The Earth Elementals- if they could see, would see a tiny cave, with a badger in it. The badger is illusory. The cave is illusory. The Elementals can instead sense only a much larger cave. An [Alarm] goes off. A magic mouth on the Illusory Badger shouts "Secret Badger Alert White Stripe! And then, and as they cross the threshold into the main lair, a [Forbiddance] triggers.

The handful of earth elementals Joan-Pau had summoned were clustered around Alexaera to shelter in his sword's aura.

The aura shields some of them. It doesn't help the others. They melt, withering away, their stony flesh crumbling as they pass through the Forbiddance, until finally their construct-bodies have taken enough and the spell sustaining them gives up on it, and they disappear with an inrush of air.

To Joan-Pau - it hurts. But he's an adventurer and an officer, and he's been hurt worse before.

As someone who casts from wisdom, Voshrelka does not take up valuable space around the paladin's aura of spell resistance. So she gets to just eat this Forbiddance directly. It hurts like a bitch, but honestly? She was actually expecting worse. Possibly it's the many buffs the various nobility have dumped on her, she doesn't think she's ever been this well fortified in her life, but still. Kind of surprising. She was pretty sure she'd lost the Evil alignment by now, and it's not like anyone at the convention's mentioned it...

Lisandro also notices that the forbiddance doesn’t zap him as badly as expected. Even factoring in all the buff spells and being in the same general area as a paladin, this is getting hit on one alignment axis not two. He gets his alignment aura checked regularly, though, so he knows it isn’t evil. Does that mean the forbiddance is anarchic-evil.

Makes sense, actually, considering Infernal Cheliax. So he can be a bit proud about it. Here he is, benefiting from being slightly less shaped like an Asmodean hit-squad, compared to presumably most of the Iomedaean hit-squad.

Vidal passes through the iron floor into a tiny earth cave, with a badger in it. It is very dark, and the undead badger is standing perfectly still, eyes aglow.

Ow. Those are some very bright magical auras. Most of them illusion, which means nothing in the room is real. Lisandro just follows the paladin, who presumably will ignore the illusions and be drawn to the strongest evildoer in the same manner as iron and a magnet.

The badgers aren't real, ignore them. Same with the walls -
