Fine. I jump through an opening. I assume I can't just break another wall or block the blades open, correct?

(anticipating the whole thing collapsing including the underground part, i want to be far enough away from the house to avoid falling into any sink hole that might be created but yet I don't want to actually go into the fog.  I suggest Grafh follow me as well)(We call out to our comrades to give them a direction to follow)(Given the walls are so thin, we will also throw rocks up at the 3rd floor to make any existing holes bigger)

(All the doors have been replaced with spinning blades, save the "secret" door that lead to the spiral staircase back down to the basement. While the interior walls are rotted and brittle, the exterior walls and bricked up windows appear to be solid and intact)

[Intelligence Check: d20 (3) + 2 = 5]
[Snerp takes 10 slashing damage

But i didnt say I was going to try jumping through them?

I watch the blades and attempt to deduce any such pattern.

(If you make that suggestion in character but unless someone else proposes it Eikka would never even consider going back. Will of Zud and all that.)

I can't see a way through! Break down through the floor. We gotta get to a lower floor so we can get out

I feed the last potion to Luxraxt.

(Honestly we should dash back down and up thru the first floor where roberts and Earth exited if the floor can't be broke thru, or i cant figure out a way thru with the investigation with advantage roll. 

Kindertina could assist me in doing it so we gain an extra d20 for the assist. So 3 total rolls choosing yhe highest cause roll+inspiration+assist?)

I move out into the hallway where Eikka and Lux are and examine the blades in the doorway downstairs to the third floor trying to discern any pattern. I use inspiration if necessary.
