Aeshen gets out various small mechanical tools and approaches the statue carefully, not touching it for the longest time as he examines it. He pokes at bits he finds interesting with small pieces of wire and metal, attempts to lever open a fine crack with a thin blade and even attempts to scrape off a bit of stone before giving up.

"It doesn't seem to be a trap. I can't tell how this affected the ratling how it did, if it did at all."

He shrugs, with a "what now" air.
 

Mata looks around at the rest of the party. "Lets move on then, before Master Kunstler decides we are taking to long and starts developing elaborate ways to express his displeasure." Despite the dour nature of the comment she still has a big smile on her face at the thought of heading further in.
 


With a grunt, Mairan hefts her weapon and leads the way down the corridor to the east. After 15 feet, the group comes upon a staircase sloping down for 20 feet. The party's lights do not reveal what lies in the room below.
 

Pushing her hair back to reveal a pointed ear, Valana cocks her head, trying to catch any sounds coming from below.

"OK," she says, moving carefully down the staircase in the lead. The group arrives on the ground floor without incident.

Flickering green torchlight on the far side of this tall room silhouettes a massive barrier of some kind which appears to divide the room. The smell of trash and refuse is beginning to grow stronger. A faint smell of rotting flesh also taints the air.

The room is 25 foot wide from north to south, with a staircase leading back up to the west, in the southwest corner. The barricade is 20 feet to the east of the group, and stretches from the north wall to the south.
