As soon as Balin's curse rang out, the temple ground crumbled and the previously dark room was now illuminated. It was illuminated all too well. By lava.
The 20- no, 19 squad leaders and Balin all reacted rather quickly. Unfortunately for them, unlike those elementary pitfall traps, the lava trap didn't give them much time.
"""Aaah"" "This burns!" "Damn it!!!!" The squad leaders all had different reactions but most of them were able to handle themselves. Though they had lost their step, they were still able to land into the lava on their two legs. All of them reinforced their body with mana as well allowing them just enough time to minimize their injuries and granting them the time to cast spells or drink potions.
Those that didn't stick the landing didn't do all that well in comparison...
