Vrealk grins and cracks his knuckles. "Me look at the door first. Everyone step back; me doesn't want anyone to get hurt."
Vrealk will take 20 while looking over the door for traps and such, for a result of 31.
The Door seems to hold no magic, nor does it seem to harbor any traps. It is however very old and very heavy. It takes the combined might of most of the group to start it swinging inward on old and tarnished hinges. It echos with a loud grown as it gives way to spill into the room beyond.
The chamber seems to be a temple with a sand-covered floor. The room shows signs of damage, with cracks running across the floors, walls, and ceiling. In the center looms a huge and horrific many-tentacled creature apparently frozen in a shell of translucent minerals. A single line of runes is carved into the northern face of a low stone pedestal on which this immense monster seems to have been frozen.The words are in the very same tongue that first brought you down the hidden stairway.
N'Djamena checks for magical auras again.
"Be wary of those runes," he suggests. "Perhaps they are holding this monster prisoner. It would be best not to disturb them."
"Markhet wonders if this is the point were people say "you were right Markhet we should have never doubted you, you are as smart as you are adorable*" or not?"
*Markhet deepens her voice at the quoted bit, clearly attempting to mimic one of the male PCs, but if that's N'Djamena or Kelden remains a mystery.
"This is so out of my league. We can't risk waking this thing up." Kelden steps out of the room.
"If there is a danger beneath this building, it is better to know and be forewarned than to be ignorant and unpleasantly surprised one day. Praise Nethys for revealing this secret to our eyes!"
Vrealk examines the statue without touching it, but only after N'Djamena checks for magic first.

Ayish stays standing in the door way. Ready to give aid to her fellows...but also ready to run from the weird thing within the room.
Shamed by N'Djamena's words, Kelden begins to cautiously, tentatively approach the encased monstrosity. "I suppose ...we should ...at least ... look into ... it.

"Pa-leeeeze," Markhet scoffs at N'Djamena's words, "There could be danger in every hollowed out stump. It doesn't mean Markhet should stick her tiny arm inside to find out. Sometimes discovering that there's a hornets nest isn't worth the pain of finding out. Markhet wonders if this discovery is going to sting us now."
When Vrealk stepped near the Stature, it shatters with a thunderous roar, the thine layer of glistening substance holding back the beast hits the floor, the walls and the party as so much shrapnel. The beast is now lose with its tentacles waving and its beaked maw snapping!

"Markhet believes there will be much apologizing to a certain gnome and lion should we survive this," Markhet says as she casts produce flame.
"Damn!" is all Vrealk manages. He takes a double move to get in back of the thing so that he can flank with someone else.

Ayish raises her voice to inspire others.
Wait to see what the monster does before posting Celena's actions.
As Ndjamerna steps back farther into the hallway to prepares to cast, the thing drags its way from the platform and attacks the two within the doorway. The thing lashes out with five of its tentacles at Ayish, only two landing blows and grabbing the bard to drag her into the room and toward its beaked maw. The other five lash out at kelden, four of which hit him, but he manages to stay from the things grasp.

"Don't worry Ayish! Markhet and Larrs will save you!"
