That... feels like a lie to Alicia. But it's what her senses are telling her.

"Let me then," she murmurs, trying to open the door since Syala's divination is no longer supplying answers.

The door sears your hand - but opens, a surge of power from it. You weather the pain of it and stand true, as beyond is a simple drop, a drop into an seemingly endless abyss.

66 points of vile fire damage that pierces immunity and resistance.

"Wasn't anything holy about that," Alicia says, withdrawing her hand and looking at the door to see if it still seems to be a beacon of holy power to her senses.

It feels like nothing at all now - the door is open.

"Trickery," Antenora declares, "Nothing but trickery."

"Did you get a look at the door yourself Antenora?" she asks, curious to see if her power of truth might have better seen through the lie at play.

"It's a lie," Antenora says, "I didn't notice until it hurt you, but I can see it now. It's wrong, so very wrong," She gives it a look of disgust before she turns away. "A lie that's almost true."

"That's what we're looking for," Syala agrees, peering down.

"And what about this pit?" she asks Antenora.

How deep is it? Deeper than five miles?

Yes. It seems to go on endlessly, as far as you can see.

"It's...real," Antenora says, "I don't feel the same thing from it."

"It's deeper than I can sense," Alicia says.

What else can she sense with her tremorsense/blindsight within 5 miles? Do other parts of the fortress extend down that far? Can I intuit for myself what might make sense as a throne room elsewhere in case Syala's find the path got spoofed from the start and this is a false lead?

Nothing. It's still - the fortress drops off after about half a mile or so. There is a throne room, this one on the far side of the castle.

"The throne room's on the far side of the fortress from here, I think so anyway... when you used find the path, what exactly did you set as your target Syala?" Alicia asks, lingering over the hole.

"A path to 666," Syala answers, "Of course, it could just be another lie."

Kascha kneels at the edge and looks, "Unfortunately, it could be true, but take us to a part of it we don't want to go to."

"It could be a lie," Antenora agrees, "We may need to make a leap of faith."

She did say the throne room when she asked Syala to cast it.

"I think it's probably a lie," Alicia says. "Whereas we can hopefully trust Kina-ja's memories. This is probably here to mislead anyone reliant on simple divinations, so lets change our course."

She works out a path based on what she can discern of the castle's layout and activity within it that they can use to reach the throne room without running into demons or the like and then leads them off.

It's not too hard - the back parts are generally abandoned. No demons war here, despite the sounds of it from outside. As you go...
