[/sblock]While the scouts are clearing the room of traps and having returned the crowbar to his pack, Morrolan takes a very close look at the statue.
He suggests, "When you have finished checking the doors for traps, I will open them one by one, going counter clockwise starting with the northern one."
<<Taking a 20 for Search Check = 27 on the statue.>>

[sblock=Feats&Flaws]
Spell Focus (enchantment)(1st)
Nymph's Kiss(bonus human)
[sblock]Book of Exalted Deeds, pg. 44
By maintaining an intimate relationship with a good-aligned fey
(such as a nymph or dryad), you gain some of the characteristics
of fey.
Benefit: Fey creatures regard you as though you were fey. You
gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Charisma-related checks,
and a +1 bonus on all saving throws against spells and spell-like
abilities. Starting with the level when you take this feat, you
gain 1 extra skill point per level.[/sblock]
Stealthy (campaign bonus, +2/+2 only)
Deft Hands (campaign bonus, +2/+2 only)
Unsettling Enchantment (3rd)
[sblock]Complete Mage, pg. 48
Your enchantment spells cloud the minds of even those who
would otherwise resist their effects.
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (enchantment) or enchanter
level 1st.
Benefit: Any foe required to save against an enchantment
spell you cast takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and to AC for
1 round, regardless of the result of the save. This is a mindaffecting
effect.
Special: An enchanter can select this feat as a wizard
bonus feat.[/sblock]
Silent Spell(beguiler 5th)
Touch of Distraction (6th)
[sblock]Complete Mage, pg. 48
Your touch briefly clouds the mind of a foe, impeding its
efforts.
Prerequisite: Ability to cast 3rd-level spells.
Benefit: As long as you have an enchantment spell of 3rd
level or higher available to cast, you can cloud the mind of a
creature within 30 feet as a standard action. The target takes
a -2 penalty on its next single attack roll or Reflex saving
throw. If the target makes no attacks or Reflex saves within
a number of rounds equal to the level of the highest-level
enchantment spell you have available to cast, the effect ends.
Multiple uses of this feat don't stack. This is an enchantment
(compulsion), mind-affecting effect.
As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus to
your caster level when casting enchantment spells.[/sblock]
Still Spell(beguiler 10th)
Rapid Metamagic (9th)
[sblock]Complete Mage, pg. 46
You possess an uncanny mastery of your magic, enabling you
to modify spells on the fly much faster than others can.
Prerequisites: Spellcraft 12 ranks, ability to spontaneously
cast spells.
Benefit: When you apply a metamagic feat to a spontaneously
cast spell, the spell takes only its normal casting
time.
Normal: Spontaneous casters applying metamagic must
either take a full-round action (if the spell normally requires
a standard action or less) or add a full-round action to the casting
time (if the spell takes 1 full round or longer to cast).[/sblock]

Everyone starts to either search for traps, magic, or keeps watch. So they are all only slightly surprised when a feminie voice fills the air.
The words are old and the language to dead to be even remotely translatable, but the tone is something else. A warning or perhaps a challenge?
The odd thing is it comes from the statue in the center of the room and yet Renard can detect no magic in the area at all.
[sblock=OOC] Your characters feel that they are being warned away, "Or else" LOL
please let me know if you intend to stay and search or if you ready an action of any kind. [/sblock]

Aden whirls around, raising his crossbow in the direction of the statue, while, at the same time, taking two steps towards the door, preparing to cover a retreat. "Who are you? We mean no harm to those who have no business with the living... " he raises his rusty voice. To the others, he whispers "Stay? Leave?" uneasily guarding the door.
[sblock=OOC]
Aden will delay his action waiting for the others reactions (and, perhaps, later initiative checks).

After the voice speaks, Morrolan decides to run his conversation telepathically through Fafnir to the others, just in case the voice can overhear them.
He suggests, "Well, if we stay and explore here, it really depends on what we hope to gain. We left the sarcophagi alone, perhaps we should just move on."

The group exits the strange room with the starnge statue and closes the broken door as best they can. The set themselves and after allowing Aden and Dargun (accompanied by Fafnir), they head for the stairs.
The steps are well worked stone and after proven safe by the rogue the group starts down them.
The graves are cut into the walls like shelves in a pantry, and the bodies are unceremoniously piled within. The only exit is an opening to the west.
