    While everyone is being very polite at the entrance to the stairwell, Othegre takes a closer look at the painting on the wall of the Statue room, any setting it's in and, if applicable, what's behind it (both on the wall and the back of the painting.

    OCC : Might be no harm to take it on the way out to show the village. But if a situation arises somewhere upstairs where hiding behind an unrolled painting of the Dark Lord is the only hope of escape I'll be kicking myself later...

    Bandylegs looks puzzled.

    'Bear? If you're referring to Betty, she'll be at the back of the group looking after our arses.'

    "You people should bring your horses into the statue room. When we have all the horses in, we can close that slab of a door. I'd hate to come back and find Menace had become troll food and pieces of my cart are strewn all over that canyon." Ekbard leads Menace and the cart into the statue room. "Settle down there Menace, you'll be safe here"

    Ekbard explains to anybody who is interested, "To close the door, we need to empty the alcoves of weight. Then we can prime the switch by putting orcs back into all but one alcove. When all alcoves have weight in them again, the door opens. Simples, ehh?"

    "What if that reactivates the statues though? I'd rather our escape route was left clear."

    'Aye, Bandylegs agrees with the young 'un. Unless there's a noble one willing to sacrifice themselves on the way out by removin' the orc and sealing themselves in. And I can tell ye now, it won't be Bandylegs.'

    Edbard removes the Orc corpse from the closest alcove to him.

    Bandylegs wheels around in shock, drawing his weapon in case of danger.

    'Ekbard, are ye mad or just insane? How are we goin' to fight statues with your horse and cart in the middle of the room!'

    OOC: :pac:

    Othegre - still standing over at the painting - holds the statues' eyes over her own and bellows
    "BEGONE FROM MY TOMB, INSOLENT TEEN PEST!"
    then remembers they're worth a fair bit and puts them back in her pocket.

    Using her indoor voice, she asks the Dwarf to check the other side of the door that seals the stairway for a way to open it, so as to safeguard any horses in the Statue room from anything that might be downstairs.

    "As for our escape, if anything is chasing us, and we make it back to this room," ekbard points, "see that slab over there, just let it fall back into place and i'm guessing those staircase doors will close again, buying us some breathing space."

    OOC : speaking of statues, any XP for Ekbard and I for not getting killed and snarfing those gems? Also, if we ring Harry out like a wet rag can we get some of that speed potion back from him?
    OOC: Yes, but you'll need to get it out of the tomb first. Speed would still be in Goodie, if you consume his raw flesh within an hour.

    Nothing of note beneath the benches.

    Bandylegs again peers into the room with the spiral staircase and looks up and down, scanning as far as he can with his infravision. He also checks the walls to the left and right for any sign of switches as per Othegre's request.

    OOC: Not sure if you saw this Fourier so I'll repost :)

    [OOC: Right?]
    OOC: Not as well as you would if you examine the room yourself. Unless they follow you as you go around the room.

    The painting depicts Tumuz in front of a burning Soetrard centuries ago. In the distance his brother rides a demon of incredible size. Lifting the painting a bit of the wall Othegre finds a scroll, the magical writing is impenetrable.

    No switches appear to be on the walls.

    The stair case below has no signs of heat, it is somewhat cooler than the current room and the stairs seem to descend only a short distance to the floor below.

    The stairs ascending lead to a warmer room, the heat patterns are familiar to BandyLegs as those of sun warmed wood.

    Bandylegs relays this information back to the party.
    'Upstairs first is it? Elin, if ye would be a doll and check out the stairs before we leave.'

    Bandylegs tries his best to spot any traps on the stairs.

    Bandylegs sighs.

    'Aye. Might as well begin lads and lassies. What say you Ekbard?'

    Bandylegs tentatively steps inside the room with the spiral staircase and tests the first step going up.

    Othegre gingerly takes the scroll, acutely aware that the painting is probably going to come to life and drag her into the painting and crush her like a grape. Not for the first time she tries to remember the guys who were on the cart earlier - did they sell them in town?

    Since everyone is still hanging around in the statue room she runs back outside the door of the tomb, raises the statue eye gems to the sky and cries "DIBS....IBs....ibs..." just in case there's no echo and then heads back inside.

    She leads Clipclop to whichever room everyone is leaving their horses in, mimes an X with her arms and then grinds an invisible stripper. A further gesture reminds the horse that she'll be watching.

    She takes her place in the 2nd row

    The stairs appear to be in good order to Goodie.

    BandyLegs's foot lands onto the first step and nothing happens.
