i share the humming noise news... and I sit nearby and try and meditate on that sound and see if I can hear a direction, variations, or otherwise discover anything...
You are pretty sure the noise is coming from inside the black ice set into the wall and the circular notches surrounding it, as if there is some unseen power source and energy flowing through them.

Following the noise as best you can, you find it coming from small metal nubs inside each of the circular notches surrounding the black ice on the wall. From what you can tell, some sort of energy is flowing through the metal of the nubs, causing them to vibrate slightly against the white stone. You're pretty sure touching the nubs with your fingers wouldn't be advisable.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A spark of multicolor energy leaps from the nub to the axe, down the metal blade, across the handle, up Kathra's arm and down the core of her body to the ground in almost a blink of an eye. The force of the spark is enough to nearly knock the sturdy dwarven lass to her knees and she would likely have lost her grip on her axe as it is knocked away from the rounded notch, if not for her hand involuntarily clenching with coursing energy.
Kathra takes 5 lightning damage.

((So I haven’t been drawing a map. Is the only door we haven’t tried is the one that seems to lead into the 2nd hallway from the ice sentinels? The one on the right?))
((I am finally home, did not know I had to go out of town today, the boss surprised me, LOL)) Peren has grown tired of working on the secret door and decides to join the party, He says "Where to now? We should come back and try to open this secret door later, does anyone else want to give it a try before we leave"
((Definately sounds more Maribel’s speed. I share all of that info w him))
((Just a heads up I will probably be scarce the next couple days. I'll try to check in when I can!))
((So noted.)

Kathra perks up at Thont's mention of humming and tries listening for it too.
Perception: 17

Kathra taps the nub with her axe. For science.

Kathra coughs slightly, but stays standing. "Well. Whatever magic this is seems to still be active, anyway."
((I REGRET NOTHING))
Mirabel looks over at Kathra with some surprise. "Oh, uh, I guess I should take a look at that." He walks over to investigate.
Arcana: 10 (with 4 guidance if you don't mind)
For Mirabel:
That's some strange magic going on there.

I think so?
((Back in the long room with the bodies there was also a tunnel on the western wall that led further west.))
((I’m ready to move on when everyone is done in here))

Peren has grown tired of working on the secret door and decides to join the party, He says "Where to now? We should come back and try to open this secret door later, does anyone else want to give it a try before we leave"
((I would like to check the other hallway before going down the western tunnel))
((that sounds like a good plan Gavin))
Sounds good!
