Erik, Asmodai, Ignis, Soar and Ripi are each given a potion vial filled with a pungent liquid by Professor Zalin. He then instructs them to enter the magical warding circle (1).
"Are you ready, folks?" Professor Zalin asks. All five answer in the affirmative. "Alright, on the count of three."
"One..."
"Two..."
"Thr
With a sudden blinding flash and explosion, the party vanishes from Professor Zalin's sight!
...
...
"Oh no. Oh no. The Committee is NOT going to like this..." Professor Zalin writes down something on his clipboard: Dose administered was lethal to all human subjects; subjects spontaneously combusted when potion was administered.
- - -
The five test subjects, meanwhile, experienced things differently: with a blinding flash, the room suddenly started receding in every direction!
To make a long story short, the five have not exploded: they have shrunk, down to a size smaller than a mouse!
- - -
This is a terrible predicament for the five. But it's not all bad: the potions, despite the side effects, were super strength potions after all, granting them the ability to lift ten times their own weight! (+4 Strength for the rest of the quest.) Still, the five are in dire straits until they can get to the antidote left on Professor Zalin's desk!
The shrunken five hear Jal's desperate calls, vocal and telepathic, but they can't signal back that they are okay, and all the smoke in the room from the explosion conceals them from his vision.
Asmodai looks around. To the east, a lake forming from a leaking terrarium (2). To the southeast, a flat blocky mountain range (4). In many directions there are massive square tree trunks rising in the distance, one with massive spindly roots exposed (3). He can't see up on the counter from his vantage point, but he remembers seeing two potion flasks on it when he entered the room.
Jal telepathically says, "If you can hear me, I will stay here for at least 15 minutes waiting for you. I do not know what has happened to you, and I have hope. If you are alive or dead, godspeed to all of you."

Asmodai | Feral Tiefling - Rogue 2| AC 15 HP 15| Passive Perception: 10; Passive Investigation: 12; Passive Insight: 10| Equipped: Studded Leather Armor, Rapier, Short Bow, 2 Daggers, Backpack, Quiver and Boots of Elvenkind | Wielding: Rapier and Dagger sheathed, Shortbow slung over back
Asmodai's voice booms like deafening thunder! At least to the ears of his fellow shrunken heroes; unfortunately his voice, even magically enhanced, is proportional to his new size; neither Professor Zalin nor Jal hear his cry.
Soar tries talking to her companions, testing her voice. "So either the room got huge or we got small. Where did he put that stupid antidote?" She tries to ascertain if using 5 points of her "lay on hands" ability would remove the shrunken condition. She doesn't use it yet but she thinks back to her training to see if it's likely to work.
"Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it."
(For some reason I couldn't get that to post till now.)
Soar takes Asmodai's lead of where he thinks the antidote is and suggests they start moving. If she sees something as she passes by to hit loudly with her warhammer she will do so.
Asmodai and Ignis are already in the circle.

(I believe Ripi and Soar wanted to take part in the Super Strength quest, I'll give them a bit to confirm.)
Sure if you are okay with Soar multitasking!

Jal attempts to telepathically communicate with anyone, as he was just watching and not actually participating in the experiment.

Can ripi see the proffesor. If he can he will look for some small flammable piece of cloth
P: The Traveling Ward: Natural Napalm Enthusiast. (AURYN: The Hunt For The Last Unicorn.)
DM:
Ripi can see the outline of the professor through the smoke. There doesn't seem to be cloth in view, but maybe you see other flammable things?

After the chock of being shrunk pass, Erik nod at Asmodal.
"Agree. Climbing up that broom might be our best option" He run there and climb (arhletics) 19
