Got it. No pits or snares are found, then Cara will turn around and watch
the party's back. Of course, those snares and pits could also be magically
hidden.

Just in case, check for pits and snares, and give it a good look using Bat
Sense. Then look behind in case something pops out there.

Alga does not sense anything that shifts. He can't get a good reading on
valuable metals.

Besides the plethora of party magic, only the still warm
bracelet that Ozor wore detects as magical. Plus the darkness and Xander's
new continual light.

She casts the last of her Detect Magic spells.

Ozor goes first, but somehow Ahearn is missed
(must be his mother). Ahearn grabs up his sword from the ground and still
hits twice. Sean misses with Alga (who doesn't detect any valuables or
sliding rooms - he will blame the miss on being asked to concentrate on
those other things instead of killing the nasty creature before him).
However, Sean will score a hit with the torch which does some nasty damage
and breaks up Ozor's chanting changing it to screaming.
Hagar, clearly the master warrior, somehow makes a
nearly perfect thrust into Ozor as well. Xander will cast a continual light
onto the ceiling which seems to help.
The continual light must have done the trick. In
the following round, The party again goes first. Ahearn will hit twice,
Sean does more fire damage, and Hagar adds what might be the final thrust.
Ozor falls burning. The flames will consume him unless someone purposely
puts him out.
Beyond him, there is another 25 foot of slightly
wider passage, unlit, but no longer magically dark. Lots of runes, that for
some reason the dice gods say Cara has no problem reading generally
thanking Bune for knowledge and power. There is a heavy stone door cut into
the end of the passage. The runes on the door state, "The master of the
runes concealed here runes of power. Disturbing them will bring maleficence
and insidious death to he who breaks or unseals this door. The prophecy of
destruction will call on legions of the dead and devils"
Actions?
