"Proceed, Sir! My Gnome buddy and I will watch from comparative safety back here." Logan takes a high knee, sits Grackle on that knee, and ruffles his hair.

Garagos lays about with his axe. The statues are very menacing and 9 feet tall with dangerous looking weapons. They all radiate both magic and evil. However, none of them animates or otherwise resists the thrashing handed out by the adamantine axe wielding dwarf. He wrecks all the large black iron artwork, but it does require considerable effort. The statues are large and well made leaving Garagos sweating and breathing hard, but the work is well done. One surprise is revealed. The final statue destroyed, the one in the northwestern corner, was concealing a pull ring in the floor.

"Huff, huff... I will join the gnome and the cleric. Then you can investigate this pull ring." Garagos explains breathing heavily. Then he joins Logan and Grackle, his axe ready to stop the door, if it swings suddenly closed.
"That was loud.......hurt Grackle's ears...." the gnome complains, as Logan sets him back down. The Admiral had retreated into Grackle's haversack, but the gnome pulls him out now to see that the Very Bad Room is now full of broken stuff.
"Still not go in Very Bad Room.........Grackle doesn't wanna be un-magicked!"
