FIl starts speaking, which sounds like a cat who is trying to get their owner's attention. He stops and shakes his head, then shifts back to his human form. "I can dispel this magic as well." He turns to Fi and nods. "I don't mind using a spell, especially if it saves you a powerful attack."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I suspect it should work, based on what I know, but of course, a powerful enough wizard could disguise the potency of the trigger," Glim replies. "In any case, it seems worth a shot. While one of you works on that I suppose I ought to give due diligence to the rest of the room, in case these dwarves had other tricks up their sleeves." Glim begins examining the perimeter of the room: braziers, alcoves, walls, etc., looking out for holes that might constitute poison dart traps, triggers on the braziers that might cause them to engulf the room in magical flame, signs that the statues are going to spring to life and try to eat them... that sort of thing.
Fil hears a sound like released air as he casts Dispel Magic: "Pssssssshhhh". The edges of the sarcophagus leek a tiny bit of green gas, and then the noise stops.
"Well that's one of the more reassuring green gas sightings I've seen lately," Glim says. "Nice work, Fil," he adds quietly, actually sounding more genuine than patronizing in his appreciation (if slightly begrudging), the typical parent-praising-a-toddler tone he usually adopts when giving compliments taking a back seat to ... a sense of ... could it be camaraderie?
"Alright, I think we've taken what precautions we can... Shall we? Strong tall people, do you want to do the honors, or do you want me to levitate the lid off from a distance, just in case there are additional layers of defense we missed?"
"Golems? Of course! How did I miss..." Glim starts before switching to a sequence of arcane syllables. He reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a pinch of sparkling powder which he works between his fingers and then tosses. It begins to react with the air, forming a diaphanous, but deceptively strong, fabric-like substance that forms a sphere which encloses the golem closest to Klong.
Over the telepathic link, he says, <<You're going to need magic or magic weapons with these ones! Don't hold back!>>
Fionula, hearing Glim answer in the negative, will remove herself further from the fight, preferably five feet up the stairs, then she will let three eldritch blasts loose at the non-Wall of Force enclosed golem.

OoC: Does Glim have an inkling about whether dispel magic would work on this particular trigger, based on that arcana check?

Fionula nods, and bows the druid towards the tomb. "An' I am not gonna tell you not to. Be my guest."

You suspect it should based on what you know but you also know a powerful enough wizard could disguise the potency of the trigger

FIl is going to cast Dispel Magic on the lid in hopes of disabling the trigger.

Fil hears a sound like released air as he casts Dispel Magic: "Pssssssshhhh". The edges of the sarcophagus leek a tiny bit of green gas, and then the noise stops.
Glim: You don't see anything that makes you tweak out
So, what do you guys want to do?

Fionula notes quietly (to herself?) "Well, I'd levitate it, but I'm neither strong-tall nor floaty-making, so."

Klong shrugs, and attemps to lift the lid from the coffin.
Brunella Wildheart, Dwarf Barbarian,Tomb of Annihilation
Nyx, Fairy Cleric, Descent Into Avernus
As Klong starts to lift the lid, you hear the sound of stone breaking, and two of the Dwarven statues animate and attack.
Init:
Golems: 16
Klong: 15
Fil:5
Fi: 16
Glim: 16 7
Kelvin 4
Tie break on 16:
Golems: 8
Fi: 20
Order:
Glim
Fi
Golems
Klong
Fil
Kelvin
"Golems? Of course! How did I miss..." Glim starts before switching to a sequence of arcane syllables. He reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a pinch of sparkling powder which he works between his fingers and then tosses. It begins to react with the air, forming a diaphanous, but deceptively strong, fabric-like substance that forms a sphere which encloses the golem closest to Klong.
Over the telepathic link, he says, <<You're going to need magic or magic weapons with these ones! Don't hold back!>>
He then backs into the stairway.

Fionula shouts, "Can we dispel them, or do we need to pound them to rubble?!"

<<Afraid it's likely the rubble one!>> Glim replies at the superior speed of thought.

Two of the blasts hit the golem and chisel away some stone. It seems undisturbed by this and ambles at Klong, swinging it's giant arms
19 for 14 damage
21 for 20 damage
The other Golem attempts the same but hits the Wall of Force. It then looks at Kelvin and uses Slow (DC 17 Wis save)
