Unbeknownst to the group, a vicious trap lay hidden beneath the underbrush, carefully concealed to ensnare the unwary.
As they continued their wary progression, the forest floor beneath them gave way suddenly and violently. The ground crumbled beneath their feet, and with a collective gasp, the group plummeted into a dark abyss.

"We're falling!" Ignis pointed out the obvious.
"It's a trap!" Drakoon added, his voice edged with urgency.
"Hey, leader! Why didn't you warn us?!" Luna complained, frustration evident in her tone.
Sylvan took a deep breath, maintaining a calm demeanor amidst the sudden descent into the unknown. "Not all traps can be detected. This one seems to be more of a curse or a spell than anything else."
