Noting that he is seeming grumpy and foul he adds "Still new friendships have given me much joy in my travels across this island."
Brunella feels the same way as Oniss. She no longer even knows why she is in the cursed place -- the errand for the original benefactor seems like long forgotten history. At this point, she just wants to get back out alive, and feel the warm jungle around her.
Kurma hears his companions and takes a few minutes to try to answer to their concerns. "I too feel not at ease in this doomed place. Our task seems sometime impossible, but I keep faith. We will destroy this Soulmonger, Oghma is keeping watch. Knowledge and Light will prevail"
The passage to the north takes the party back at the grand staircase.
Artus is on the balcony, checking yet another plate on the wall where a warning message is carved out. He invites the others to read it:
Dragonbait is there as well, standing beside the remnants of another skeleton. Its headwear is hexagonal. This corridor leads to a stone door with no hinges on the far west, while a minor passage is in the middle, leading to descending stairs.
What appears to be a large stone door looms at the end of the hallway, but it bears no handles or hinges. Jutting from the wall on either side of the door are two matching bronze sculptures — each the head and neck of a serpent with fangs bared. On the lintel above the door is inscribed the following message in Common: “Warm like flame, cold for the cruel, still for the dead, gruel for the ghoul.”
Isabella will pull her weapon from space time this time begin a small dagger with a another snake handle. She will slice he palm putting blood on both handles.

As blood is poured into the two bronze statues, the stone door sinks into the floor, revealing two side chamber, one on the right one on the left. On the front, a short corridor ends into a large vaulted chamber. But six ghouls come out of the side chambers, hungry for more blood.
The ghouls right behind the sank stone door attack Isabella and Kurma. As crowded as the corridor is now, Artus and Dragonbait can't do much but watch.
Kurma nods back to Irommek and Gertrude. "Very well, let's move North then."
