When the last Basidirond falls, Owai covers his mouth and gets out of the room until the spores settle, and tries to keep the hallucinating Pathfinders safe and calm until it wears off. "My lips are sealed." he says to Flinders' request. "We must at least mention the creatures in our report, but we can leave out how we dealt with them." he adds with a grin.
Snort. Sniff sniff.
The horse trots over to the plant matter. It starts contentedly munching.
"What are you doing? Don't eat that, I have sssome nice chickensss for you!" the Nagaji hisses.
Munching away the horse comes across some of the horse remains.

It rears up and trots back.
"Snort"
"Ssssshall we go check out the other room, fellow Pathfindersss?"

"Yes, I think I've got all my weapons back. I can scout ahead if you like."
Osric moves out to explore the area othis tower the group hasn't looked at yet.

Flinders follows, examining the door for traps.

The party moves into the next chamber.
This wide circular room is relatively clean and clear of debris. Faintly glowing runes embossed into a crescent-shaped pedestal near the center of the room cast wild shadows against the walls. A heap of dirt and rubble along the west wall covers what were once stairs leading up, while to the north, a wide staircase descends into darkness. A stylized map woven of metallic fabric hangs on the east wall.
The pedestal is 4 feet high with its top surface sloping down toward the center of the room. Six large runes on raised buttons form a hexagon, with many smaller symbols woven around them.
Flinders, with Xue's assistance, is able to note a magical trap in the center of the room in front of the pedestal.

Flinders studies the map. "It's Varisia, but Varisia of the past, when it was Thassilonia. Look there, it look like someone has written in something recently, where modern settlements lay."
Flinders begins to study the trap, looking for a way to disable it.
Disable: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Flinders tries to disable the trap. Instead, he hears a voice announce something in a soft soothing tone.
DC 17 Ref to leap clear if you want to.

Osric freezes in the doorway when Flinders shouts his warning, hoping to avoid trouble with the trap.

Owai holds back as instructed.
Xue tries to leap clear at his companions warning, but instead lands upon his backside in a very undignified manner.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Only Flinders needed the save; it wasn't the whole room, just the spot in front of the control panel.
Flinders jumps out the way in time and is not caught by the contraption.

"Whatever that was, it's probably a good thing you didn't get caught in it." Owai says, patting Flinders on the back.
"What wasss that language?" Xue asks as he stands up.

"Elven" Flinders says. "It said "Circle active-observation deck", I wonder if it is some sort of teleportation device." Glancing around, he says. "Should we try the stairs down first or test the circle?"
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Any opinions? What are you guys doing?
Male Aasimar (Azata-blooded) Bard (Dawnflower Dervish) 3, Monk 2 (Master of Many Styles/Monk of the Sacred Mountain) HP 39/45, AC 23, T 17, FF 16, CMD 18, F +7, R +11, W +5, In +5, Per +4, SM +16, 1 Str dmg
"Let's save the Elvish magic circle alone for the time being and test those areas we know we can get back from first." Owai suggests.

"We might as well give it a try before we move on. Should the rest of us stand back while you work with it Flinders? This sort of thing isn't really in my expertise."

Flinders' head turns on a swivel as he get two simultaneous, conflicting suggestions from his party.

Flinders moves to the top of the stairs, getting out his ioun torch and peering down.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Finding himself distracted, he takes a couple more looks to make sure.
"Would you like me to go down firssst?"
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
The party heads down the stairs. The air here is cooler than the upper floor, and the room is relatively clean and clear of debris. The walls, though made of stone, bear the carved likeness of fresh soil riddled with tree roots. A staircase along the northern wall winds upward to the floor above, and an open doorway leads to the south.
Seeing that this room is empty save the decorations, the Nagaji spurs his horse south into the next rooms, squeezing him through the door.

Flinders keeps pace with Xue, wary of traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Osric follows behind and activates his Shining Wayfinder of the path grows dark. He stays just behind the leaders with his bow at the ready.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Beyond a few pieces of furniture made of petrified wood and a stack of sleeping pallets, this rounded triangular room is devoid of furnishings and gives the appearance of having been ransacked. A wealth of mushrooms and fungi grow to a height of three feet around the periphery of the room. Open doorways allow passage to the north and south, and a closed door made of petrified wood stands in the middle of the curved eastern wall.
The squares containing fungi are extremely difficult to traverse; each square requires four squares of movement to traverse. Woodland Stride would negate this.
As Xue steps through into the next room, he is met with two bows pointed in his direction. The wielders looks elven but their skin is dark. Each of them crouches behind overturned tables.

Owai is up!

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Assuming Xue moves ahead, can I 5' step into the room, or would that require going around a "hard corner" from where I'm at?
Looks like a hard corner to me. I was 10' in the room but I guess Red Hair had a moment of cowardice and moved 5' back :)
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Yeah, that would be a hard corner. I moved you back because you wouldn't have made it any farther with the drow already waiting with bows drawn. Remember the talking statue upstairs? They heard that.
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Ok, sorry I let this one slide today after I said I would update. We'll move forward now and Owai can jump back in when he's able.
Owai takes up a defensive stance as the drow unleash their arrows on Xue!

You guys are up!
Xue grunts as an arrow hits him, and then shrugs off the poison.
"Sssss-kiai!"
He changes into dragon style as a swift, then strikes to sunder Solvato's bow with his adamantine katana. This provokes from Solvato, if he has a melee weapon.
fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Osric steps into the room, allowing Red Hair to shield him from the enemy to the west. He sends an arrow at the southern foe.
Silver Blanched Cold Iron arrow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Can't see map atm.
Flinders steps into the room. "Did you hear the one about two drow walk into a bar....?" He then casts a spell.
Cast Hideous Laughter DC 14
The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
@Xue: he does not have a melee weapon out currently.
Xue attacks the table!
Osric fires his bow but the man proves hard to hit on the ground behind a table!
Flinders SR: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Flinders tells a joke but the drow leader does not seem amused.

Owai ducks forward and moves into the room now that the Nagaji and horse have attracted the attention of the dark-skinned elves. He slips around one of them and lashes out with his Scimitar.
Swift to engage Crane Style. Move and attack Defensively. Current AC 27. AC 31 vs first attack from that target. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
+2 more if flanking. Not clear on that for large creatures flanking.

Owai moves into the room and slashes with scimitar but misses!
Realizing that his position on the ground is much now that melee is imminent, Solvox takes a defensive stance and tries to stand up. provoking from Owai, Red Hair, and Xue
Zolvato drops his bow and slashes out at Xue with his elven curve blade!
+1 elven curve blade: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Osric unleashes a trio of arrows at Zolvato.

Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
11 arrows fired, cold iron w/ silver blanch. My attack assumes that Zolvato is standing and doesn't have total cover from me. If he has total cover, I'll target Solvox. I'm going to be a pain, because I hate missing and Improved Precise is the only reason I'm shooting arrows right now. Thanks!
"Ssss-yaaaaaaaaa!"
His attacks are all ineffective, but his hiss activates... snake style!

Flinder sidles into the room, uncoiling his whip and lashing out Zolvato, trying to pull the drow's legs out from under him.
Whip!, Cover, Luck: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 + 2 = 24
