while paladin discuss the options Atlas simply step on a tile. The moment Atlas steps one the first magical tile everyone hear an adult male voice announcing
Remember, wizard takes paths least expected. We are improvisation experts.

You also notice that the plan growth disappeared from the tile Atlas stepped, but still persist on every other tile

Did the plant growth disappear on all tiles of the similar type or just the one I stepped on

I wonder if the rules change with each announcement or simply get refined? Maybe you need to step on tiles not present on the last row, so jump to the eagle? Or perhaps don't repeat your animals. Unicorn, giraffe, beetle, dragonfly, eagle, tiger, monkey, and.... jump?

What does any PC do?
If players struggle to come up with an action or just don't want to do this puzzle encounter at all I can roll and intelligence check and drive your PC through this puzzle or even skip it.
Please talk to me

Given the benefit of Magic duly detected, our turami Paladin steps lightly but confidently. Striding along the northern line of tiles.
Here we go, she exclaims. Careful that WE part, Seelah!
OOC:
Northeastern most tile, and walking straight across, due West.

The illusory plan growth disappeared from the tile Paladin stepped (L1) same way as it happened with Atlas' (L4)



But the moment Seelah steps on the next plate you hear the voice "You have failed the challenge! Proceed to escape route immediately! Hurry!"
And following happens simultaneously:
- All plant illusions restored
- 4 doors: two on each side wall wall start opening slowly/mechanically (see red markers)
OOC:
You have 6 seconds (one combat turn worth of action/movement) before doors will stop opening and something happen. Please make your turn everyone


Bajaz steps back Sounds like warning of sorts
OOC:
Bajaz dodge, move 20 feet back (east)

Annoyed as this overly dramatic test Pinmel hovers in the middle of the room, backing up from the wall and orb and decitigrates the wall blocking out way forwards.

Oh…well,…
What follows is paladinic expletive. Seelah clearly exasperated at her literal missteps!
Our turami Paladin steps off the grid, and readies her sword. Things ‘bout to get real.

Everything happens fast/simultanously:
- Pin backs up and cast his spell
- Atlas flies toward crystal ball ant try to grab it
- Seelah backs to the edge of tiled floor, while Bajaz backs even more
- Doors continue to open revealing nothing but a black wall behind them

The moment Atlas try to grab crystall ball, Atlas disappears, doors slowly stop opening and start closing, but before they close a dart is shot from a tiny hidden holes in the walls behind the doors


OOC:
Assuming Seelah dodge disadvantage to hit Paladin. Looks like just one hit Pin. I need a CON save DC 15 from PIN to half poison damage
Piercing damage:2
Poison damage: 7 (or 3 on con save DC 15)
3 Darts fly toward Pin, and one at Seelah (from the door closer to Seelah), just before doors close and everything is quite.
Seelah was ready and avoid the dart. Pin only dodge 2 of them, one finds it's way through the armor and although the dart is but scratch , poison is annoying.

Rolls

Secret Roll

Darts to hit Pin - (1d20+5, 1d20+5, 1d20+5)

1d20+5 : (18) + 5 = 23

1d20+5 : (8) + 5 = 13

1d20+5 : (7) + 5 = 12

Darts to hit Seelah - (2d20L1+5)

(152) + 5 = 7

Finally you see a hole made in the far wall and a daylight coming from the hole into the walkway illuminate the floor and you notice (if not immediately then after a moment) that all illusory plants restored on all tiles.

It doesn't take even a minute before Atlas appear from behind Bajaz, explaining that Crystal ball did a teleportation to the entrance

OOC:
Based on feedback from other party I'm going to hint you through this puzzle. You just figured out that touching the ball teleport person away and reset the puzzle to initial state. You have a second attempt.
The hole Pin made in the wall exit to the surface of the isle. You have a shortcut !

Feeling more comfortable with two ways out Pinmel moves to the entrance side of the tiles and attempts to walk across as follows

Rolls

Con - Save DC 15 - (1d20+7)

(20) + 7 = 27

And as he reach the last one (8) you hear again
"You have failed the challenge! Proceed to escape route immediately! Hurry!"

This time you all make sure to keep your distance, but Pin touches the sphere to rest the room.
OOC:
Anyone want try again?

This time warning message does not follow and doors stay closed, but nothing else happen. You see 1234567 have lost the plant growth thus showing your "path"
OOC:
I'll give you few more hours time to try solve this puzzle before Bajaz will hint you to the right solution.

Immediately upon stepping on E1 the voice announce Good job, proceed to next level and a piece of floor between crystal ball and tiles transforms into stairs leading downstairs.
