The path ahead is...

'It was more than that. Should you not notice it, you step on it. Should you notice it and fly above, it's set to punish you for that, worse than if you stumbled into it. It's designed to punish competence.' Ianvasah replies.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Hubris, not competence. Most who fly tend to ignore ground based traps assuming they've already defeated them by virtue of flying. It was designed to take advantage of that.'

[Anastasia]

'Yes, but-' Ianvasah says as you go around the bend. A stairway going down is here, plunging sharply deeper into Ash.

[Iron Dragoon]

'One of these again. Let's check it over before going.'

Alyssa looks for traps and tricks!

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Iron Dragoon]

Perception:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 17 + 48, total 65[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

You don't see anything like that.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Don't see any traps. Let's move.'

[Anastasia]

Down the stairs - and as you go down, you feel it again. A gap in the stairs where you see none, a feeling of emptiness.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Another hidden area here...'

Alyssa inspects the area, looking for a trigger or trap or way to open it.

[Anastasia]

Was not great phrasing last time, so restatement.

You can feel it with your blindsight, a gap in the stairs. You don't detect any switch to manipulate the presumed illusion.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Illusion on the stairs there. Assuming a trap.'

Alyssa attempts to teleport them past it!

[Anastasia]

This time nothing happens - something's blocking it, alright.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Teleport is blocked. Let me try to trigger it.'

Alyssa prods it with TK!

[Anastasia]

The 'force' goes right through the illusion, as you'd suspect, nothing solid to support it.
