Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deuce Traveler" data-source="post: 3722279" data-attributes="member: 34958">Phly looks at Dartis in surprise as he mentions the secret hall that the Fey had spoke.  "I would not trust the words of the Fey, but still let us see if there is any truth to this," the gnome suggests.  "It's late now and we can investigate without rousing too many concerns from the elders."  The gnome leaves you to finish your drinks as he goes and fetches a tool-kit and then comes back in order to lead you to the main hall that the last of the gnomish defenders stood in front of during the goblin and gnoll attacks.Alongside each of the side walls of this large chamber are tall statues of notable gnomish heroes and leaders from the clan's beginnings.  As you walk further down the hall you see that the condition of the statues grows more weathered the closer you walk to the opposite end.  When you arrive at the final statue you see that unlike the others it rests against the narrower wall opposite of the entrance and faces towards your approach.  The features of this gnome leader is no longer discernable as time has caused much of the face to crumble.  Phly explains apologetically that the statue is more than two thousand years old.  The five foot statue stands on a square platform that is another five feet in height, bringing the entire structure to ten feet in its entirety.  The robed gnome appears to be shouting at something with his left hand upraised as if he was commanding someone's attention or perhaps ordering someone to stop.  In his right hand is a stone sceptre of authority, but moved slightly back as if prepared to be used as a club rather than as a symbol of respect.   Phly grumbles to himself as he pulls out a small hammer and beats around the wall and statue, testing for hints of a passage, but also looking back towards the party as if hoping that they might have an idea of what to do next.</blockquote>
