Girgal concentrates on Bevin, the dwarf hears Girgal in his mind: "Perhaps this is a trick. The mouths of the statues don't move. Per haps the 'prisoners' are mages."

Bevin looks at Girgal and nods. He then points inside the cave, indicating that some one of them should slip inside and deal with whomever is there, and, to provide a distraction to cover the sounds of their movement, Bevin begins speculating in a loud voice about what manner of stone the statues are made, as he walks to the opposite side of the cave from which they will approach. (If they take my hint.) "Yes, you see, stonework is in my very blood! I am very interested in what manner of stone can be imbued with such life! You almost never see any granite that can generate much of a pulse for very long, but, now feldspar! Ah, there's a stone of life!"

Girgal, using Bevin's distraction, tries to move silent and unseen into the cave.

Rajah is not very stealthy and rather than attempt with disastrous results, he'll attempt to aid Bevin's distraction. He directs Razor to go investigate the caves, invisibly, and see if hidden threats lie in wait.

"Aye, master dwarf. Although the stonework is not in my blood such as yourself, the arcane is my area of expertise and in all of my studies and travels have never seen such stones as these. In fact, if it would be permissable a great stone creations, perhaps you'd allow me to study you? You are truly fascinating" Rajah says, in an equally loud voice.

"ABSOLUTELY, my Dear Rajah!! The more eyes that we have to obvserve this, the better. Please, sir, join me here as quickly as you can," continues Bevin is his "outside voice."

"Very well, mortals. You may look upon us, but do not speak!" a statue 'says'. "For we wish to study creatures of flesh who stand still like silent stones."

Girgal sneaks into the shadowed cave, which looks to be only about 20' deep. He notes the figure moving around behind the drums.; he does not see anyone else. The cave man does not seem to have noticed him.

Bevin watches Girgal out of the corner of his eye, and swallows hard at the statue's words. "GULP!" Bevin suppresses his trepidation and waits to see what happens next.

Rajah stands as still as the skeletons that haven't received a command from him, he has an air of cool, almost unnaturally calm as he awaits the rocks to be satisfied.

Aram shakes his head at the others and descends into the bowl. He moves to investigate the statues himself, while the others examine the cave.

'I only saw one man in there...' he mindspeaks to the others.
Then he tries to cast magic undetected.
