Hornets, and Weretigers, and Levers! Oh My!

Selvin and Izzick , the door swings open.

Beyond is a larger room, about thirty by thirty feet. You are entering from the south. To the west, an open archway leads into another large room, the details of which you can not make out from here. To the north, is a door leading who knows where. But you could probably ask Zuni and Chandanar, because they are standing in the northern doorway, looking at you.

Of more immediate concern however is the interior decorating of the room right before you. From floor to ceiling, every surface is decorated in a busy, almost deafening mosaic depicting a swarm of hornets.

Zuni, The door to the south swings open and there are Selvin and Izzick . There is a glowing woman with them, holding the half orc's hand.

Chandanar waves at them. And now that everyone is all together, I will reveal the identity of the killer! He blinks at you all. What? Then he gestures at the glowing woman holding Izzick's hand. Uhhh...no one told me we could bring girlfriends.

Zuni let out a relaxed sigh as she saw her missing companions framed in the door on the other side of the room.  It was good to see them both safe.  She stood, a smile on her face and took a step...

...and quickly pulled her foot back before she touched the floor.  "Selvin!  Izzick!  Don't enter the room!" She shouted and raised up a hand to stop them.  "It's trapped.  The hornets come to life."

Zuni was about to continue but the glowing woman caught her attention.  The woman was glowing, which was not something that she saw every day, and Zuni could not help but stare at her with a mix of curiousity and wonder.

Selvin hesitated and wanted to reach out to slowly touch Chandanar and Zuni. They could be illusions...but he doubted it. That would be something someone had created very recently. So instead of being paranoid, he grinned at them. "HI! Man, it's good t'see ya both again! This place sucks!"

He looked around at the new room they found themselves in, chuckling at Chandanar's comment. "Yeah, this is why we don't put on rings we haven't gotten identified yet, RIGHT?"

He looked at the mosaic. "That looks....disturbin'." He glanced at the doorways. "Uhh...which one have you NOT gone through yet?"

Izzick stopped nearly as soon as they entered the room, offering to the cleric, "Feel free to take her off my hands when you can," though Zuni's warning made him wince a little, the halforc biting his lip between his tusks. That was the last thing he wanted to hear while wearing this thing. And he hoped the newly wed attached to him didn't get any funny ideas.

Not sure if it's ok to explain, but to sum it up: the woman is the projection of a cursed Ring of Trap-setting off...RIP

Selvin stopped before he entered at Zuni's warning. He looked down at the floor for a moment and then back up at her. "Is it stepping on the floor? Cause I can fly." He glanced back at Izzick with a frown. "Hmm. Not sure I can carry you an' still fly. I don't have Fly as a spell either."

He looked over at Zuni, "Well, we can't jus' stand here, an' I don't really wanna go back the way we came. Whaddya suggest?"

"...take her off his..." Zuni said softly, her attention still focussed on the glowing woman.  The questions brought her out of her musings with a snap.  "...uh...right...I think that there's a path through the room that might be safe.  I was just about to give it a try.  If you're coming through there and we're here, then the only place to go is through to that room off to the side."

Trying to remember where she saw the path, Zuni started to slowly step across the floor.  "...better not go off...hate to lose that wine..."
