"Yes, let us proceed," Garadh agrees. Readjusting the pack on his back and keeping one hand near the grip of his flail, he turns and follows Thuk down the stairs, but stops when Cid asks who should take point.

Dark eyes turn on Thuk, evincing the most subtle hints of insult. "I do not know "lead," but I will go first." Through her movements it's clear she's bothered by her injury but is ignoring it. She gives a last long examination of the room and silently descends down the steps.

Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, the party leaves the charred book behind and begins their descent down towards the next lower level of the tower. They find themselves having to stop short, however.
A trickle of seawater runs down the staircase. The wooden stairs are rotten in places and in one case they've fallen through altogether. Passage will require vaulting the seven foot gap to a wooden platform elevated from the floor.
The wooden stairs shelter a trio of small alcoves. In each alcove are small figurines: hand-painted fetishes carved from ivory and decorated with hair and small beads. The first nook holds a fierce-looking barbarian, the second a pair of snarling panthers, and the last a somber knight.

Before trying to jump the gap, Garadh goes over to inspect the alcoves, checking out the barbarian first. He bends to inspect the figure and extends a hand gingerly into the alcove.

Passing his hand into the alcove has no ill effects. It is difficult to make out the barbarian in the dim light, unless someone would like to light a torch or lantern of pick it up in order to get more of the upstairs candlelight to shine onto it.

Thuk can make out that the figurine looks pretty well detailed. The barbarian face is almost mockingly grim with an over-exaggerated scowl and a tight-two fisted grip on a broad-headed war axe. He wears a loin cloth and a head band holding back his long hair. Otherwise he is overly muscled. The only other feature that stands out is a small sapphire-colored gem embedded in the center of his forehead, standing out like a twinkling star in the otherwise pewter-toned body.

Thuk believes everything looks just fine. No trouble here.
