Round 4

As Jeane's violet light dances across the gate entrance, her eyes scan the runes with a practiced intensity, and her fingers weave intricate patterns in the air. The wooden wedge, now freed from its hiding place beneath the moss, catches the faint rune, and Varrika's lever lifts it just enough to expose the hidden spike pit, yet the rune's tension keeps the spikes from springing. Jeane's voice rises above the silence as she intones, her words a testament to her focus on magical analysis, "This trap is older than the tower itself—necromantic work, likely bound to that gate's runes." The air shimmers with dark energy as her spell activates, and the runes flare into brief visibility along the plate's edges and deeper in the stone beneath it.
