We could politely ask the creatures if we can cross unharmed.
Hmm, good idea… “good lads! Might we cross unharmed?” Angelino will say that toward the tile on the floor. After they will walk forward casually. (I mean very casually)
Now that she knows where it falls, Kay step onto the tile and position herself so that the blade can't hit her, then she will look in the hole.

Perception:9
You tuck yourself into the edge of the corridor and step out onto the Piercer tile. As the blade sweeps behind you in the narrow space, you peer into one of the holes in the wall. Your eyes go wide as the blade swings back past you, and you see a flicker of orange light flare up at the back of the hole.
Please make me a Dexterity saving throw, as a gout of flame bursts towards you from the hole!

Angenilo gets no response from the tiles, and steps out as the blade swings back up into the ceiling - please make me a dexterity saving throw, as an eruption of fire threatens to engulf you!

"Angelino already tried asking politely. What do you want to ask them?" Kay looks back at the tile she just jumped off of. "We could try stepping around the images. Mind your Manners might just mean don't step on me." She tries to remember if either she or Mendigo stepped on the Piercer.
“I’ll save you, friends of Jerry!” Mendigo heroically shouts, leaping in front of them to take the full blast of the flames.

As Angelino walks proudly and tragicalll onto the tiles, a great gout of flame erupts from the hole in the wall. Mendigo leaps in front of it, and through their sacrifice, Angelino and Kay manage to leap aside and only catch 10 fire damage.
Mendigo, being made of wood but containing a fire spirit, finds themselves caught between the woods tendancy to catch aflame and the fire spirits ability to absorb the flames - Mendigo, please can you roll me a Constitution saving throw, DC18.
On a success:
The fire spirit within Mendigo manages to absorb the brunt of the flames. You take 8 fire damage and gain an Inspiration, as your spirit is refilled! you step off the tiles, smoking but (I assume) victorious in your efforts to save Jerry's friends.
On a failure:
Is mendigo screaming, or is it just the hiss of steam escaping his poor wooden body as it erupts into flames? Mendigo is swiftly engulfed in the flames, and takes 20 fire damage as they step - or fall - back off the tiles, still aflame.
Alive or dead, the three step off the tiles and the gout of flame stops, leaving its passing singed into your retinas after the dark of the room.

The image of the piercer seems to take up the majority of the tile, but there are some smaller gaps around the edges which you could step onto if you wanted to try it. You probably did step on it, as it's the majority of the tile! I can't imagine Angelino walking on the edges, so he certainly would have!
Well done Mendigo! You take the 8 fire damage and then step back from the flames, having shielded your friends, with Inspiration as your fire spirit is fuelled by the flames!

Angelino is REALLY not looking good after the flames… he stumbles back and snaps his fingers. A few things happen…
first, Angelino casts that one cantrip no one can pronounce to remove the scorch marks from his robes.
then, a dove appears in front of him. It’s his familiar. After the familiar is there, he’s gonna lay a hand on his chest and use his pact-with-a-celestial-powers to heal for 30 HP.
(I have gift of the eve living one, so I don’t need to roll when I got my familiar out.)
Harmony will try stepping around the picture of the piercer onto the tile.
There isn't a lot of room around the picture, but you manage to position your foot on some of the decorative border. There is a clunk as the tile drops down slightly - you've seen what happens, so make a Dexterity saving throw with Advantage, DC 15, as the great blade scythes down towards you from the ceiling!
The blade arcs down at you with that hiss you're all getting familiar with, and you scramble back to avoid it - a few stray hairs from your head float to the floor to mark its passing as it clicks back into the ceiling.
(You Just - JUST - avoided becoming a split Harmony!)

Well now we all know not to look in the holes.

“Thanks for the save Mendigo. I don’t think I would have survived if not for you.” Kay ignores the scorch marks covering her face. “Look out Harmony!”
