The ruthless magical attack defeats the mighty warrior, who completes the leap thanks to his original thrust, but lands heavily on the ground, unconscious, at the feet of his companions, bleeding from five wounds...
(OOC: Daisy was carried by Clas in his arms... so she landed with Clas outside the squares, in the northern section of the room; she can stabilize him).
Daisy immediately recovers from her fall - this time sadly not cushioned by friendly arms - and she hurries to tend the fallen warrior who came to her rescue...
Barakor approaches him and licks his face, whimpering slightly, while the druid manages to plug the wounds and, with a little work, to stop the bleeding. Clas is still out cold... but at least his life is no longer in immediate danger.
Nim was worried about Daisy after her attack but now he’s utterly shocked at seeing the once strong and capable Clas rendered unconscious this way.
“Oh my! We must help him he really doesn’t look in any condition to be lying here hurt like this! I could resuscitate him but I dare say the strain would leave me in a similar condition. Mayhaps we should carry him upstairs, create a safe spot and rest for a while until we’re all feeling up to exploring?”
Clas stirs and groans as he regains consciousness. With a wry grin, he quips, "Well, that nap wasn't as refreshing as a tankard of ale! Haha - ow that hurts - haha!"
He pushes himself up against the nearest wall, his robust frame soon in a seated position. His eyes scan the floor ahead, the two spaces in front of him, checking to see if the traps have reset.
When Ardana inquires about the yellow flag, Clas shakes his head. "Hahahaha! You know what they say, who needs a flag to be foolish. Hahahaha! Daisy! You better be alright! But I'm not buying you a drink at the tavern if we end up spit shining. Hahahaha! I'll buy you two!"

Never underestimate the power of a finely crafted barrel, my friend! It is both a vessel of strength and a symbol of resilience.
Are the figures in the squares moving, or are they frozen in place? Does the 15x15 square occupy the whole room or is there space around the sides to walk around?
Clas usually has his own flag... he should have had it this time also.
The figures are frozen in place and as Daisy touched one, she found it to be immaterial... they are most likely illusions - an Investigation roll could confirm this.
The 15' x 15' zone does not leave free space to the sides... if one wants to reach the southern part of the room, traversing (or somehow passing over) that zone is unavoidable.
As for the traps having reset... it is not easy to tell, for there is no evidence... the magic missiles appeared out of nowhere... How to understand whether they are ready to appear again or not?
Tarysaa is itching to go over and touch a Celestial tile and perhaps do an IDENTIFY ritual. HOWEVER, after seeing Daisy and Clas hit by Magic Missiles, she is not certain she could withstand one wave, let alone, potentially several waves of missiles as she did her 10 minute ritual. Safety over knowledge? Perhaps in this case, safety overrules seeking? Tarysaa looks over at Clas as he is revived from the deadly encounter. 'Perhaps next time, once we have untriggered all the traps,' she mutters to herself.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Having caught his breath. (Second Wind 12) Clas stands. Hahahaha! Don't worry about Clas, it'll take more than that. Hahahaha! Nim, send your blue hand over the squares that Daisy and I passed over and landed on. This western most row going all the way south. I want to see if it will trigger the trap. As soon as it does, I'm dashing south and jumping over the wall, for protection. I think I'll have a couple seconds before it triggers again. Hahahaha!

Ardana asks "How much can your magic carry? I wonder if there are any mirrors upstairs in the Zhentarim's gear? If we throw objects, I wonder if the trap will trigger? Or the hand could hold an object in front of the trap while someone goes to the far wall."
Can Ardana see any pattern on the wall, are there more traps than the one we have triggered so far? I'll roll Perception
As you recall, no, you found no mirrors among the gilding of the Zhentarim. And Ardana does not detect any particular patterns on the walls or on the rest of the floor or ceiling... Nothing that differentiates them from other walls, floors and ceilings that you have already seen in this level of the complex. The main peculiarity of the room seems to consist only in its part divided into 9 squares with an image inside each square, as described.
So... would you like to tie a rope around Clas' waist, then Nim has to send his Mage Hand straight, through the squares North-west, center-west, south-west and if Clas sees a trap sprung, does he run off, following the same path as Nim's hand, hoping the trap doesn't spring right back?
(OOC: Yes, if Clas sees a trap sprung he dashes the path you laid out. Hahahaha! When he gets to the south end, he's leaping over and the short wall and getting low, thinking that's going to help for some reason. Hahahaha!)
Ardana! This has been fun! But I don't think I want to be dragged back through three rows of traps if this goes south, like me! Hahahaha!

Hahahaha! Well, barrels me! Bring it back Nim, let's go get some armor to shine! Hahahaha! At least we know your Blue Hand won't set off the traps! Hahahaha! Once Nim's ready, if he's going, Clas holds a yellow flag and heads off to retrieve a pile of broken armor to shine.

In fact, the vainest suit of the four, Quite Glossy, now that it had been made to pieces, has a piece that, however damaged, might be reflective enough to show… something when used as a mirror.
Clas retrieves it, Nim sends his hand, with the improvised mirror, to try to reflect what is behind the wall...
Anyone trying to watch, please roll for Perception!

(OOC: So is Daisy still in the room since Clas got hit while leaping back? If not, Medicine check to stabilize: 19)
(OOC: Daisy was carried by Clas in his arms... so she landed with Clas outside the squares, in the northern section of the room; she can stabilize him).

Ardana will use one of her last lay on hands pool to bring Clas back to 1hp, so he can participate in the conversation.
Were either of them carrying a yellow flag when they were struck?

“Oh I’m glad you’re awake chum! But you certainly don’t look well. Are you sure you’re able to carry on in this state?”
Nim says to Clas as he shuffles towards the wall for support.

"Before you do that Clas maybe tie some rope around your midsection so we can pull you back if it doesn't work?"
Ardana asks "How much can your magic carry? I wonder if there are any mirrors upstairs in the Zhentarim's gear? If we throw objects, I wonder if the trap will trigger? Or the hand could hold an object in front of the trap while someone goes to the far wall."

Is this what you want to try?

OK, so Clas is preparing for the umpteenth risky attempt... but refusing the rope.
Nim makes his Mage Hand travel...
...but the blue magical hand gets through the squares unscathed. Either the spell doesn't trigger the traps... or the traps are out now.
Hahahaha! Well, barrels me! Bring it back Nim, let's go get some armor to shine! Hahahaha! At least we know your Blue Hand won't set off the traps! Hahahaha! Once Nim's ready, if he's going, Clas holds a yellow flag and heads off to retrieve a pile of broken armor to shine.
