Heh.
I had to take another look at the panel staring with Belkar saying "And Xykon and the goblins?" to catch the fringe of Blackwing crossing the ward on his way back out.
Pretty subtle.

The floor color changing is the part that doesn't make sense to me.
There are two tunnels. The entrance is physically part of the same tunnel they're in now, but the floor color of the entrance matches the floor color of the tunnel the trap teleports you to. As does the dead end bit that's apparently part of that tunnel.
It's only the real tunnel that's a different color, that changes right along the trap line, even though the outside part is also part of that tunnel.

Because it's a one-way effect on the destination side?
You can get there from either side of the zone in the initial tunnel but only go back where you came from in the destination tunnel.
So it keeps you trapped unless you can disable it twice?
Edit:
It also keeps you from traveling past the entrance of the initial tunnel if you never disable the trap?

We'll have them think like Rogues, I tell you :-)

I think all dust that came from outside deposited before the trap or passed through it and got teleported to the false tunnel. Which is why the false tunnel is the same floor color as the entrance while the true tunnel is not (and less dusty I think).

Hmm. There are two teleporting traps. The first sends you from the entrance to the destination. The second sends you back from the destination to the entrance (since Blackwing used it to go back to their hiding place). When you disable the first, you go to the true tunnel. If you go back through it from the true tunnel, you reach the dead-end.
I wonder what would happen if someone disabled the second trap. I guess they would happen upon the dead end.

Given the title of the comic, maybe the bird can see a difference in floor coloring that most humanoids wouldnt?

Roy asks about the color difference, implying he sees it. Blackwing doesn't see one.
I guess the entrance floor color must have been altered to match the trap dungeon's color.
Another weird thing: the blast mark from the rat skill on the trap line is on the entrance side and on the Order's side, not on the dead end side or the trap dungeon the bad guys are in. But when Roy looks through into the dead end, we see Blackwing through the portal in the trap dungeon, with a rat blast mark. Which wasn't there in the earlier panel with Blackwing in the trap dungeon or when we're looking with him through the entrance.

Wherever Lien and O-Chul are, the floor isn't yellow...
Although being shackled to a wall is probably not a good sign, given that there are several shackles:
1) O-Chul has already been through torture;
2) There's probably something else going on, considering the way the plot has been developing.

I feel like the last panel is a dramatic reveal but I haven't been reading long enough to know who that is at the cauldron?

I wonder if we will find out who the orange speech bubbles belong to?
Now that I've reviewed the Snarl backstory (thanks Andostre), I also wonder about whether the damage to Kraagor's memorial statue will be relevant to the last gate?
