Rimara perks up at the sound of rope cutting and let's out an "Oi! Bad human! Just untie them like regular person. TikTak, you show her." She complains to the little guy. The one-eyed homunculus looks back and forth between Rimara and Violet, then rolls its eye on its way over to help unbind the duo. Try to, at least, but the lack of personal conviction does not compel him leads to a meandering flight over.
Once the last of the more acrobatic lot slides their way across the 10 foot ice bridge, Rimara makes her own running jump well past it with as much ease as the flesh golem before her. Taking whatever remnants of her rope remains, the duergar moves on ahead to hallway 14 muttering a mix of curses and arcane words in dwarvish to start mending the rope.

The three doors along the corridor are made of thick metal, their edges flanged so that they overlap the door jamb on the north side and thus can be opened only by pivoting them to the north. The north side of each door has a handle so that it can be pulled open from that direction.
Violet purses her lips together and thinks hard about the areas between here and the entrance. She ducks into the Area 11 corridor
"Stop. I have reason to believe that these doors are holding back a massive amount of water that would wash us away if we were standing in front of the door. I recommend that you join me in the corridor and allow Nine to open the doors for us, as the water won't hurt him.

Debauchery looks at the doors, nodding in agreement. "I believe you're right," the half-Drow paladin says. "But let's not jump from the frying pan into the fire." The paladin enters the Area 11 corridor, looking about for anything untoward.

Rimara squints hard at Violet for a moment, then shakes her head. "Gooood point." She rolls up the newly mended rope and moves on to Area 11's corridor. Though against what may or may not be her better judgement, she does at least wander a bit further along the corridor seeing something off about it. Its only after the fact she notices paladin in all her squinting and sidles up by him during her investigation.
The stone corridor changes abruptly to a spinning cylinder, apparently made of some light-colored metal. The inner surface rotates rapidly. It is painted in a dizzying black-and-white spiral pattern, and it glistens as if coated with some substance.
The 30-foot-long cylinder is 10 feet in diameter and spins counterclockwise at about 10 feet per second. The inner surface is covered with slippery oil. It is possible to slide through the cylinder by propelling oneself along the floor, but walking through this area without being knocked prone and taking a little damage requires a successful DC 20 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check.

Almost. You slip, the oil adding to your momentum. You bail and take 2 damage. You don't make it to the other side, the cylinder spits you out and you have to try again.
Rimara hangs back to go last, muttering about "better way" and other such things. At some point out of either boredom or half muttered command from the Duergar, he flutters on ahead past to look around the other to Perception the area on the other side a little more closely.

Peonchi contemplated trying to cross without the help of the rope since she was still a bit sour at Violet not allowing her to stay strapped to the flesh golemn for funsies, but just grumbled a bit as she caves in and uses the stupid rope.

Violet resists the urge to laugh at Peonchi and instead thinks about how this would be much easier if literally anyone in the party bothered to take a short range teleportation spell if the bard decided to do his job and inspire people. "Silvian, can't you encourage people to do better? Maybe that would help us right now." She says as she holds out the rope for Peonchi to take as she tries again.

Silvian turns to those in the back and chuckles a bit, "For someone who has nearly died, twice, she sure is eager to push onwards."
He'll follow her, sword out and keeping a look out for any dangers.

Violet sends #9 on and tells the golem to run ahead of Rimara and Silvian.
