Crownsguard is struck by a hail of ice and sleet. He is very dented and wet as a piece of his shoulder falls off, “Oh. That is unfortunate. I just got that too.” He picks it up and affixes it back on himself, “There we are. Like new.”

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A piece of hail cluncks Quill as she's flying midair. She puffs out of existence leaving only a trail of smoke smelling of brimstone.
Ink fairs marginally better, as when he closed in on Crownsguard to curse him out it inadvertently placed him in the paladin's aura of protection. Although still battered and bruised, he felt a divine inspiration to look up - and managed to see a chunk of ice his same size falling towards him. He was able to dodge out of the way thanks to the divine inspiration angling his eyes up.
Battered, bruised, and frustrated - Ink feels the need to let go some energy, he asks everyone to step away from the doors along the north wall by at least sixty feet.
He aims a finger towards the double doors at the northwest end and lets loose a FIREBALL (31 fire damage) at the base of the door.
Ink’s two fireballs instantly melt away the thick ice that is layered over the south and north doorways, creating a massive amount of steam and some pooling water on the floor in front of the doors.
Flint’s find of the secret room reveals a guard room, slightly smaller than the ones at the front of the temple entrance, with a lever frozen in the “up” position about 12 feet off the ground.
Meanwhile, he assumes the thinker position while looking at the rune. Every few minutes or so, he raises a finger with an idea, then discards it and lowers the finger once more.

Crownsguard emerges from his thought, “Harshnag. I believe that you may need to present the gift to the rune. The magic seemed to reject me. However, as a frost giant, Thyrm may accept you. Touch seems to be necessary, as it did not attack me when I stood near it.”

Ink yells, "Crownsguard step away from those runes or I swear I will find a way to banish you!"
"Look at the weapons in the other giants' hands. They're all massive and decorative. Harshnag said himself that Thrym is always depicted holding an axe - it stands to reason that the creators of this temple would have made him one, too."
"Harshnag, can you remove the weapon from Stromnaus' grasp? I just want to see if it can be removed. Don't touch anything with it. You can place it immediately back."
/// Regardless of the result of that interaction.... ///
Ink sighs, "Look, we're all tired and I'm tapped of all my upper echelon spells, how about we rest tonight and figure this out in the morning? I'll get the hut up. It'll keep us warm."
Harshnag agreed. “As a frost giant, yes, I have a connection to Thrym. Should I touch the iserune?”
While mulling this puzzle over, At Ink’s request, Harshnag lifts the heavy adamantine trident from Stromnaus’ hands. It looks gigantic, even in Harshnag’s grip. He then hefts it, and then carefully replaces it in the hands of the statue. Nothing else happens. “Yes, it can be removed. I would bet this is what happened to Thrym’s weapon.”

Ink snaps out of his ritual at the sudden storm. He sees Crownsguard touching the rune.
"Everyone! Out! Now! Quill get outside now!"
As Ink sprints towards the door spellbook underarm, he yells, "This temple wasn't made for our kind!"
"And indoor storms are NEVER a good sign!"

Chunks of rock-hard ice fall from the ceiling and pulverize the ground around you, like a sudden and deadly hailstorm!
Flint finds a secret door just as the cloud appears near the ceiling, and he is able to push the door open just as the ice starts falling.

The chunks of ice fall for several seconds and then, as suddenly as it started, it stops, and the archway and its swirling mists continue to glow.

Crownsguard gives a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, he assumes the thinker position while looking at the rune. Every few minutes or so, he raises a finger with an idea, then discards it and lowers the finger once more.
