not necessary to know the exact type.)
