On the next ledge, Gertrude sees a door on which it is depicted the same checkerboard-like pattern of the tiles.
It seems that now the third tile from the left, second row faintly glows.
OOC I am assuming the perspective of Gertrude and Felix. Felix now is on the fourth tile from the left, first row.
Gertrude tells the others what she just saw: "This doesn't look like a trap, this looks like some kind of opening mechanism. When Felix stepped on the first plate, a different plate on a similar looking pattern started to glow. Watch my back, I am going across and climbing up to tell you guys what is happening..."
With that Gertrude steps forward onto plate A2 (second from the left, first row), then continues B2 (second from the left, second row), C2, D2 and climbs up the next ledge.
As Gertrude steps on the second tile of the first row, a swoosh is heard in the temple. Magical flames appear from the walls to engulf and blast Gertrude and Felix!

Fire damage 23, DEX saving throw the halve
Gertrude sees the flames shooting towards her and Felix. For a split second she believes she just killed her companion. Then with an uncanny danger sense her body reacts without Gertrude realising that she is moving her muscles. She dodges and throws herself to the floor. (Dex save 15 )
She can feel the fire hurt, but she knows this move might have just saved her lift. She slowly lifts her head to check on Felix... worried about what she might see...
OOG: Jcburgg - lots of our discussions happen now on Discord. Not sure if you're able to follow and I don't see you online, so just wanted to mention that just in case you're missing out!!!
After a few side conversations, Irommek speaks up and addresses the group.
“Well, we definitely know that there are some tiles that are trapped, even though we can’t detect any magical auras. If we keep sending in Felix, we’ll need bandages for his bandages at this rate. Gertrude saw some of the tiles on the door at the far end that glowed and we’re guessing that they point to the next safe tile across this death trap. I’m willing to go in and test that theory. Kurma can sit on Gertrude’s shoulders where he has a better view of the door and can tell me where the next tile glows.”
“If everyone agrees, I’ll take Felix’s place up on the ledge while he recovers back here with Inete and I’ll step on the tile he did and then on the next one in the door. If our theory proves to be correct, we’ll have a way through this section that we can follow one at a time. If our theory is wrong…well, I guess I’ll be testing my reflexes and the insulation of my shield.”
Felix shouts"Of course it would be a magic traps! I hate Magic traps!"As he gets up to check on Gertrude"I think we should go one at a time. Those Goblins probably planned for us to die here." As he says that he will turn to Mushy and Inete. "Anyway I got burned quite a bit lets get to Kurma and I'll continue on a head myself."Felix will make his way to our Cleric for healing. Hearing Irommek volunteer Felix will not object. "By all means go up a head..."

"If I have to..."Inete touches Felix on the shoulder to infuse him with healing magic (Cure wounds 5)
Kurma senses an aura of evocation from the walls. From the tiles, it comes a feeling of conjuration, however, it is so faint that it is impossible to discern anything useful.
Gertrude turns. She steps off her plate. And waves Irommek to come up.
"Irommek, before you step on the plates, just wait a second. Oniss, come, be my crocodile and come on my back! Now that we're all off the plates, let's see if you can se if there is anything alight on the structure ahead!"
Oniss looks to Inete and asks,
" You seem to know of the legend of this temple. Do you know anything more that may be helpful? Do we need to sacrifice a alligator?"

A4 is where Felix is now, A2 is where Gertrude stepped on and activated the trap.
Oniss does not find anything relevant nor croc-related.

[Because of Dungeon Delver Feat I get resistance to damage dealt by traps and Adv. to avoid them too.]
Before Gertrude can take her first step Felix's Rogue sense tingles and he tries to step away as She step on the plate and the fire rushes forward!
