You throw the ball into the wall and as it hits the rock surface, you see it glow red and them suddenly it explodes. Dust and fragments of rock fly off into different directions and as it settles down, you all look up to see a hole big enough for a dwarf to enter through.
Fionn, you see that engraved on the limestone walls of the corridor before you are engraved with scenes depicting a sort of figure sitting on top of this chair, while smaller figures seem to bow and kneel before it. Underneath these images is a form of writing you don't understand. They don't seem to be magical and it doesn't look like any of the common writing systems you know.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bayrith walks up with Fionn. He runs his hands over the engravings very carefully to test their integrity. He mutters to himself, "Very interesting" he thinks for a moment before continuing. "ROSADO?! Come here my good berg! You're more apt to stone built things see if you can discern anything about this architecture, I will study this writing" Bayrith leans in closely to examine the writing more.
Bayrith, these writings seem to be similar to an old version of common that you remember reading about. You can't understand it, but you can infer based on the murals that it might be about the being depicted on the engraved scenery. A few familiar words that pop out though have meanings such as "sorcerer", "god", and "ruler".
Rosado, one thing you can remember now that you are in the tomb, you remember that the people who are usually entombed in stuff like this are those with high positions like old nobles, kings, and chiefs. As you look around there aren't any doors, but the corridor you are on ends on a sharp turn to the left.
Rosado "me think, if lads want ye body to hide deep underground ye have to be either rich or evil... Well or both. We will see at the end of this tunnel"
Bayrith relays his findings to the rest of the group about the strange language.
"We should go look for more writings! I'm certain I can work out a credible cipher if I find more of these inscriptions."
Bayrith then pulls out his notebook and writes all of the strange language down before walking past all the others down the hallway oblivious to any dangers, while still taking notes and muttering to himself.
Okay then. As you are all walking down the corridor and around the turn, you view what seems to be a much longer corridor. From the limited amount of light provided by the torch, you see what may be the outline of a stone door near you. Beside this door is what seems to be a statue of a person dressed in fine robes and wielding an elaborate staff that is also made of stone. There are still some more writings on the walls here as well as other scenes, but the most prominent ones are that of a person that seems to have some sort of energy come of their fingers, and of a person surrounded by books.

Bayrith will step up to the writings and use his findings from the last one to try and decipher any more if he can. He pulls out his notebook to write down all he can.

Rosado will try to stay cover by the wall but will take a look inside

So, is everyone going proceeding down the corridor?
