Rodolfo just nods to the suggestion of hacking off a piece of the medusa and heads to thoroughly inspect the furniture, look for hidden compartments, under the bed and otherwise find something to do that does not involve looking at the direction of the corpse.
(he is trying to be thorough, not believing that the medusa had nothing valuable)
Searching the furniture in the Medusa's lair is not overly difficult, as what hasn't decomposed into dust can be torn apart easily by hand due to the advanced stage of rot. As the fragile furniture in the chamber are rendered into piles of debris, the only items that seem to have survived the test of time are 5 ancient drow dresses that look as new as they day they were made.
"Whatever I felt in there could have been another angry ghost, or a humanoid... but I figure put out some bait and see if it is a beastie."
(Beegred plans to get to the next chamber entrance, toss the forearm as far possible to an open spot, and see if anything responds. But he will wait a tiny bit to listen for other suggestions.)

Beegred takes the lead and carefully enters the grotto with the ranks of statues, followed by Skameros, Rodolfo and Narstin in the rear. When Beegred gets within ten feet of a pair of statues, a cloud of dust kicks up from the floor and swirls around Beegred, and Skameros.
A malevolence can be felt by the pair as the dust picks up pace and swirls like a twister until it separates into 6 funnels, each pointed at an individual petrified drow soldier. As the statues absorb the dust, they begin to move...
Beegred will cast Hunter's Mark (bonus action) with his last spell slot on the Blue statue. He then moves 5' west, makes attacks on Blue, then moves to K3. (If Blue is still active, that is an attack of opportunity.) He will urge the others to get back in the corridor, to bottleneck the mob of statues.

Skameros walks over to the medusa and chops an arm off and hands it to Beegred
"Best part for eating is here..." and he indicates the forearm

Beegred sneaks into the grotto with the petrified army of drow and tosses a Medusa's arm inside. He waits. And waits. Nothing seems to happen.
