Taking a sketch of the crown “I agree Kurma let me just finish this sketch....Irommek I’ll hold on to the crown once this is all over I’ll be able to get a high price for you guys.” As she is sketching down for her notes she will join the others moving down the hall.
Turning slightly red from embarrassment, Irommek stares at the gem in the crown as he addresses the group.
"Aye, don't touch any dangling treasure, I hear ya. I've always had a thing for opals and it almost cost us all."
Brightening just a little he smiled and added, "In fact, my first ship was named The Opal of the Seas. Ahhh, what a beauty she was. I think that what we can fetch from this crown, I'll be able to take my part of it and what we've recovered so far from this smelly island and I'll be able to buy a new ship...and I'll name her Opal Endurance to celebrate surviving this crazy dungeon!"
Both the slabs, the one in the northern wall and the one in the eastern wall, are raised from the ground and they seal the passage out of the room.
Painted on the inside of the slabs is a male humanoid wearing a hooded cloak, once again with stars where his face should be. The figure holds up his right arm, which is severed neatly at the elbow.
After sharing thoughts with Gertude, Kurma severe the right arm of a Bodak and with the help of his strong companion, hold the dead creature close to the door with its severe right hang up.
“I don’t think this is going to work, but it’s worth trying“

“I hate to be a downer...” Isabella adjusts her glasses “I think someone’s gonna have to do the deed...” she begins making a sawing motion on her arm. “Well who want to volunteer.”

"Let's not act too quickly on this. Everything down here seems to be a trap, how do we know this is not some sick joke to get us to maim ourselves?" Oniss comments as the group looks to the door.
“Maybe you’re right but the opposite side of the slab had his arm and this side doesn’t.” Isabella will look at Kurma “Do you think you can stone shape through it.”

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gertrude is starting to get uneasy. The prophecy Kurma spoke off before the fight, about a sphere of annihilation, and now the words that darkness is coming sends shivers down her spine. She is used to fight in straight forward battles to use her strength. In here, she can already feel the darkness closing in on her.
Gertrude pulls out her staff and tries hitting the stone slab with all her force. "Sister, help me!"
to hit the stone slab in the north: 15 for damage 10
She swings again:
to hit the stone slab in the north: 12 for damage (expending one charge of force damage) 13
Not quite ready to admit defeat, even with Gertrude slamming on the door with no effect, Irommek tries to contact the rest of the group outside of the room. Placing his turtle shell shield against the door that they came in from, he concentrates on activating the power in the shield and then yells into the shield.
A very loud Irommek booms into the door, "Artus, Dragonbait! Try to open the door the same way that Kurma did! Raise your left hand with an open palm and push open the door!"

No answer from either Artus, nor Dragobait. Not that the saurial was ever able to speak...

Isabella sighs “Another trap... there’s got to be a switch somewhere.” Isabella will investigate around the entrance slab.

There is no evident or hidden switch, as far as Isabella can see.
The slab does not sink in the ground.
OOC The party came from the north door.
After sharing thoughts with Gertude, Kurma severe the right arm of a Bodak and with the help of his strong companion, hold the dead creature close to the door with its severe right hang up.

He reaches the western slab and focusses on the side of the door, casting Stone Shape, trying to create a passage around the magical door.

“I don’t think all of us maybe just one. Maybe some who can have a chance with only one.” Adjusting her glasses Isabella will stay silent.
