Matilda looks around worried, " These folks aren't frozen....they're actually turned to glass.   Be careful....we don't want to end up the same way."

" Pud! What's that blue ball thing? "

Ben:

Moving into the room and looking carefully around, Ben tries to sense if there are any hidden creatures, especially those that might be unnatural...

Perception:  10

(Including a use of Divine Sense)

Ben looks around. There are neither celestial, fiend, nor undead here. Nothing moves, nothing breathes. 

Matilda tries to bring Pud's attention to the tiny, incandescent blue sphere suspended in the air perhaps two feet from the head of Zybilna's statue. It hovers in the air, glowing softly.

Matilda swore she saw a glimpse of a statue moving when she first opened the doors, but they are perfectly still now.

There are no other exits from the room.

"Whoa...that's interesting"

Pud walks cautiously closer to Titaani, the statue and the blue orb. He get's within 5 feet of the statue and circles around it. He waves at the direction of the orb and focuses it to see if it reacts to his movement.

"I wonder if it's...what's the word. I wonder if it's sen...ti..." he stammers as he tries to pronounce the word. "I wonder if it's sentient."

Action: Pud uses his magical helm of telepathy to cast detect thoughts on the orb to see if anyone is home.

Bonus Action: He will send the orb a message telepathically. "Hi, I'm Pud. My friends and I are here to help."

OOC: DM, does this orb resemble to orb that followed us around in Bavlorna's place?

Ben:

Starting to move around the room, Ben gently touches each glass statue.  He is trying to see if anyone is faking or using an illusion of a glass statue to hide inside.

" I think something was moving when it was dark....."

"Maybe if we all close our eyes, the statues will move again!" Titaani suggests, then screws her eyes tightly shut. "Maybe they're just shy!"

Examining it closer, Pud notes that the tiny, incandescent blue sphere appears to be a crafted object, an artistic masterwork, and quite different from the drifting, indistinct ball of light they encountered in Bavlorna’s bedroom. Invoking his magical helm, he finds that the object has no thoughts, no intelligence – it is not a creature.

Ben examines each statue - they are all translucent, made of glass. They appear to be crafted artworks as well; while lifelike, they are not perfectly so.

Titaani closes her eyes. Everything remains perfectly still and quiet.

Pud takes out his magic collapsable pole and extends it. He taps the floating or ever so gently.

<click> It is hovering firmly in the air, perfectly still and quite solid, as if glued to the firmament.

Ben:

"The glass statues appear to be genuine, and I don't detect any celestials, fiends, or undead.  Of course, there could be someone or something else hiding here," says Ben, looking around carefully.

Perception:  16

Titaani opens her eyes with a disappointed sigh and decides to examine the glass statues to see whether they are enchanted in any way. Arcana: 18

The statues feel to Titaani like objects that are likely to be enchanted, but she can't tell for sure if they are, nor does she have any idea how they might be.

Ben sees nobody here – no life, no movement.

Pud shrugs, turns and calls out to the gang “this blue orb is some sort of crafted object. Kinda neat. Not sure what it does.”

"Don't we have a few gems too? Maybe all those things come together somehow?" Horatio suggests. 

"Maybe!" Titaani walks to the center and offers the others the gems she has collected. "What should we do with them?"

Ben:

"Indeed, a fascinating thought.  If this truly is represents the queen, perhaps there are settings on the crystal statue to receive the gems," he wonders aloud, now looking closely at the central statue for any indentations or settings that might be present.

"Hey, while you guys work on that, I'm gonna see if I can detect anything magical in the room."

He whistles for Rizzo to watch his back while he focuses on the ritual.

Action: Cast detect magic as a ritual.

Ben examines the glass statue of Zybilna on the dais. It has no indentations or settings which he can identify. 

Then Pud, finishing his ritual, examines the arcane signatures in the room. All the glass statues except the one on the dias seem to have a light enchantment upon them. (Zybilna's, oddly, is non-magical.) The tiny sphere is also arcane; its purpose unclear.

"She's a queen, right? Doesn't she have a crown, or something? Maybe they were taken from it and need to be put back? I don't know why they were spread all over, but that's the best I can think of." Horatio offers.
