Further examination reveals the pyramid’s apex has exploded, creating a narrow gap between the *LIGHT BEAM* and the pyramid’s shaft wall. Perhaps the recent explosion blew out the pyramid’s point creating this gap?
If one could maneuver themselves into this tight passage, it would then be a simple, but TIGHT matter to fly-climb up beside the *BEAM* to the first level in the pyramid (assuming it exists).

Tess looks over the pyramid. ”Now, I’m not saying this would be fun, but there is a narrow gap between the light beam and the shaft wall. If you could get into there, it’d be easy to fly up past the beam to the pyramid’s first level.”

Ingrge shrugs. ”I could try and cover you with my bow,” he offers before deadpanning,”…but, even so, you best make sure any stranger that might spy you can clearly see you don’t have pointy ears…”

I don’t really have any buffs for other people. Stupid witch spell list, lol.

Tess takes the chance to use her Flight hex, wanting to have a much quicker flight method, when trouble breaks out.
Feel free to call down to the others. However, if for whatever reason you descend back through the open pyramid apex to the outer cavern, the light strikes you again doing similar damage.

Surprised by the heat of the light and by the way static electricity begins to build as he approaches it he dodges around and manages to avoid the damage from the light. Evasion. Unwilling to call down and give away his position he exits the top? of the pyramid and flies to the others to explain both what he found and the danger the light poses.

Imago casts cat's grace on Brethí, and communal resist energy (fire) on everyone, in preparation for going through the dangerous beam of light.
10 minutes of resist fire 20 for everyone. 20 minutes instead for Imago and Brethí, because this spell is divided in 10-minute increments rather than evenly. That leaves 10 minutes for a companion I'm forgetting or whoever has the fewest HP.

I think that might be Dolamite. But Dolamite has Evasion so I am good with Tess getting the extra minutes. Hmm - just a thought. The light damage is Lightning + Fire and we have already been attacked with lightning. So you could go lightning instead? Not sure if there will be more driders or not. Fire resistance is always good too though. I guess I am rambling. lol.

Dolamite pushes his luck bravely. After successfully communicating facts about the first level of the inverted pyramid, and its exceptionally bright gatekeeper, the Sacred Fists’ evasive abilities keep him safe from harm.

Tess couldn’t interpret the mural. She did point out the dark shaft heading upwards to the others, however. ”Looks like it’s flying time again,” she whispered.

Checking for threats Dolamite advances down the passage until he can see the door.
Perception for hall:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
Perception for door:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
After examining the door he returns to the group to share what he found. I did not check it to see if it is locked. Anyone good with doors? If not, when everyone is ready I will open it.
Lissa fishes out a couple picks and tools from her belt pouch, as Dolamite returns. "I'm not a fine artist at working on locks and traps, but I have picked up a thing or two. If it's a problem, I'll take point. "

Tess will use her wand to be sure she is at full HP before following the group onward.
Dolamite can hear some urgent whispering from behind the locked door. Unfortunately, he cannot understand the language being spoken.
Before Lissa has a chance to weave some B&E ✨magic, Ingrge picks the lock and opens the door to reveal two drow females guarding a pair of niches carved into the stalactite walls. Both repositories overflow with hieroglyphs.
The dark elves don’t seem very surprised to see you.

The glowing vertical beam of light you’re all familiar with, also graces this room with its presence.

Tess moves up just behind Dolemite, ready to move in and support the group next round.
As soon as the door is opened, Lissa skates into the room. After a quick juke around the light beam, she speeds past the first elf before skidding to a halt between the pair, sending out a watery lash at the red-clad one before wheeling to wait for any openings from either of them.

Imago quickly solves the 'dearth of live simians in the room' problem. The instant primate party also steals a pretty headband from the the crown of the distracted Red Skirt’s head.
Tessara moves up behind Dolamite, ready to support the group next time.
Lissa’s water whip vs Red’s SR:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Lissa can you please indicate in your posts whether SR applies or not?
Lissa’s hydraulic hitter cannot get through Red’s SR defense, though the same cannot be said for Ingrge’s arrows.
The first three penetrate Blue’s chest in a horizontal line, effectively pinning the drow to the wall. As she stands on tip-toes, her ruined heart wastes its final beats filling her lungs with her own blood.
It’s hard to say whether she drowns before the lack of oxygen in her stagnant bloodstream causes her brain to fail.
☠
Red’s fate is much simpler.
Ingrge’s final arrow enters her right eye, and blows through her frontal lobe killing her instantly.
➳
Though their obvious foes have been despatched, Imago, Lissa and Ingrge hear angry shouting in an unknown language from behind the door set into the southern wall of the chamber.

Dolamite enters the room, seeing that the fight is done but he does not have the movement to both get to the door and open it. Also he chooses not to contest with the swarm of monkeys over the drow bodies. So instead he moves to the side of the doorway to be ready in case it opens.

Tess waits on the monkey swarm to do their thing before she gets close.
Tessara delays, while Imago moves into the room and readies an action for when the southern door opens.
Similarly, Dolamite moves into the room and readies, while Gurkagh double moves inside.
Ingrge takes the initiative, bravely moving to open the door to reveal a burly Drow male, who appears astonished at the sight that greets him. (double move actions)
The white-haired male wears plate armor and wields a scimitar writhing with arcane energy.
