Kathleen claps and congratulates Bryn on figuring it out. "Way to go! Found out how the puzzle works!"
She will let the rest of the party go first before following, stepping on the same places Bryn did. She is going to go last simply because she wants to stay at the back of the party so she can help out with ranged support in case they encounter more enemies.
Torrel is amused that the fighter and ranger want to stay in the rear letting the magic user and song smith to deal with the door entry. Torrel " the door at the end of the hallway right."
"Oh, what are you waiting for. Just open a damn door." Flux will then go to the door at the end of the hallway, opening it, standing proudly and staring through the door-frame.
As you open the door at the end of the hall, you see a large stone well in the center of the room. It is topped with a wooden handle, and the rotten remains of a heavily frayed rope descend into the shaft. To the far left part of the ceiling has collapsed, and a weak beam of sunlight shines in. To the far right a plain wooden table is topped with plates, bowls, and all sorts of dinnerware sitting in dirt and dust.
Reacting Quickly, Kathleen places the torch on the rim of the well so that the light gives her clear vision of the centipedes. She takes out her crossbow and aiming down the well, she fires at the closest Giant Centipede.
Heavy Crossbow: 22 Damage: 6 Pierce
She calls out. "Guys! We got company! Centipedes!"
Flux will run over to the well, pointing his palms down the well, thumbs touching and fingers spread, blue flames spewing out from the mouth of Flux's hooded figure (think s Demon Slayer breathing style). "In shadowed realms where whispers weave, a sinner’s breath brings forth the eve. With fingers brushed upon the brink, the world ignites — no time to think." And after a dramatic pause (think Jujutsu Kaisen), "Burning Hands." (DEX12)
Kathleen shoots one straight through, and then Flux's fire kills the rest, though Flux notices it wasn't as powerful as it has been, likely because he is shooting it into water.
Bryn attempts to step only on the fire portion of the last section then from there to the room on the other side, welp, here goes!
As he steps onto the last panel, specifically only in the fire section...nothing happens!

Torrel follows Burn across the tiles and continues to work on his wounds quietly.
Along the corridor ahead you see two doors. One straight ahead at the end of the corridor, and one toward the end on the left.
Kathleen would suggest, "Maybe we should check the door at the end first? That way if something comes out, I'd have a clear shot at it."
Bryn loads his crossbow and stands with Kathleen, solid idea, ready when y'all are.
((Who's going to open the door? Kathleen would prefer to not be it since she likes to be at the back and shoot people from long range)
Torrel is amused that the fighter and ranger want to stay in the rear letting the magic user and song smith to deal with the door entry. Torrel " the door at the end of the hallway right."
Kathleen nods. "Yes the one at the end of the hall. That way I'll have a clean shot at anything that might come out of it."
"Oh, what are you waiting for. Just open a damn door." Flux will then go to the door at the end of the hallway, opening it, standing proudly and staring through the door-frame.

Kathleen slowly steps up to the well and looks down to see if she can see something interesting using her 60ft Elf Darkvision.
You can barely see some water shimmering in the bottom, and a couple of shadows in the water.
Kathleen takes out a torch and holds it down the hole to try and get a better look.
You see three giant centipedes react to your light and start to climb up. First round surprise for players.

Katleen looks down the well one more time and says, "Right... let's not try and climb down that just yet. Let's try the other door."
