Round 6

As Jeane's light spell illuminated the ash-choked cobblestones, a faint, pulsing glow appeared beneath the third stone from the left, revealing an old pressure plate hidden in the debris. Sister Hale stepped forward, her worn boots finding purchase on the stones, and cut through the tension with her voice like cold steel: "Hold." Her gaze shifted to Silra, ordering her to maintain a wide light radius.

Silra's eyes darted around the guard formation, her voice low and urgent as she pointed out their commander's focus on the party. The pressure plate itself might be avoidable if they cleared a path along the stone edges. With a flick of her wrist, Jeane's hand guided Silra's attention to the safest stones, creating a narrow path through the ash.
