Two-part question for an encounter under construction:
Picture a maze-like environment where characters can either follow the "maze" - and be safe from it (though not necessarily safe from nearby enemies or other effects) - OR they can move right through it and suffer some effect or penalty from passing through. For the sake of argument, say that the "maze" is made up of Prismatic Walls (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/p/prismatic-wall) (not the actual encounter I am working on, but it gets the idea across).
Q1) What would be the top movement speed through such an environment if one follows the maze? (Lots of left-turn, right-turn, etc...). I think this would be Tactical Movement (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/exploration-movement#TOC-Tactical-Movement) (you move your base speed per round) perhaps with the Hampered modifier.
Q2) If the "maze" were invisible, or not immediately perceptible, and a creature makes a move into it, how far would their momentum carry them once they realized they were in a hazardous area? (I assume this would change based on the movement at the time of entry; for example charging would carry one farther into the hazard than a single 30 ft move action).
Thanks in advance.
