kal'Tarron squeezes up to Baracus' side. "Hold here, I'll see if I can penetrate this barrier" he says, right before stepping onto the stair.
[sblock=ooc]I'll try to walk up the stairs. I assume there is a roll for this, so: going up the stairs (1d20=3) I;m pretty sure I fail miserably, what ever that was against
[/sblock]
kal'Tarron seems to fall prey to what ever affected Baracus...

"If there is a creature up there, I'll see if I can distract it. Grys says as he throws a ball of fire straight up the stairwell.
[sblock=OOC]
I cannot tell from the image if this can be done or not. If so, Grys will cast Scorching Burst. If not, he won't.
I also did not bother with rolls yet. If there is something to hit and damage and Grys needs to make rolls, let me know.

STOP NOW. Mythra commands. From a pocket of his robes he summons his white cat Martha and commands her to go on ahead. She might have trouble seeing, but like him she can use her arcane senses instead of sight.
[sblock=ooc]
Edit: ninja-ed by KarinsDad's post. Martha will go after we see if the ball of fire does anything.
Sending Martha on ahead to scout.
Arcana = 23

Anybody stepping onto the steps feels a shudder of revulsion and momentary unease, an almost physical sensation like cold, clammy fingers in the dark. It passes, though, seemingly without any lasting debilitating effects. Baracus seems to be recovering himself too, standing on his own power again and glaring suspiciously up into the shadows above.
The stairway winds in a tight spiral, leaving Grys unable to get a clear line of sight to the top.
Martha shies away at first, mewling piteously, but after a moment she pads on cautiously up the stone stairs. Mythra gets no signal of alarm or warning from his empathic link with her, and after a minute or two she returns, none the worse for wear. It seems that the way is clear.

The stairway winds its way steeply up for a long way - you are obviously now ascending the spire of the temple. As you near the top you feel hot air in your face from the Cogs outside, and above you you can see the inside of the temple's tall tower rearing vertiginously to a vaulted dome high above. You emerge onto a bare stone floor, square and about twent feet across. On each side there is a large square archway opening out into open space and revealing the hellish vista of slums and forges beyond.
There are bloodstains on the stone slabs, spattering an area as if there was a brutal fight here in the fairly recent past. All of you are conscious of the same disquiet that you felt before, the disturbing sensation that something is reaching out to you like a blind insect extending tendrils to touch and taste its prey.

"I'm thinking the group that came here before us killed each other. Even now it feels like something's trying to worm the way in my head. Mages, can you protect us from such? And can you see anything invisible around?
I suggest nobody approaches the edge without being secured."
With that, goliath takes out huge lichpin/nail and slams it into the stones with Osvetnik. He then fixes the rope on it and wounds it around himself.
"Now, let's see what we have here."
With that, he approaches one archway and looks into the space below.

Without going too close to the edges, kal'Tarron takes a good look around the open area
