OOC: alright, alright I will cast guidance for on each try to place a dagger (+1d4) :)

Gertrude is looking at the equipment. She has one dagger from Oniss, one dagger from Felix and her broken dagger blade. She looks around...

"Well, this should do it. Watch out everyone!" 

She lifts up the sturdy stick that she brought into the tunnel with her and breaks off a piece. She looks at the first blade mechanism, judges the angle and rams the stick into place, jamming the blade against its housing. Then she gives a couple more hits with her Handaxe to secure it 15 + 4 (OOC: strength check with guidance and help from Felix). 

OOC Gertrude can do the other 3 checks.

Once the first blade is blocked, Gertrude moves into place to block the other three blades. First she uses her broken dagger blade, then Oniss's dagger, then Felix's dagger. 

"Felix, give me again a hand with these please! Great work on the first one!"

She hits the broken dagger blade with the heft of her Handaxe: 15 + 4

Then she uses again her Handaxe to secure the two daggers: 6 + 1 and 18 + 3

She is ready to dodge away, if any of the blades are coming lose...

Gertrude passes through the blade trap section and...

Nothing happens. The trick worked.

To reach the next section, a 7-foot-high ledge must be climbed (no check needed). The area north of the ledge forms a 16-foot-high terrace, the floor of which is tiled in a four-by-four pattern of squares. There’s just enough room for a person to stand at the top of the ledge without stepping on the tiles, but beyond that, the pattern covers the floor from wall to wall, clear back to another 7-foot-high ledge that separates this section from the next one.

As Inete enter the temple, she shares with the group a story, heard when she was a kind, about the Man and the Crocodile.

In the early days of the world, Man stood by the banks of a river, frightened. Crocodile raised his head from the water and asked, “What troubles you, cousin Man?”

Man said, “I must cross this river, but I fear to enter the water alone, because it teems with your brethren.”

Crocodile replied, “It’s true, you would not be safe. But I will carry you across the river safely on my back, if you promise to return the favor.” Man agreed, and Crocodile bore him safely across the water.

When they reached the far bank, Man asked, “How can I repay you?” Crocodile replied, “I wish to see the realm of Humans, but I fear to go there alone, because it teems with your brethren. You must carry me on your back across your realm.” Man had been tricked, but a promise is a promise, so he carried Crocodile safely on his back across the entire realm of humans, a journey that lasted many years. He also swore, in his anger, that never again would Men and Crocodiles be friends, and so it has remained to this day.

 Kurma approaches, closing behind Gertrude. "How does the floor looks like ? any signs on the floor?"

Being thrown up Felix will examine the area for any traps and then investigate for a secret doors.

Perception: 10     [Looking for traps]

Investigation: 22    [Investigating for secret doors]

[I have adv. for looking for secret doors not for traps why I rolled two checks]

Felix can't sense any kind of trap or secret doors in this section.

Felix looks down to the others "I don't see any visible traps, doesn't mean there are none let move with cation." He will continue down the path while the others make there way up. Looking out for any traps or secret doors.

OOC on the floor pattern there are 4 plates for each row. Which one Felix is stepping on?

[Any distinct features? Do they have the same pattern or are they different?]

The tiles look the same to Felix.

Thinking nothing of it he will step on the plate (4) see what happens.

Irommek admires and studies the details in the stones around them to try and discover more information that will help Felix and Gertrude.

Gertrude climbs up behind Felix. The pattern in the floor is unsettling to her. She gets the strong feeling that they should step on these stones in some sort of order. But when Felix steps on the first plate, nothing happens. 

Gertrude examines the floor, the ledge ahead and the ceiling. Has anyone/anything come through here before? Is there any pattern in the dust?

9 perception

There is nothing relevant about the tiles. They all are the same to Gertrude.

Gertrude stands on the ledge and jumps up as high as she can while trying to see what lies after the next ledge.
