It is indeed trapped. Anyone without the proper magical token will be immolated in searing flames, big time.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

She really should've brought her orb, but there's such a thing as not traveling into enemy territory with all of your sacred treasures.

Thus, Seira forms a scroll of Hindsight with divine creation and then activates it to observe the past! Someone must have traveled through these doors recently, and she can just see what sort of key was used then.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

They have. It's worn around the neck - a great orb of red glass with flame inside.

Corwin

Have any of the azer I subdued down below worn it?

Seira forms a passable replica, places it over her neck, and then attempts to disable the trap after making certain no further alarm hides behind it.

Anastasia

Sure, gimme your disable device check.

It's not hard to undo the trap - it's actually well done, you're just better.

Seira steps into the room, covered in her Veil with the extra addition of a fake key hanging from her neck.

Anastasia

You step into a ... chilly room? Below freezing. The incongruity of it momentarily stuns you. For in this room are thousands. Thousands locked in ice. Suffering fire elementals and other creatures of flame. Locked within, faces a rictus of fury, pain and misery. Several metallic golems, large and towering, stand about in regular intervals here.

Corwin

She's not a believer in torture and endless suffering, so she's going to deal with this one way or the other. But the when would depend on whether Seira sees Good creatures imprisoned here, or Imix's old followers who have displeased him somehow.

Anastasia

Alignment scanning or just going over surface appearances, or something else?

Corwin

Perception 120 to see what I spot, so the latter. I'm assuming fire elementals are mostly neutral anyway.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

You see fire elementals, various related para and quasi elementals, fire giants, red dragons, efreet, related mephits, salamanders, azer, fire grues and a smattering of odder things yet.

Seira travels down the room's length, seeing whether there's another exit from it.
