KD asks the dwarves for any more information they have of the statue mechanism. And if the rest of the area explored by the other party had other kinds of mechanisms.
"Yeh! A large green gem sat in da hands of teh statue!" Norbus would respond to Onu with enthusiasm. "An' they turned it away! Away I say!" He grumbles.
"Norbus. To be fair, this is a place in which priests worshipped Abbathor." Dazzlyn would caution before looking back to Lilly. "My apologies for the confusion Miss Lilly. If it helps clarify, the other group offered to assist us in clearing the monsters in these ruins for half of any treasure. They cleared the areas we accessed and escorted us back to Phandalin where we parted ways with them. In Phandalin, we were scheduled to meet up with a colleague to give our report. She was to set out from there with our information to begin mapping and recording our discovery in detail." He'd pause to adjust his posture. "She did not make it. Therefore I decided to return the next day to carry out the rest of the job." The dwarf would try to clarify the order of events.
Meanwhile, the raven saunters off towards the north east of the room.
"I am honest in my belief of the explosion opening up other rooms." He'd implore, in case his or Norbus' words casted any doubt. "And we sincerely appreciate any assistance you are all willing to give." Dazzlyn would bow his head to the group. "We do have spare sending stones to offer for your troubles if any treasure is not sufficient."
Then to address the artificer's ask, Dazzlyn would turn to her. "It was a trap tied to the weight of the gem. Some sort of pressure plate perhaps? But it was more than that... There was this whole experience-"
Just being dramatic, Norbus would sigh and throw his hands up in the air. "Les go alreadayyyyy!" The impatient dwarf would cut off his comrade. "She ken see fer herself ya?" He'd stomp off towards a south east secret door.

Does Demetrios know who Abbathor is? With a -1 to religion, probably not, but I'ma roll anyway! 10
As Dazzlyn speaks, Demetrios listens to him intently, though out of the corner of his eye he spots the raven hopping on off away from the group. He quietly whispers to those around him, "I'm unsure if that raven is anyone's, but it looks to be exploring on its own..."
After the dwarf's words, the paladin says, "It wouldn't hurt to check the rooms out... I'm on board if you all are."
If by the time the group decides to head on, and no one's gone to get the raven, Demetrios does, hoping to usher it to where they would be going instead (though he would do a quick glance around the room it was heading to).

Lilly nodded in agreement "We are coming with you." And on the same breath yelled after raven "and where you are going?!"She turned to dwarves to repeat Demetrios's question to them now. "Is this your raven? He looked like he wanted to join the group and now leaving. It is as if he listened to us and now wants to bring news to his master."
Once she said it out loud the idea began to look both ridiculous and very... "adventurous" - an evil wizard watches the group of brave adventurers through the eyes of his loyal evil familiar! She looked at the raven again - he did not look all that evil... "Just my imagination. Yes, let's just go."
The moment the procession was ready to move, she would fall somewhere closer to the middle and march forward.
When Lilly would call out to the raven, it’d pause mid step and guiltily glance over. It’d put it’s other foot down, chittering to itself. After a few quirks of it’s head, it’d deadpan to the shiny paladin who called it out. Then with a hop, skip and a waddle, it’d pitter patter back over with Demetrios to catch up with the others who decided to follow the dwarf.
Dazzlyn would look over his shoulder to respond to Lilly’s question with one of his own. “It’s not yours?”
”It came wit yas di’n’t it?” Norbus would call back as he’d carry on through a secret doorway.
Demetrios
Demetrios would be able to recall that Abbathor is also known as the Great Master of Greed, was the neutral evildwarven god of greed.
”AHHHHH!” A blood curdling scream would come from where the dwarf went.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Onu had been listening with interest as the Dwarves describe splitting the treasure - this is exactly the kind of score that he and KD needed to set themselves up properly. Visibly anxious to get started, he was the first (I'm guessing?) to follow on Norbus' heels as the Dwarf set off. As he hears the scream, Onu would master his urge to rush forward and instead pause, looking for signs of a trap or any trouble. Investigation 8
"No, not ours, came when we defeated those sickening maggots that were attacking us at the entrance. Have no idea..." the scream interrupted her detailed story of the heroic battle and Lilly froze on spot for a second, but immediately dived into the secret door after the dwarf.
KD looks behind and above, trying to find anything else that's being missed, following behind Onu who seems to be even more alert than she. She also keeps an eye on the other dwarf to see how he reacts. But if nothing seems suspect, she is moving to help the dwarf who seems to be a victim of something violent.
Moving through the doorway towards Norbus’ scream, Onu would easily be able to spot a jelly-like creature within the rubble the Dwarf was leading you all around. But it was a second jelly wax that fell from the ceiling behind the dwarf, in front of Onu, that was cause for surprise!
With all of the sudden commotion the raven's eyes would go wide before safely tucking itself behind Demetrios' beastly boot. It'd peek out to witness Lilly's bravery.
Initiative O| KD | J1 | L | J2 | D
Onu was prepared and positions himself perfectly to react immediately with his trusty companion ready to follow him up.

Onu steps forward and strikes out at the jelly on the dwarf, using his sword to try and knock the amorphous creature loose and follows up with a spin kick.
Onu moves in, piercing the yellow wax like substance with his sword before following up with a swift spinning kick. The jelly creature gurgles, turning it’s attention on the monk. It was then KD would pepper it with a bolt of fire. It’s hissing scream would echo through the hall.
Initiative O | KD | J1 | L | J2 | D
A bubble would grow from its form, and with a pop it’d lash out at Onu’s legs with a pseudopod.
It was a truly disturbed and troublesome place - now some yellow jelly was assaulting people! Lilly answered the same way she used to deal with maggots! Magic missiles!
Lilly’s missiles streak through the air, directly piercing her target, peppering it with arcane magic. Although quite wobbly from hunks missing out of it’s mass, it still appeared to have plenty of pep left!
Initiative O | KD | J1 | L | J2 | D
The second jelly that had emerged from the pile of rubble chitters and shakes. It’d slide up onto the side of the wall, then launch itself at the dwarf who screamed.
On Norbus Attack: 24 Damage: 19 + 3 acid
The acidic blob completely smothers Norbus with it’s body, burning his skin and rendering him unconscious.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Demetrios eyes widen in surprise at how the gelatinous creature so easily brought down Norbus, and with it still in the way, he couldn't safely heal the poor dwarf. With furrowed brows and a thinned frown on his face, the paladin takes out a javelin. "You may want to scurry on over elsewhere, friend."He murmurs down to the raven that had hidden behind him, just before chucking the javelin at the creature!
Attack: 11 Damage: 3
Whether at a hit or a miss, he then calls out. "Hey! Over here!" In hopes to draw the creatures attacks.
(If it works, then he'll use his movement to back up on out of the area!)

The raven quirks its head at Demetrios. It’d puff out it’s chest, ruffling it’s feathers to try to look tough at the big mans side. It’s expression would be brave and determined, as if mimicking Lilly’s bravado to egg the paladin on for his javelin throw. It’d successfully clip a chunk out of the yellow mass, but the moment Demetrios’ booming voice was answered with a gurgling cry and his target would turn to look in his direction, the raven would trot off, tucking itself behind Lilly’s boot this time.
