Remember your italics.

The party heads on down - or starts to. Surraruthru does a quick check. Beneath where the orb was is a trap door, seamlessly part of the floor. It doesn't look to be trapped and can be opened if you wish.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Ah! Door! Door! There's a door under the orb! More treasure? No traps that I can see."

[Anastasia]

Mirajane stops and goes to it, "I see great risk and great reward," she murmurs. "Along with a feeling trepidation." A slow frown forms on her face, "It radiates out from it like a pulse."

[Ebiris]

"Lathander strikes me as the sort of person who'd be more impressed with daring than caution," Afina says, recalling Origin's scathing assessment of Lixer's character. "Lets prepare for a battle and then open it?"

Suiting action to words she casts Shield on herself...

"Hmm... Part of the test? Risk for reward? See how bold we are? Great reward is tempting."

[Anastasia]

"That does make sense," Kascha puts her book away and readies her greatsword. "I wonder what lies below?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru does like-wise, preparing a few defensive measures for himself...

As requested, spell turning has been secretly rolled.

~10 minutes since casting Miracle, spell durations adjusted.

[Anastasia]

The trap door is opened. It reveals a small passage with a ladder going down. The party should be able to make it - save for Arrel. He takes one good look at it and clacks his beak, "A passage for creatures with arms and legs, not wings and feathers."

What order are y'all going down in?

[Ebiris]

Lets go Surraruthru, Jaela, Mirajane, Afina, Kascha?

[Corwin]

Jaela goes down the hole, relying on blindsight to warn of of anything that doesn't show to her regular eye.

Edit: Sure, second is also fine.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru leaps to take the lead, flying down the hole and forgetting his job as rear guard in his excitement! He eagerly takes in the new place, looking for anything interesting or surprising!

[Anastasia]

Down and down you go. 20ft? 30ft? Something like that. It leads to a simple archway into a much larger chamber. You stand at that archway, seeing the room is 30ft wide and 120ft long. At the end of the room sits another gaudy treasure chest. But 100ft ahead of the party stands a guardian, preventing you from easily taking it. A massive construct of gleaming dark adamantine, something you have just seen: an adamantine golem.
