The fledgling bird gobbles up the nuts placed before it and soon is out of the cage; Bryn thinks better of trying to treat its wound, as the creature seems very skittish and quickly runs to the jungle edge and disappears. Shrugging, she joins the others at the bottom of the steps to the temple as Fulcra makes his joke at Azaka.
Azaka chuckles to herself and shakes her head as she pulls bags out of the canoe and begins making camp.
Cimeri is at the top of the steps, moving very quietly and looking at seams in the stonework as she advances; she's now ten feet in, just at the ankles of the carven giant, where the true temple begins.
This hallway, from your vantage point at one end, is about ten feet wide, enough for two of you abreast, and extends 20 to 25 feet into the darkness until it stops dead at a giant ledge seven feet high. From here it looks as if someone at that end of the hallway would need to jump up to catch the ledge and pull themselves up to continue further in.
Cimeri has found no traps thus far.
[OOC: I need some details on marching order etc. Right now I have order of appearance, so Cimeri, Taman, Bryn, Fulcra, Celtra (if she goes in, which she can tell us when posting next). How many feet do you stay apart, one behind the other? Are you two abreast? Who is next to whom? If I don't receive the details, there's no going back later to say "I wouldn't stand so close to the person who got flattened by the falling rock trap..."]
Cimeri will insist to be a bit ahead of others and search for traps - as, probably, the lightest in the party, hence, less likely to trigger some trap (I know it does not count, but still) and the one with darkvision as well. And just in case - her thieves' tools are with her.
After having looked around, Celtra hears the inquiry about who wants to go into the temple. Practically forgetting what she was doing, she made her to the mouth of the temple to join the others.
"Explorin? I'm up for that. Where you me?" She asks. Nudging Fulcra she says, "up front to push things."
Taman is just behind Cimeri, but a few feet back from her, to give her room to scout, but close enough to continue to cast guidance on her as needed. He would have also cast light, since he does not have dark vision at all.
Bryn would try to allow some space between her and others if it were possible. She was used to having a lot more space, but of course would remain close enough to react if anything were to occur.
Cimeri takes a deep breath and moves forward across the mud and vines into the gloom as Taman lights a stone in his hand behind her; Celtra is next to Taman, Fulcra behind him, with Bryn bringing up the rear.
A chill breeze blows through the temple. Cimeri takes a few hesitant steps forward, looking for anything out of the ordinary, but the mud and vines cover everything.
"It seems ok h-...", she says over her shoulder before the floor swings open beneath her, Celtra and Taman, and each disappear from sight, plummeting downward.
Cimeri lands awkwardly, even for a monk, taking 8 damage(bludgeoning). Taman and Celtra take 4 damage. The pit is 20 feet deep. Fulcra and Bryn note a slight lip around the edge of the 10 ft square region of the floor that just swung open; one could traverse it to get further into the temple but it'd be a balancing act.
Celtra slowly stands up. "Well that was shite. Is everyone alright?" She asks. Seeing that everyone one is more or less okay, she scans the pit for anything of significance and will then try to scale the wall.
(Can we assume that we did not forget our backpacks with the ropes either? :) )
"I am fine,"stoically answered Cimeri brushing aside pain as an untimely destruction. "I am sorry I did not noticed that trap". She helped Taman to get up, and looked around in search of any mean to get out and to actually check if they need to get out or there is some passage leading further from the pit.

"Don't worry, none of us saw that." Taman says with a shrug, getting to his feet. He holds up the glowing rock and takes in the pit. "Azuth guide me..." He murmors as he casts Guidance on himself.
"Give me a help looking around..." He says through his mental link to Sabastian.

Celtra slides back down with a thud after trying to find some handholds unsuccessfully. Taman holds the stone-light out in front of him and turns in all directions; Sebastian agrees that this is the most boring 20 foot deep pit, 10ft square on a side. Absolutely nothing of interest, no items, no dust, no tunnels out. Seems you'll have to just climb out.
You're all glad you remembered your packs and hand weapons, so you have rope if it's in your pack. During this upcoming climbing process, which wall do you try to climb up (where will you end up when done climbing)? On the edge from which you fell, where your compatriots stand, or on the other side, across the pit?
Anyone attempting to cross the pit along the very narrow ledges will need to make an acrobatics check.

"One moment..." Taman says to the group, calling up to those above as well. "I am going to send Sabastian ahead, just to be sure nothing is going to hit us as soon as we move past this pit..." With that said he casts Guidance on Sabastian, then sends him to his extra dementional space, before calling him back and having him up on the far side of the pit from the rest of the group. Taman then has the bunny-familiar scout a bit down the tunnel, but only like ten or fifteen feet.
"Yep, that's why I am having Sabastian scout that area right now." Taman confirms. "Once we know it is safe, we can climb up and out, then help the others cross."

Fulcra looks down the pit, "Everyone ok? Phew. Good stuff finding that trap folks. The rest of us appreciate you."
Fulcra watches as the bunny vanishes and reappears, and starts hopping away. "Seems safe enough." He begins to skirt along the edge of the wall to the far side.
"Careful!" All that Cimeri was able to say before Fulcra joined the crowd at the bottom of the pit. "If only you wait one more minute...". There was no point to argue, of course and she tried to get out of the pit (guess in the worst case we can make a pyramid :) )

Bryn would blink a couple times, watching each one of her comrades now go down into the pit. She'd shrug, figuring that she's got nothing to lose at this point. At least she'd be in good company if she fell into the pit. But if she made it, she'd be able to help the others out.
The halfgiant would give each one of her limbs a quick stretch, including her toes, and then make her attempt to skirt along the ledge.
Bryn and Fulcra each take to a side of the ledge; the half-giant, perhaps due to arm and leg span, has little trouble working her way along. With a flap of arms and a 'Whoopsie doodle!' Fulcra plummets into the waiting arms of Celtra; she sets Fulcra down on his feet, dusts him off and pats him on the head. He thanks her, managing a brilliant grin and minimal blushing.
Sebastion 'bamfs' out of existence and reappears at the other side of the pit and timidly hops forward, investigating the next ten feet of hallway. The Almiraj is quite perceptive but doesn't have the same reaction as Taman, who sees through the familiar's eyes, noting four large notches in the wall, floor to ceiling, housing something metallic and shiny. He starts to call out to Bryn as she reaches the other side, heavy foot coming down on the flagstone, which shifts down ever so slightly with a subtle grinding of rock upon rock...
