"OK, let me check for anything strange... Oh I miss our Felix !"
Kurma hold his amulet and cast Detect Magic, then call for Oghma blessing (Knowledge of the Ages). The amulet shines briefly and Kurma feels suddenly that it is easier to spot things. With Irommek behind him, the tortle starts to advance towards the propeler, looing for any traps and magic aura.
Perception: 25 + 1 (guidance)
OOC: I rolling with Irommek casting guidance on me and then doing the "Help" Action (advantage). If no advantage, use the first roll.
Kurma notices that the entire corridor is a big pressure plate, likely one that activates the propeller.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Before entering the corridor, Kurma stops Ironmek. “Watch out !look, here. The whole floor is a pressure plate! And I’ll bet it will engage the propeller.”
pondering a moment on how to bypass this trap, Kurma realised that if he cannot bypass it then he maybe can destroy it. “Let’s try to break it from afar”
"Nothing...let me focus on this corridor.I have only 10 minutes and I'm pretty sure there is a trap. This place is full of traps, it is just a matter of finding it."
"No, what did you say about Felix! How do you know that name?" Isabella stops refusing to continue.
Having identified the trap, Kurma can now focus more on Isabella.
"Sorry, my mind was on this trap. And when I'm thinking on one thing, it's hard to focus on something else. How come are you interested in our friend Felix? Felix Windfall, his name was. Poor man, lost his family in a fire if I recall. It would seem he was looking for redemption or was it vengeance... It is still unclear to me. But in the end, I think he was a good man." Kurma pauses a second and adds with a smile. "He was good with traps"

"Wha..."Isabella slumps to her knees, she begins to cry uncontrollably. "All these years of sreaching..."her cries echo the hall. Unable to concentrate on her Disguise Self spell dissipates. Her clothes stay the same but her skins reveals to be black and red scales along her face and neck. Her eyes once a normal human shape now become snake like. "Where is he?"Her voice trembles fearing the answer.
It Dawn's on Kurma when he first met Felix without his mask, that his eyes were also a unique Light Purple color just like Isabella's. "He's the one that died wasn't he..."She finally stands revealing to be a Yuanti Pureblood. Wiping her tears from her face "I am Isabella.... Isabella Windfall... I am his sister. He got himself into trouble back at Waterdeep and went missing years ago. I... I left looking for him for years. I caught wind that he was sent here because he was in prison, so I set sail to Chult. But my ship was caught in a storm and crashed into cliffs of Chult. I managed to survive but I found myself in a temple of an old Yuanti cult. One of the relics inside was cursed and it changed me... It gave me powerful magic but at the cost of my humanity..."

Oniss sees the illusion spell fade and hears Isabella story. He gets closer and places a hard on her shoulder and kneels beside her.
"Felix was a good man...a oddly complex man but he watched out for us. We we did out best for him. When we find a safe place we can trade stories of out Felix." Oniss stands up.
"Now, I am sorry but I suggest we keep moving. I fear if we linger too much in one spot something terrible will happen. We know some of what it in these halls but not all and I fear if we linger we will draw more attention to ourselves."
OOC - For traps Oniss has a +4 investigation and low HP overall.
Irommek stood with his mouth open for a solid 30 seconds before coming back to his senses. Reaching into his backpack, he pulled Felix's mask and handed it to Isabella.
"This belonged to your brother. He was a good friend...that liked to get into trouble...but had our backs on more than one occasion...."
Wrapping his arms around her, he gave her an awkward hug and then backed away.
Smiling, he added, "If we can ever find a safe place to get some proper rest, I'll share some ale with you and tell you more about your brother's shenanigans."
Looking into his backpack his eyes narrowed and then went wide. "Kurma, I have the Bat Cloak! Maybe I can put it on and fly over to see if I can find a lever to disable the plate on the other side of the propeller?"
"Kurma, I have the Bat Cloak! Maybe I can put it on and fly over to see if I can find a lever to disable the plate on the other side of the propeller?"
Wrapping the dark cloak around him, his hearing increases and he closes his eyes and slows his breathing. Lifting his arms, he feels his new wings and when he opens his eyes his vision seems amiss. Opening his mouth to complain, a screeching sound escapes him and the sound lights up everything around him. Continuing a string of Dwarven cursing, he uses the expletives to navigate through the propeller and exploits the echoes of his screeches to look for a lever or some way to disarm the trapped plate.
A deep pit opens up at the entrance to this tomb, with a stone sarcophagus resting at the bottom. A snarling monkey-like creature decorates the sarcophagus lid. Beyond the pit, three treasure chests sit on stone daises. The chest on the left is carved of black onyx, the middle chest is made of rusty iron, and the chest on the right is cast of silver and glistering with frost.
OOC Ignore the skeleton icon. There is no skeleton.
Flying back to the group and performing a few aeronautical acrobatics along the way, Irommek settled back next Kurma and polymorphed back into a disheveled looking dwarf.
"The good news is that I was able to scout out what is beyond the propeller. The bad news is that I didn't see any way to disarm the trap...oh and I'm sure I ate a bug or two along the way."
Stowing his cloak, he described to the group the chests and sarcophagus.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Isabella will walk up to the beginning of the corridor and check the plate it's self for away to disarm it. "There must be a switch or some safe passage."

She clutches the mask and cries softly as the group continues forward.
Brunella is still emotionally and socially very immature, and so is unsure of what, if anything, she should do here. Should she speak some words of comfort? If so, what? Or should she leave this new person alone? She is afraid of making some social error again, something that will make her look stupid.
However, Felix was a loyal companion, and a ferocious warrior. They fought in many battles together, and she does honor his memory. She thinks of the times they were almost torn alive by giant frogs. She remembers how, seeing Felix swallowed, she overcame her terror and ran to help him. She remembers drowning in fire, and seeing his face trying to help her as she burned.
She puts a powerful hand on the woman's shoulder. "Felix was a strong warrior. I stood by his side in battle."
She wishes she could convey more in words, like the eloquent Kurma and Oniss seem to be able to do so effortlessly. She tries again.
"I.. we fought well together."
She realizes how simple and inadequate the words are, but doesn't know how to express herself better.
Kurma quickly glance at Isabella and whispers "Interesting"
