Pulling the brass handle, the door remains closed. Pulling it harder doesn't make it budge any further. It doesn't appear to be locked, as the handle turns easily, but something causes it to be stuck.

Brix looks at the pedestal and cannot help but be reminded of something he once read. There was a story about a tomb raider. In it, there was a room with writings on the wall and none other. The tomb raider had to decipher the writings to get a riddle that would lead them to the location of a button that would reveal the next clue.
Milo peers back into the corridor. As he looks up toward the ceiling, he can see that one of the angels is no longer covering her face. Instead, she has her hands crossed in front of her torso and her eyes closed. It looks as if she is sleeping peacefully.
Milowhispers back into the room "We may have a problem. The statues move. One of them now looks to be sleeping rather than hiding her face." and he stays looking at the statues to watch for further changes, until such a time that something changes in the room behind him where everyone else is.
Hunteros gestures to brix to come over. "I understand you know a little bit of alchemy considering what you brought along? Do you know of any compunds that could break down this door?

Distracted by the puzzle before him, Milo's words go unheaded as Brix rubs his head ruffling his already messy mop as his face scruntches up in thought. Suddenly he spins around to look at the group. Stabbing a finger in the air he sucks in a breath and says, "Oh! I think I have an idea! The words are a riddle pointing us to what's next. What words does everyone recognize?"
As Brix moves over to the wall writing he replies to the dragonborns inquiry. Without breaking his focus on the words he flicks a hand 8n Hunteros direction, "Ah, yes, yes I'm sure." The gnome begins rubbing his head again between dismissive flips of his hand. "Uh, but I have nothing prepared....and I would have to do a little research as well."
He gets his face right up next to the wall so he can blow some of the dust off the carvings.
"Me neither," Inge mumbles, agreeing about not being good at school, which she assumes is the same as sitting with her nomadic clan's wise women and men to learn stories, lore and other teachings. "Brix, that word in what looks like Giant runes over there means... 'mind', I think."
She hefts her glaive defensively, as if more afraid of words, and specifically the word 'mind', than any physical enemy.
"One over there is appears to be Sylvan for warning," Myrla points at the section and takes a closer look if there is anything else of interest in that particular part without touching anything (Perception: 13). "Then, over there, I saw something resembling elvish script for secret."
When Milo reports his observation, she listens up, "They do? That's odd. But I guess sleeping is a good sign, better than anything violent. It was really a good idea to check back there, Milo. We must keep observing how they reflect our progress, it might tell us how we fare or may warn us from impeding danger. How many statues are there?"
(Words: warning, secret, mind and - not yet shared - test)
Milo counts the statues, relaying the total to the party (so once Krayveneer posts, it is shared knowledge). And recounts every few minutes to ensure that they haven't changed.
Looking closer at the markings on the wall, it looks like there are some that could resemble other words if one were to add a few lines here and there. There is something missing still with this room. The clues are incomplete, as if missing a starting point still.
As the others ponder the meaning of the marking, Hunteros kicks the stuck door in frustration. The dull thump echoes through the room before the door slides slightly ajar.
Pulling the handle now easily swings the door open, revealing a strangely cozy room with wooden wall, warm lighting, and what appears to be a table full of food and drinks. Stepping inside cautiously, it is blatant that this room is not normal. Apart from the food and drink, the air in the room is cool and a just the perfect level of humid, very unlike the sweltering heat in the other room and corridor. Littered on the floors are worn blankets and sleeping bags, about seven in total. One of the sleeping bag seems to be occupied by an unmoving figure. Another figure is slumped at the far corner of the room, partially covered by a thick worn out blanket.
As Hunteros kicks open the door, Milo glances back outside and see, from the seven carvings of angels on the ceiling, another one has changed her pose. This one opens one of her arms wide and tucks the other loosely near her chest. Her face is turned to look to the side imperiously. Her pose reminds Milo of the beginning pose of a waltz.
Hunteros steps into the room and beelines toward the figure in the sleeping bag. He rolls the figure over and takes an involuntary step back. Lying on the bag is the dried-up face of a long-dead man. Despite the condition of the body, it is easy to tell that this man was very, very old when he died. Moving toward the other body, Hunteros discovers an equally dead man, perhaps dying about the same time as the other. This body, however, still looks young, maybe middle-aged. A book, stained red and black, is clutched in one hand while a dagger is in another.
I am so sorry. I did not even know the game started and was about to send a message when I read through and saw the link.
In brief - Wadi is a tan very tall (6'8") human with eyes that almost glow (like a cats). He is very friendly. He came here for work with his family a couple years ago. He is very skilled at nature and medicine (healer's feat).
(How would you all like me to begin? Just like I was there but very very quite? or meet up here?)
