Laladak uses his pike to try to open the tilting floor, putting his weight into the effort. It takes a lot of effort, and as the floor starts to tilt he is leaning heavily on the pike. He momentarily looses his balance...

Give me 2 (Dex) acrobatics checks, the 2nd with advantage.

(If Laladak starts to fall, I'll try to catch him.  If not, and the floor opens far enough, how far down is alben?)

Alben is acouple of feet down.

(Why two dex checks? I dont understand why this is so freaking difficult.  I rolled above 20 and basically used a 10ft pole. The story for the past month has been a hallway and a guy stuck in a pit can you just make the call and help us move forward?)  

Sigh...

(screw this) 

(You had to apply 150lb's of pressure before the floor starts to tilt. Using a pike, or a 10' pole to do that, you would need to be leaning heavily on the pole. Causing you to over balance and possibly fall in when it started to tilt.)

Laladak over balances and starts to fall into the pit. 

Tyris you can try to catch him. (I think a simple dex dex check to see if you catch him (DC 10), followed by a Str check to see if you hold on to him (DC 15). If you have any better ideas post it.

(No one else but Tyris posts in game until we see if he catches Laladak)

Tyris grabs for Laladak as the other man begins to fall. 

Dex 12

strength 18

Tyris manages to catch Laladak as he starts to fall into the pit pulling him away, they both collapse to the floor happy to not have fallen. 

As the floor opens Oreus and Shadow haul on the rope, pulling Alben free of the pit.

As Alben is hauled out you all hear a big clunk from the pit.

You each get 75 XP

Oreus 

you all well?

If all the doors are locked Shadow will try to pick the lock on the first door, if a door is open we will explore that room instead 

 Teechu will lead everyone into the next room the door to the west side of the room that would lead toward the outside of the map

" That was... Invigorating, thank you!"

Alben takes a moment to gather himself and follows Shadow (In standard marching order, assuming everyone else is going"

Shadow leads the party to the western gear door and prepares to unlock it. It is a complicated lock and takes him around 10 minutes muttering under his breath the whole time.

While he is working on the lock Oreus sees that the glyph on this door is the same one that he had trouble with on the north end of the hallway. He spends the time going through his memories of the Gnomish letters and finally decides that it is an "E" 

Finally Shadow lets out a triumphant noise, and the gear slides sideways into the wall. Leaving a circular window (or door) in the wall.

Are any of you besides Shadow and Oreus going to do anything during the 10 minutes?

Shadow are you going to go through right away?

Laladak will Search for any signs of trouble ie ambushes. Perception 21

While Shadow and Oreus are busy Laladak searches the room looking for enemies. He doesn't find anything. 

(Do you want to break order and scout ahead when the door is opened?)

“Alright let’s keep going, maybe we will find someone down here eventually.”  Shadow will go through the door

As Shadow steps through the door three jets of flame fills the doorway, dealing 10. Dex save 15 for half damage.

Dax save 15

“Ow ow ow, that burns!”  Disable device 9

Shadow managers to disable the flame trap allowing the rest of you to follow unmolested. 

You enter a short hallway with a + intersection.
