Zyn twinkletoes over, making sure to footsie on a different animal each time before landing next to Asha. "Nicely done!" she comments.

Kira cheerfully darts across the different animal tiles. "That was fun!"

Astra follows behind the others with as equal grace as a ballerina. “Knew those lessons would come in handy one of these days. Hah! Onwards!”

The next part of the shrine is a twisty maze. 

Everyone needs to make three DC16 Perception checks. If you pass, you spot a blade trap before it lashes out at you, and you're able to bypass it carefully. If you fail, it triggers and you take 9 each time you fail.

Astra volunteers to go first with the assistance of Faust.

Aone!: 23
Atwo!: 20
Athree!: 21

After hopefully not coming out of there like string cheese, he sends Faust back to help whoever goes next.

Before Asha goes through with Faust's help, she casts Enhance Ability on Zyn, giving her advantage on Perception checks.

Perception:15
Perception:23
Perception:13

I'm...okay at these! Kira starts bouncing through.

Please: 9

Don't: 14

Die: 5

Owl's Wisdom here we go!

Hoot 10
Hoot 16
Hoot 24

Wow, I failed one.

Confident and thankful for Asha's spell, Zyn danced through the maze, but got cocky and missed the first blade.

"YerGg!!!" she barked as the blade slashed up her shoulder, making a decent gash. She took 9 damage.

Aided by Faust, Kitsune carefully picks her way through the maze:

• DC16 Perception 1: 20
• DC16 Perception 2: 23
• DC16 Perception 3: 15

With her keen eyes, and wispy stature, Kistune easily flits through the maze with nary a scratch.

Beyond the maze in the room beyond is a shaft of natural light that spills from a tiny square hole in the ceiling onto a carved stone pedestal. An ornate stone cube rests on its surface.

Kitsune mumbles to herself "I’jin teaches us to take the path least expected." as she slowly skirts around the edge of the room, inspecting the room for traps (Perception: 10).  If finding none, she'll approach the stone pedestal from the rear of the room, and quickly snatch the stone cube from it and run outta there as quickly as possible.

Zyn watches Kitsune flee with the cube with the rest of us standing there. She gives Asha, Kira, and Astra a perplexed look. 

When Kitsune took the cube, a small click was heard.

 "I think that we should get goin' as well too."

Kira shrugs. "Guess it's time to skedaddle!"

Zyn looked at the walls of the shrine and seeing as how the shrine was open with no roof, she latched on to the top of the wall, pulled herself up, and backflipped over the wall with a loud "eeYAH!"

She rejoined everyone bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Well that was easy. I mean. Compared to the other shrines."

Faust will scout 20B as Sassy directed!

Perception: 14

Astra tells the others of what he sees regarding the bats, then moves to scout the street their heading down.

Perception: 18

Kitsune hesitantly follows Astra, a little nervous about not knowing exactly where the large dinosaur is hiding out.  Bats, on the other hand, she was happy to hear about, as they were friendly creatures of the night.  A slight smile creeps onto her hooded face.

OOC: What time of day is it?

It's afternoon.

AREA 11 - BROKEN WAGON

An overturned wagon lies on the street ahead. Rotting flower petals litter the ground around it, and bees nest in its broken wheels. A freshly cut garland of jungle flowers hangs from the wagon’s tongue. You notice that the area is unusually lush and full of life.

"Hm." Zyn grunts. "How odd."

"It is. I don't like it." 

Perception:12
