Since the danger in the warded room is averted.

78 - Cervello - Drow Battlemage moves to the first room on the left to support Darrim.
Beldarion adjusts his chainmail and leans against the opposite wall, briefly closing his eyes and enjoying a moment of silence: "Traps and magical things are your speciality, my pals. Do your best"
Should he notice the drow newcomer, he shouts: "STEP ASIDE!!" and charges against her.
If not, he just relaxes and clears his mind, staying there and letting his companions act while watching the tunnel.

Well, that was surprising. I'm not interested in any of the loot, unless there's something hiding under what is currently visible perhaps, like Suspenders of Good Posture +2, or Corsage of Charisma +3 which would add a nice splash of color to my plated outfit.



I'm no longer on top of our circumstances. Can somebody summarize:

Trapdoor - cleared
? of 4 surrounding doors cleared (1 cuts through to side tunnel)
Farther up hall is a portcullis
Back up hall to main chamber

Are any of the 4 doors remaining to be cleared, and if no our options are:

1) Back to chamber
2) Farther up to portcullis
3) Cut through to side tunnel

Am I missing something?
Thras, dwarven mage:

"Thank you, Green Hilltop, but I think I'll pass. I already changed my hair color in here and I think I just got very lucky. Let't not tempt fate too much."

Instead of drinking, I pick up the cowl. It's the only thing that looks suitable for mages. Then I put it on.
29 - Og'rialt - Dwarf Brigand, southern side tunnel

"Ok, friends, there's a time for caution, and a time for bold action. I feel we should not linger here too long. Dunward, if you would be so kind as to cast Magic Shield on me? Kip, if your keen senses feel any reason not to brave this vortex, please, speak up now? Aslain, if you could confirm you don't see any traps before the vortex, and then, rather than shooting it, tie that rope around my waist, with you and Beldarion holding on to it? Then I'll trust in my dwarven resistance to magic and my brigand ability to avoid danger, and will go see what dark secrets lie behind this vortex, and if, perchance, the exit can be found thataways!"

"I will give a short yank on the rope every minute. If you don't feel any for more than two, or if you feel three yanks in short order, please attempt to pull me back. If you feel five, drop the rope, and flee for your lives."

"I'll gladly take advice on any other precautions I could take."

When all preparations have been made, Og'rialt takes a deep breath, and clears his mind. Slowly, he shuffles forward to the edge of the vortex, his senses fully attuned, trying to get a feel for what lies ahead, ready to jump backward at the first sense of any sort of ambush. He wonders if this is truly the right thing to do. Yet he knows in his heart that none in this party that he has taken responsibility for, would be better suited for taking this risk. This time, he will not shirk his duty. This time, if there is a price to be paid, the paying will be up to him, and him alone.

After a timeless moment in which everything hangs in the balance, Og'rialt steps forward into the vortex.

Triock Ulagolor, Elven Paladin, steps aside from the sarcophagus and closes his eyes for a while to prevent blindness from the beams of light emanating from it. Then, a few seconds later, he slowly opens them to see what happened. With a hidden smile on his face, he thinks for himself - "They're not so useless after all". Showing no interest in the content of the chest, he begins to walk towards the door from which he came to the altar room, accompanied himself with a "recently" popular and cheerful Elven song to keep him in a "good" mood. Upon reaching the spot where he previously hesitated, with his sword and shield both raised, he finally decides - "Now's the time" and enters the opened door.

69 Rudy Human Ranger will move towards the portcullis staying behind of the other group of people carefully checking for anything suspicious such as traps or enemies.

"Everyone is fooler by the minute! There are no traps around the portal, within I may not say as this is magic we're talking about, and not a contraption. Fine, I'll tie it around you and we'll hold on to it with all our strength. I guess we'll see you on the other side if the gods are in the mood."

In a better mood now, the warrior replies: "Of course, my friend. Please take care. I must admit I'd miss you" (In case he is not too busy charging against Cicatrix) Beldarion will hold firmly the rope and provide whatever assistance is needed.

Kip can detect no immediate dangers (other than the obvious) [unless otherwise informed by Doc].
Kip stands by, ready to lend a hand with the rope if need be (for example, if Beldarion gets distracted and lets go, then Kip will grab on).
I carefully examine the one-handed mace and decide to take it, hoping it may be more powerful than my axe.
Then, I follow Roark towards the portcullis and ask my party to do the same.

Just an extra reminder:
In the case Beldarion detects Cicatrix, enemies or other rival PCs in the tunnel *after* having started with Og'rialt's plan, he won't let the rope loose and charge. Instead, he'll warn his companions about the incoming danger, hold the rope in one hand (wrapping it around his forearm for extra grip), the sword in the other hand, and defend the position.
Dunward Human Mage:

"This looks like some kind of portal and it could be unstable, but I must say I also curiosity also strong." Let it be Og'rialt, I will cast the "Magic Shield" on you, if you will find firm and safe ground on the other side, please return and let us know , I will gladly explore the area behind it."

Since you didn't take an action on turn 6, you're still standing where you were on turn 5, having just picked up the mace.
