"Let me go with you," Alendar suggests. "I will walk next to you, but facing backward. That way, if those colors appear and try to enchant you, I will be able to carry you out."
As the party lights each torch in the colored lanterns, they are treated to a marvelous sight. Glass and metal chips imbedded in the domed ceiling cast eerie reflections of color about the chamber. While the display is quite stunning, it also makes it hard to concentrate.
Boldak and Alendar climb up to the passage toward the face. As the dwarf warily looks down the hall, with the elf walking backwards with a hand on Boldak's shoulder, it becomes obvious that something has changed. The bas-relief of the large face is still open in a scream, however, where there was before just stone in the face's mouth, now there is an opening to a dark room beyond. A quick check by the dwarf suggests that the pressure plate he tripped before is inoperative now.
