Team Lake
The mercenary resisted Darius' attempt to spike his mind, either from sheer luck, or from training to resist that sort of attack. Darius, like Shade-9, observed the transporter, but from where he was, he could not get a good enough look at the runes inside the structure, but he had seen them flash a pattern as the cultists arrived.
Then it flashed again. Darius could see the pattern in the runes even through the moonbeam spell, which dazzled and burned the new arrivals - two cultists who appeared to be of higher ranking in the cult, or at least wealthier, with more tattoos, symbols, jewelry and accessories than the others. In addition, he could see that they wore light chainmail under their robes. But it wasn't the cultists that caught his attention the most - it was the arcane runes that had
not shone when the others had. Perhaps he could alter the pattern, either lock this location or change it so that it routed access to another transporter.
Unfortunately, he would need to get next to the thing and be able to safely reach inside of it.
Suddenly and without warning, there was a deep growl that seemed to come from every crack in the mountain, and the whole place shook. The muddy bank vibrated such that all footprints liquified and flattened. Stalactites fell from above and plunged into the lake, further causing the bank to become awash with water.

Two Cult Fanatics transported in, and were hit by the moonbeam (one saved), then I finally remembered to catch you up to the handover of the first Idol, which if you recall, caused a minor earthquake. I'll have to remember to do it for Team Infiltrate, too!
