Keeping their eyes closed to avoid eye contact with the beast, half holding themselves together after the vicious attack, Zhernon makes a desperate lunge at the basilisk and stabs them in the eyes, sinking into their brain and downing the beast. They then run their hand over their body and casts cure wounds (11 pts), then looks at the others to see if they know something to help Twig. "Can try to make medicine too, but very difficult and dangerous."
"Is it... is it dead?" asked Roland as he dared to look up and around the room--still keeping his gaze away from the basilisk's head. It was then that he spotted Twig's form.
"No!"
The farmboy rushed over, then stopped, stunned at the sight of his companion as a statue. He turned and looked between Tilsu and Zhernon, "Come now, one of you has to have a spell or potion to reverse this? Right?... Please?" As the last word escaped his lips, his eyes were already watering; but despite the desperation in his voice he still held out hope.
Zhernon spotted the chests at last and went over to them, not bothering to see if they were locked or trapped, but attempted to open them anyway, hoping there would be solutions in there.
Zhernon takes the items out to show the others. "Maybe this will help her?" They shake the yellow liquid a bit. "Strange cloak too. Maybe these are all magical?" They turn them over in their hands a bit.
Roland's eyes widened as he rushed over to Zhernon. "Well," he said, "I don't know much magic, but I at least can identify potions." Asking his companion for the potion, the farmboy popped it open, stuck his finger inside, and tasted the compound, desperate to see if it would help.
(( @DM: What is the potion? Or, with my luck, the poison? ))
Twig sputters a bit as she becomes un-petryfied."Wa- What happened? How did-- oh it's dead? When did that happen?" She shakes herself a little bit, then glances towards the now open chests, "Ah man. I wanted to open those....what was in them?" She looks at what the others have found and her eyes are immediately drawn to the ship in the bottle. "OOOOoooooo, I like that. We're splitting the loot right? Dibbs on that then!" She proceeds to try to snatch it from whoever is holding it. The young girl seems almost unfazed by her near death experience, though as she tries to swipe the bottle, she stumbles a bit. Probably from blood loss.
Roland was overcome as Twig sputtered back to life. He stepped back, stoically watching her run about without even really knowing--or caring, it seemed--what had nearly become of her. His mind was at ease though.... he hadn't failed her.
Gathering his composure, he approached Zhernon again. "So, what other loot did we find?"
Zhernon shows him the shimmering cloak and pearl ring and then points to the chest of coins. "We need a way out though, or we'll end up on another plane. Know what these things are?"
(( Grrrr.... yeah, that was originally a 7 to hit, not a 22. And only 4 damage at that. And notice... I never even edited the post! ))

Zhernon slays the Basilisk. You can describe how.
End of Combat

Behind the now dead Basilisk are the 2 treasure chests

(Lol yes, that is exactly what she is. :'D )
Zhernon spotted the chests at last and went over to them, not bothering to see if they were locked or trapped, but attempted to open them anyway, hoping there would be solutions in there.
The first chest is filled with gold and silver. 500 gp 200 sp.
The second chest has a cloak that slightly shimmers, Model ship in a bottle, Pearl ring, and potion filled with a yellow liquid.
Zhernon takes the items out to show the others. "Maybe this will help her?" They shake the yellow liquid a bit. "Strange cloak too. Maybe these are all magical?" They turn them over in their hands a bit.
Roland's eyes widened as he rushed over to Zhernon. "Well," he said, "I don't know much magic, but I at least can identify potions." Asking his companion for the potion, the farmboy popped it open, stuck his finger inside, and tasted the compound, desperate to see if it would help.

Roland gets the sense that it is a restorative potion. Not a health potion.
"This... might work?" said Roland, a little confused. He stood and took the potion to Twig's statue, and tried to gently pour it past her lips.
(( He intends to stop and save it if it just seems like it's spilling over. ))

Twig returns to flesh and blood. Twig is no longer a statue.
Twig sputters a bit as she becomes un-petryfied."Wa- What happened? How did-- oh it's dead? When did that happen?" She shakes herself a little bit, then glances towards the now open chests, "Ah man. I wanted to open those....what was in them?" She looks at what the others have found and her eyes are immediately drawn to the ship in the bottle. "OOOOoooooo, I like that. We're splitting the loot right? Dibbs on that then!" She proceeds to try to snatch it from whoever is holding it. The young girl seems almost unfazed by her near death experience, though as she tries to swipe the bottle, she stumbles a bit. Probably from blood loss.
(She's at 3 hp.)
Dex to swipe the ship in a bottle: 8
Twig takes the ship in the bottle

Roland knows that all the items in the 2nd chest is magical. What they are specifically will take 1 hour to study or use of the identify spell.
There is also Room 7 not yet explored.
(Would it be possible to take a short rest while he examines the artifacts?)
