Phillip, Eku confirms that she could drop people down onto the remaining glowing almiraj tiles as she's carrying them, yes. "Great idea, Phillip."
Phillip, there are 3 glowing almiraj tiles remaining, and 5 members who haven't got the temp HP, so as per your instructions you will just leap over the tiles quite easily. Eku flaps her wings in approval as you arrive beside her. (25 ft is enough to clear all of the tiles.)
Gotmiraj, you hop forward on your desired tiles. I have added your path to our google sheet. Nothing happens and you make it all the way across!
Orvex says "Wait. This doesn't make sense. He just went over the same animal like we said we weren't going to do and nothing happened."
He continues "Hmmm.... you know, it would make sense that this was an active trap long ago but has since been rendered inoperative. Perhaps the magic from the almiraj tiles are the only thing that works in this shrine."
Orvex is now going to walk directly up the left pathway, getting the almiraj tile that Gotmiraj didn't get (tile 14) and then also continuing up stepping on many different tiles, and nothing happens whatsoever! Orvex temp HP = 10
Evo, you just can't seem to hold onto Eku. This all happens as Orvex goes marching ahead and so when you see that nothing happens when he walks all over the tiles, you aren't as scared when you land. Eku says to you "Sorry Evo! Next time I can try to squeeze you, although it might not feel too good!"
Evo, she is suggesting that if this is ever needed again she could roll a constrict attack and see if she can constrict you as she tries to carry you. It would cause damage, but then she'd just heal you afterwards.
Evo, when you let go of Eku, you landed on an almiraj tile. You feel 11 temp HP surge through your body!
(All of these temp HP's will expire after a long rest if not used up before.)
Alton, the last almiraj tile was left for you. Eku says "Alton, I am certain you can walk across. It's safe. The trap seems to indeed be inoperative." She sighs. "I think Orvex is right."
Alton, if you indeed walk across the tile and get that last almiraj tile, you'd receive 11 temp HP which will expire after a long rest if not used up before.
Eku and Phillip did not get the temp HP's. Eku confirms there are no more glowing tiles.
Beyond the tiled hallway seems to be some dusty corridors.
There are some small cobwebs in the corners, and it is dark as you get into the hallways now so keep that in mind.
Orvex says "Er, I can't see past here everyone."
Eku is willing to fly ahead. She would go left. Azaka would also offer to lead the way right, although is there anyone else who would want to go first? I am sure the guides would appreciate it, but like I said, either one of them are willing to go first.
If someone does decide to lead the way, feel free to make any checks as necessary if you're trying to be quiet, or looking for traps, etc. Or you can just walk without any checks too, of course.
If you want the guides to go first, let me know.
Map is updated. Evo I put you where you were dropped on the tiles. Orvex is staying on the tiles too since he can't see past them into the corridors.
Phillip has no darkvision too, so he’ll cast light on the shield he’s wielding. He’ll be in the group following Eku, and beckon Orvex over into the light with him.
OK, the hallway is lit up nicely now due to Phillip's magic. Orvex would say to Phillip in Grung: "Thank you, Phillip. Most impressive."
It seems you are all in a straight line going through the left passageway. Got-miraj, you hoppity-hop forward as your little feet make small echoes through the hallway. You see some spiders scuttle away as your hops echo, but nothing else seems to be in these abandoned hallways.
You all notice now that this is some type of mini-maze.
To save time, I'll use Got-miraj's perception roll and uncover the entire left side.
Got-miraj, as you hop forward, you notice two circular plates on the floor which are clearly pressure plates and also there are corresponding ceiling compartments directly above the plates.
I have noted these locations on the map with orange circles.
Assuming you all step over the pressure plates, you'd all get to a closed stone door.
(let me know if anyone would step on one or fuss with one of the pressure plates.)
Eku would confirm that she senses no magic coming from beyond the room. Or any good/evil.
Got-miraj will ask through Eku if someone wouldn't mind carrying him over the plates, rather than testing to see if his slight current weight is enough to trigger them.

Evo, Azaka follows you to the south pressure plate. She is also curious about the plates and is happy to see Evo test one and says "careful Ev"
...and as she finishes her sentence, Evo steps on the pressure plate. Evo, the moment you do, you see an axe come out of the ceiling compartment above you and it seems to be spring activated and weighted as it comes at you fast.
Axe blade: 8 Damage: 10
The blade deflects off your shield.
The blade immediately retracts back into the ceiling compartment afterwards.
Azaka roars/says "RRROOOAAARRRRRRR Woah! You ok Evo?! Looks like these ones are active!"
Evo, Azaka laughs at the changing of the shorts comment. She says "We shall be careful not to step on those on the way back!"
Azaka shrugs her shoulders when Evo asks about the door. She says to Alton "Alton, anything on this door seem off to you?"
Orvex then pipes up "Wow, glad you're ok Evo. Well, I mean we could just try and open it, although those plate traps might suggest this door is rigged as well."
He looks to the halfling in hopes he will check out the door.
Eku again confirms no magical energies on the door or beyond it as well as no good/evil energies.
Yep that's no problem, let me know who will go and check and specifically who will lead and get those perception checks and then I'll uncover the other side. It is a mini labyrinth and so due to PbP I won't ask for movement/direction at each corner to save time but I will at least need the leader's perception check.
Would it be Got-miraj leading the way again?
Evo, Azaka would be willing to go alone with you to check it out and would lead.

Orvex won't go any further if he can't see.
What is next?
((TRAP PSYCH!! Or was it?!))
Alton or anyone else if they want to stay back please let me know and I'll move you back.
Orvex actually will stay back unless he is able to see.
((This has given me an excellent idea for when I'm behind the DM screen....))
Gotmiraj will scoot along the wall, ears rotating as he tries to get a sense of what is ahead.

Evo winces, more in embarrassment than pain - especially since he feels great.
"Ye were a might slippery Eku. Aye'm fine with ye constricting meh if ye need to."
He stands up and brushes himself off. He'll just take the most direct route through now, trying to avoid stepping where someone else has stepped.
((oh, cool Spider!))
OK, the hallway is lit up nicely now due to Phillip's magic. Orvex would say to Phillip in Grung: "Thank you, Phillip. Most impressive."

Evo watches the horned bunny for guidance on what to do.
"Do ye want us to step on one of the plates? Aye'm feeling pretty healthy so aye can do it."
Got-miraj will ask through Eku if someone wouldn't mind carrying him over the plates, rather than testing to see if his slight current weight is enough to trigger them.

Got-miraj, Eku takes it upon herself to just carry you with her tail. She thinks to him <here, I can hold you>
Ok Eku will carry Got-miraj over the pressure plates.
Would Evo test one of them, or anyone else for that matter?
If not, who will deal with the door, and how?
Evo will test a pressure plate.
"Okay, let meh see what this does... Stand back!"
Which one, Evo?
(I will update the map once you decide)
((The one furthest away, so SE through the wall the S one.))
Evo, Azaka follows you to the south pressure plate. She is also curious about the plates and is happy to see Evo test one and says "careful Ev"

"Fine! Might need to change meh shorts."
He shakes his aching shield arm,
"Gonna have a bruise on meh arm too."
He moves back to where the others are with Azaka and says,
"Ya, well those plates aren't going to do anything but try and kill ye. Any other ideas for these doors?
Evo, Azaka laughs at the changing of the shorts comment. She says "We shall be careful not to step on those on the way back!"
Azaka shrugs her shoulders when Evo asks about the door. She says to Alton "Alton, anything on this door seem off to you?"

He looks to the halfling in hopes he will check out the door.

What's next?
((Check the other path?))
Yep that's no problem, let me know who will go and check and specifically who will lead and get those perception checks and then I'll uncover the other side. It is a mini labyrinth and so due to PbP I won't ask for movement/direction at each corner to save time but I will at least need the leader's perception check.
Would it be Got-miraj leading the way again?
Evo, Azaka would be willing to go alone with you to check it out and would lead.
You down?
Evo is down to check along Azaka.
He can lead, keeping an eye out for trouble.
