Veryes watches the stone expectantly...... Then lets out a huff. "Well that was a bunch of work for nothing" She has put the bedroll away at this point but ties the rope around her waist and hands the end to Rimmy. "Just in case I need pulling up" She will then run across the discolored area keeping her head low.
Trynwyn looks, the slightly lowered level and darkened color of the dirt. It makes sense to be some sort of pit trap destined to cave after a certain amount of weight threshold is achieved. The stone sitting on top appears to be about the same weight as any of you. Seems pretty straight forward.
Being stopped the moment she was about to step into the trap with both the weight of the rock and her.... Tryn speaks up. After removing the stone, Veryes makes it safely across.
Veryes walks over without a hitch. She looks back to motion to the rest of the party to join her. When suddenly she hears chatter and gnawing as the dirt wall to the left of her begins to bulge outward. As two giant moles burst into the tunnel. Their noses twitching in the air while their eyes are whited over. Bearing their fangs and sharp claws they begin to charge at Veryes!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Veryes lets out a little shriek of surprise and then says to herself "This is gonna suck". She draws her rapier and dagger, moves to 10,6 to flank the rear mole, and uses both weapons to attack
((I take it that while it requires a melee roll it has a range of 30ft, making it ranged. Otherwise how could it draw someone 5ft closer? Melee range IS 5ft roughly. But I'm not 100% familiar with the spell ))
(Yes it’s a melee spell that has 30 foot reach. So Rimmy could do it from where he is and now I get to do math to see if my large mole weighs more than a Halfling.)
Veryes leaps into action with he trapier and dagger. Plunging the sword deep into the side of the mole. It screeches and roars. In pain. It’s orange teeth the same size as her dagger. The mole rolls out of the way as she tries to follow up.
Tryn lands an arrow in the closest mole, as it rests back on its hind legs almost 4 feet tall. It doesn’t get a chance to react however as a thorn whip latches onto it, pulling it closer as the dirt caves at the weight of the beast. It plummets as the whole 20 foot square area gives way. It thuds onto the ground with a heavy thud.
The magic leaves Kondo’s lips as the spell launches towards the remaining mole.
Cha save 18 it hisses at the Halfling, the spell seeming taking no effect (at least that wasn’t its attack roll!)
Veryes falls to the ground and dreams of the half-orc who came to Wynbrook. He was sooo tall. She dreams of riding on his shoulders and seeing the world from upon high :)

Trynwyn will look up and around to see what sort of trap this might be.

“Maybe we should try to move the rock first. More weight might trip it.”

(Phew!)

(oops. I had, mistakenly, assumed the rock had just rolled across since it didn't trigger it. Should of checked that!)
Veryes calls out a quiet "Thank you" to Tryn and then motions for the others to join her.

Kondo
With Veryes alone on the other side of the trap, Kondo begins to call on his deity to assist, casting Bane on the two moles. "Dirty little buggers"
(( Cha save 12))
Rimmy summons a vine from the wall lashing out at the nearest mole, hoping to pull it into the pit.
Thorn Whip: Attack: 13 Damage: 5. On hit mole is pulled 10 ft closer.

(Thorn whip is a melee spell, requires Rimmy to run over the pit. It can’t come from the wall)
((I take it that while it requires a melee roll it has a range of 30ft, making it ranged. Otherwise how could it draw someone 5ft closer? Melee range IS 5ft roughly. But I'm not 100% familiar with the spell ))
(Yes it’s a melee spell that has 30 foot reach. So Rimmy could do it from where he is and now I get to do math to see if my large mole weighs more than a Halfling.)
((To see if Rimmy is actually pulled towards the mole? ;) That would be funny. ))
(hahaha! What a great song that would make for Veryes though :))

The mole begins to pounce towards Veryes. Scratching out with claw towards her. The shoulders standing almost the height of her.
Attack: 25 Damage: 8
(did I really jinx that?)
And follows up with a bite, since she is the only one in the area.
Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Veryes falls to the ground, unconscious. The mole however buries back into the ground leaving a new tunnel under the ground.
Party’s initiative
Trynwyn is going to watch for it to re-emerge, and shoot if it does
