Sharone walks in behind Bigan and Misira, looking at the artwork in the gallery, also examines the statue at length, trying to identify the creature with the tentacles and the athlete fighting it.

Perception :  20 

History :  7 

As Sharone investigates the statue, she realises that it is hollow. However, she is not able to identify the creature or the athlete.

Misira follows Sharone up to the statue and wonders aloud what it is?

History: 14

Sharone says "Hey, this thing is hollow.  Maybe there is something inside?"

Investigation :  4 

Misira recognises the statue as depicting Lancelin that fought and slain a roper.

Sharone investigates the statue and confirms that it is hollow. However, the statue is fully intact and there seems to be no way of seeing inside without breaking it.

Wrenn readies his short bow and lets the larger folk do what they do

Bigan just stares up at the statue, admiring its work, tilting his head.  "What a lovely piece of work..."

 "The best way to be finding something inside something else is to be lookin."

Lyreth takes her warhammer and gives the statue a firm knock on the knee.

Bigan would watch Lyreth do the same.   "Well I would hate to ruin a fascinating work of art...  This house already wishes us dead so why not!  Ha!"  Bigan would let loose a warlike shout as he let's loose a full-powered thrust into the statue with the knob of his axe.

“Wait a minute, remember that vines, it’s a depiction of a tentacled monster….”  Too late, she says to herself.  

The only thing Wrenn thinks is "Oh boyee"

Misira had started looking into the archway when the crashing started, turned around and figures here we go…

(Lyreth and Bigan make attacks roll to hit the statue.)

SWING! Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

With one swing of her warhammer, Lyreth shatters the statue.

Inside is a scrap piece of parchment with the words:

“Shadowed fingers. Eyes like glass. Beware the below. —L. Dolan.”

Bigan would frown as to the statue would break after one swing from the dwarf's hammer.  "Ha!  What a swing you have!  I've always admired the strength of the stout people of the mountains."  Bigan would sigh, relaxing a bit as he eyes the piece of parchment.  "It seems this here is a riddle..."

Seeing that the statue didn’t burst into life, Misira turns her attention back to the archway.

 Lyreth looks at the warrior and frowns, "I though riddles were supposed to be funny. This is being a failed riddle," she says as she kicks a piece of rubble.

Misira turns her attention to the archway where the wind moans through the open interior of the ancient tower attached to the manor. Stairs curve from the floor to circle the dark granite walls and vanish into a chamber high above.

Bigan would hoist his axe back once the statue was indeed busted.  "Well, I feel this is a good time to head back to the parlor.  Maybe Alan found something with that board!"  He'd turn to the door which would lead back to the front room.
