[ OOC: In my head, Ember had stepped onto the board with the others. ]
Ember looks around at the others; watching as the floor squares lit up as them moved about. Unsure what might happen, Ember leaps into the air and tires flying over to H2.
Anton wears a concerned look as he stands in his new square and answers Otho “It’s not chess, or at least any version I’ve played. It should not have let me move in that manner. And there are no other pieces on the board, at least for now. I think the squares lighting up have something to do with it, but no idea what.” He shrugs and takes a half step forward, trying to stand at the intersection of two squares. (moves to intersection of C/B 7/6 to see if he can stand in between squares).
Nico scratched his head in confusion, then sighed and drew his rapiers. Thumping his chest with a fist, he loudly stated, "My body to the flame!"before running across the board.
(( Nico will attempt to run straight to H1, then will stop and turn toward the statue. ))
The bard let out a sound somewhere between a squeak and a grunt as he hopped into the air; the bulk of the lighting only struck where he was, but as he landed, there was smoldering from one of his feet.
Glaring at the statue, he slowly stood to his full height. "Okay... so the statue ain't fighting like I thought it might. Did I just 'claim' this square, then? Is that what we need to do, find all the red squares and reveal 'em?"

Ember hovers over H2 and the floor does not react.

The squares lose their light when you step on a new square. Ember stepped on A2 the flew over to H2.

Otho remains frozen to the spot “uhhh is this chess or checkers?! Where should I go my dearest comrades”
"That is what I am about to find out," Ember called out as he lightly touches down on H2.

By chance, Anton puts weight on C7 first which lights up, then C6 which lights up.

As Nico runs, each square flashes white until he stops on H1 which glows brightly.

Grey will attempt to stand on both A7 and A8, see if he can get them both to light up.
Nico attempts to run to H4.

Nico lands on H4 and it lights up bright red!
Lightning flashes from the outstretched hand of the statue!
DC 12 DEX save vs 4 lightning. Save for half.
Then the square lights up bright white.
