Autumn climbs up the net; it doesn't go all the way to the door and she is forced to reach for the edge and pull herself up. Her first view of the room gives the impression that kobolds do not come here. There is dust and dirt but very little of the debris and general mess that has been common in their living quarters.
As Aelspeth pulls herself up to join Autumn, they hear a sound. At first it is a quiet rattle as if someone jiggled a pan. Then it happens again, and again, but louder and prolonged. When Rak'tan pulls himself up into the room the sound can be clearly heard by everyone, even Arradon below.
Rak'tan looks around but sees nothing that might indicate that the apprentice he is seeking is here or has ever been in this room. The rattle happens again but this time it is accompanied by a faint glimmer: an image of commonfolk working in a kitchen, pans rattling on tables and in the fireplace. The image is oriented so that the people are standing on the actual floor, perpendicular to the group and a bit disorienting.
Suddenly, pans, people, knives, kitchen debris fly from the floor to the ceiling (wall to wall, by the characters' experience) pelting everyone with phantom images. It doesn't feel like a phantom as a turnip strikes Rak'tan a glancing blow on the cheek. He turns and his armor manages to block the rest of the debris.
Aelspeth and Autumn aren't so lucky. Aelspeth is pelted by a flight of knives and receives numerous cuts as they pass. One stabs deep into her arm. Autumn is hit by a heavy pot and splashed with boiling water. And then silence. The images and noise vanish though the injury caused by the phantoms do not. Aelspeth and Autumn are shocked by the suddenness and violence of the phantom and stand in uncertainty a moment before they can muster up their will to act.
After a moment of silence, a pot begins to rattle...

Aelspeth's face is devoid of emotion as she looks down at the massive boning knife that stabbed deep into her arm, just below the elbow, its tip poking out the other side. An alien buzzing sensation crawls around inside her skull. She is struck with some sort of awe, yet she feels remote, somehow distant from the room. She raises her uninjured arm, touches the edge of the wound. Something slippery and red smears all around beneath her touch. How queer.
Darwin, huddled inside the sash on the wizard's back, is assaulted by alternating waves of pain, fear, and nausea. The empathic link between him and his mistress transfers what the elf would feel, were she not in tremendous shock. He jumps up onto Aelspeth's shoulder and looks down at the wound.
