"Seems like a floor puzzle. Maybe we should just have Gertrude throw felix over it and avoid the whole trapped floor like at the temple where we got that wonderful jug."

//OOC- Based on the clues I think it may be selecting predators type animals 'Path least expected' or at least any tile but the almiraj tiles. Another option is to try to select all of the animals because of the 'stew made with all the animals' in the second part of the translated message. Thoughts?//
Brunella unwinds a coil of rope, and secures it around Getrude's waist. She pulls tight, checking the knot. "I will hold on to the rope, to catch you if you fall."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As soon as Felix steps on the next boar tile (second row), four darts come out of holes in the wall directed at him. Attack: 26 Damage: 4 + DC 15 CON save 4 poison damage Attack: 22 Damage: 1 + DC 15 CON save 9 poison damage Attack: 11 Damage: 4 + DC 15 CON save 4 poison damage Attack: 19 Damage: 2 + DC 15 CON save 3 poison damage
OOC Felix must roll 4 CON saves. Also, you need to specify if you want to continue after the darts on the same path you declared before.
Gertrude is stunned, watching Felix step out on the tiles while Brunella and herself were preparing the rope. When he steps on the first tile, everyone is holding their breath - and nothing happens.
Gertrude cheers Felix on: "Be careful my friend, this looks good! Maybe the boar all the way!"
Felix steps on the next tile - and gets pierced by 4 darts. Gertrude screams out: "Felix, are you ok? Maybe come back, we need to put our heads together again and think!"
Gertrude suggests: "The path least expected. Maybe every animal needs to be stepped on only once! Only when Felix stepped on the boar for the second time, the trap hit him! Let me try."She'll wait for Felix to come off the tiles, then step on the boar, zebra, eagle, dragonfly, monkey, tiger, giraffe and on the almiraj in the last row.
//OOC, obviously, if something happens, she'll stop and reconsider ;)
Gertrude thinks: least expected path, eight rows of tiles, eight different animals. Stepping on an animal tile only once seems to fit perfectly with all the clues she has.
And indeed, as she steps on the tiles, one for each animal, no trap is set to harm her.
Gertrude looks back to the group: "Oniss was right! Step on every animal only once! There are two ways from here. We should probably stay together! Should we go right? Or were there anymore clues in that poem?"
Irommek winces as the darts seemingly come from nowhere and everywhere and stick into Felix.
Seeing Brunella, Gertrude and Felix pass the tiles after re-grouping, Irommek follows in their tracks. On the other side, he whistles at the tight maze of alleys.
"Not much room in here, even for a dwarf. I'm right behind you if you need my shield though."

Kurma stand up. « Ok, I can feel abjuration magic coming up from the Almiraj tiles... but I cannot say if it’s good or bad."
"From my memory, abjuration is usually defensive spell not offensive. But it’s hard to tell. Maybe Oniss can confirm ?"

//OOC I have advantage on dex saves. Happy to try the almiraj tiles. Also, what does a zorbo look like?
OOC A zorbo looks like a koala. A zorbo is not represented in the tiles.
