Summoning his spectral mage hand to sort through the details of the stone. “I have this, just in case we are worried about wards or traps.” Seeing Scoria look at the crystals. Flynn ponders if there is any magical quality to them. Arcana: 13
Taman gets as close to the walls of the cave as he can without touching them; there is no discernible fault for any doors. Scoria knows as an earth Genasi that these crystals are not of a natural make, though she can’t say what they’re made of. Cimeri continues to be dazzled by the crystals... they’re beautiful...
Flynn gestures and a spectral hand appears, feeling along the wall. It touches one of the crystals and disappears instantly; he feels the mage hand tugged away from his mental grasp before his connection with it is severed. Flynn scratches his head, certain that these crystals are indeed of magical origin, but nothing further is ascertained...
"I don't know what these crystals are - they're not natural, and I've no idea why something like this would be constructed. I don't even know if they were deposited like stalactites, or something else" Looking to Flynn and seeing his mage hand disappear, Scoria asks "Is it a magical thing? Why would a wizard need a chamber like this?"
Cimeri watched Spectral hand floating to the crystals - she could ... manifest?.. some magic, but it was nowhere near precise work of a true mage. When Hand disappeared she could not help it by exclaim quietly: "Ah, it's like crystals ate your magic! I mean, that Magic Hand you made! Can something even do that?!"
"Maybe we should move forward, before it eats more magic? I really don't want to lose focus on keeping us all quiet when we've barely made it past the door"
Taman, thinking about the nature of the crystals and noticing that the Mage Hand appeared to be 'pulled' elsewhere and not dissipated into nothingness, supposes that perhaps the magic was not absorbed, but that if anything touches the crystals that they are moved or teleported...maybe?
"I think I would keep from touching the crystal for now." Taman says to the group. "I think they might be some sort of transportation effect, and I am not sure we want to go there yet." he nods to the passage onward. "Let's see where that leads and can use this as a last resort if we can't find anything down here.."

Before moving away, Cimeri would pick up a pebble on the ground (providing there is one) and throw at the crystals - just to see what will happen. So far the door looked as the best option, at least understandable one. Cimeri carefully moved to the door, not touching (remembering what happened with the skull labelled door) but trying find anything unusual about it - like traps.
The pebble winks out of existence as it touches a crystal. There is no door but simply an opening into a second tunnel; to the right Cimeri can glimpse an open chamber in the direction back from where they came, perhaps where the other tunnel from the ledge chamber had led. A gentle patter of dripping liquid can be heard from this area. To the left are another set of stairs leading up to a door; upon the door is the carved image of a great kraken pulling two halves of a ship into the water.
Cimeri stopped and looked at the door doubtfully. "We need to go up to get to the tower, but those symbols are confusing. If they are of any indication of what to expect behind, that one should lead back to the sea?" She thought a bit, "but that would mean the first one was leading to either our lich or some nasty undead. Looks like we are out of options - it's either kraken or the skull. Or the crystals too."
Taman tosses his lit stone forward to the edge of the tunnel where it widens into a larger cavern; the source of the dripping appears to be steady drops of water falling from the stalactites on the cavern ceiling. This cave is perhaps 25 sq ft and Taman looks from west to east; in the North wall there is an opening ten feet above the ground that's roughly big enough for a crouched human.

"Ok..." Taman says as he returns. "We have two doors we can try, or this tunnel that appears to be in the chamber over there." He nods towards the dripping sound. "Looks like a person could get into the tunnel if you can get up to it." He shakes his head. "I don't know which way is the best, wish we had a map... My suggestion is the tunnel, but that may not lead anywhere either..."
"I can check it!" If doors were something magical, Cimeri did not really understand, climbing tunnels was something she definitely could do. And so she did, gratefull to gods for tieflings night-vision - handling the light and climbing would be difficult.
Flynn attempts to resuming his mage hand and if it appears, Flynn will speak up. “There are a lot of strange Magic’s here. The setting we are in I believe they are here to deter anyone entering who shouldn’t be. I suggest we stay clear of every door we open.” Flynn will use his mage hand to open the door if allowed.
