At her miss, Morticia frowned and the advise from Corrine, followed with her hit, and Greyce's small smile, followed by their hit, didn't exactly make her feel better. At least they were able to do away with the bug swiftly. The rogue stows away her bow and looks about the area they were in now, letting the others take care of the door.

Shi watches the bug die with interest, seemingly unbothered by her own minimal role in the battle. "I wonder...no, probably not," she answers herself before drifting over to peek down the hallway.
Corinne turns to Janna, "I'm unharmed, only greyce was successfully attacked by that insect." The courtesan tracks Shi's movement, curious as to the mysterious woman with the penchant for speaking with other people's voices, she walks quickly to catch up to her, "We should stick together miss.... Katie, was it?"
"Not anymore. I'm back to being Shi," the changeling replies, brushing cornsilk-white hair back from her face. "This wasn't the right place for Katie. The statue wished for me to use my original form, not another's body." She glances at Corinne. "Perhaps you're right. The door or the hall, I wonder?"
Corinne nods, confused by the name switch, but at least Shi explained....right? "Umm, I believe that is the door we just came out of, judging from the heroes carved into them, the hallway appears to be the route forward." Corinne will beckon the rest of their merry band, "Let us continue, Greyce, would you like to lead the way? You appear to be the toughest of us."
Shi tilts her head before nodding, drawing the four ghostly blue lights to her. They start orbiting her slowly, whooshing back and forth. You swear when they get a little closer to you that they're whispering, but a moment later they whoosh away, and there's no trace of the sound.
Corinne chuckles and watches the blue ghostly lights, mesmerized by their azure luminescence. This was someone who might not judge her harshly for her own monstrous qualities she thought.

"Oh?" Greyce would look themselves over, finding the little bite mark. "Would you look at that, the bastard did bite me!" Placing each finger on the bite punctures, they'd mutter some blasphemy beneath their breath and a feint greyish purple glow would mend the wounds. "Let's save Janna's hidden talents for when the real big bampots bite back." They'd wink to towards Janna before offering a smirk to Corrine, appreciating the check over.
Lay on hands: 2hp
Grey eyes would then get distracted by Shi's light show. When an orb would come close to their face, their eyes would go cross eyed. They'd wiggle their nose. A hint of wonder and even joy would would pass over their visage, for a split moment Greyce would glitch. Their hair would flicker a feint greyish purple, eyes fully black, features resembled more of the image of the statue from the other room. "Hey!" Shaking themselves out of it, Greyce would bat at the light ball away as it'd return back to Shi. "Personal bubble here, bubble light!" They'd make a random gesture with their hand a few inches from their face glaring at it before returning their feminine hand to their hip.
Clearing their throat and correcting their posture after absorbing Corrine's words, they'd look to her. "Right!" Greyce would put on a cocky grin empowered by the whip mistress' encouragement. They'd gesture to the most left choice with their scythe, "We go left *****es!" If it happens to be the door, they'd lift a leg and attempt to boot it wide open.
Shi cocks her head at Greyce's reaction to the light, drawing it back and shaking her finger at it. "You heard her. Personal space. No, I don't care if you liked your reflection in her eyes. Later I'll find someone with big dark eyes and you can look at your reflection in mine, but we respect personal space. Don't give me that snark, rules are rules, even if you're dead. Thank you." She tsks at the light and keeps it bobbing directly above their head as she follows Greyce. "Very sorry about that, they're easily distracted."
"You're lights, they're... alive? Or... undead?" Janna nods and gives Greyce a wink in return. "I have a few hidden talents. We shall see when they reveal themselves, but it looks like you're alright for now."
"A little bit of everything." One of the lights comes and bumps Shi's shoulder, and she catches it lightly in her hand. "I suppose you could call them spirits. A very small manifestation of the dead. Most of who they are is gone and moved on, this is just a...reflection. An imprint of their strongest traits and feelings left behind after they fell." She shrugs. "At least, that's what I'm pretty sure they are."
The leftward way leads Greyce to nothing but a wall, however to the southeast is a hallway that leads to Area A3 and A4.
A3
A small alcove on the east wall of this hallway contains a few stone shelves that hold a dozen candles, a silver holy symbol of Aroden, four potions of healing and a healer’s kit.
A4
The marble walls of this large hall are carved with several images of battle, each featuring a knight astride a lean horse. The knight wears no helmet and has long hair and a wide mustache. In each of the images, the knight is charging at undead horrors with a rapier in hand. Two halls lead out of the western portion of this room, one to the north and one to the south. Three large archways lead out of the room to the east. The archway to the northeast is carved with the words “At My Right Hand, Peace for Years of Righteous Labors”; the archway to the east is carved with the words, “Roslar: Hero and Paladin at His Well-Earned Rest;” and the archway to the southeast reads, “Loyal Abdell, Support Thy Master Always.” Sprawled in the center of this room is a human-sized metal figure that resembles a skeleton wrapped in robes. The limbs of the figure are askew and melted, as though with acid.
As residents of Roslar's Coffer, you of course know that Roslar was a paladin of the Knights of Ozem who died heroically in the Shining Crusade almost 1,000 years ago and that your town has it's name because of its' proximity to his tomb.
You also see in the carvings a slender, winged woman with a heart-shaped face and long hair, looking down benevolently on Roslar. You can attempt to identify this woman with a DC15 Religion check.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Morticia quietly follows behind the group, keeping mostly to herself as she scans the hallways. When they arrive to the alcove and the potions are spotted, the half-aasimar will distribute them (unless they were already handed out and I didn't see it haha). She hands one to everyone else aside herself and take the healers kit (only if that's okay with everyone else!).
Upon entering the hall, grey hues look over each carving, etching, and statue, gnawing her bottom lip to hide her confusion. She never heard of any of these people...

Greyce identifies the angelic woman in the carvings as Arazni, the former herald of Aroden. You recall that late in the Shining Crusade, she was summoned to fight for the Knights of Ozem, but unfortunately she was slain by the Whispering Tyrant in 3823 AR. After the war she was laid to rest in the city of Lastwall, but years later her body was stolen and reanimated by the undead wizard Geb during the Second Crusade, and that she now serves as the lich queen of the his nation, also named Geb.

Corinne wanders the chamber, marveling at the craftsmanship. She sees the winged statue, she stops and examines it, “Anybody know what this could be?”
After a bit she wanders up and under the northeast archway to examine the chamber beyond.
