Alton will move towards the thing and ready himself to cast another spell. Using his last second level spell he will blast the statue with another shatter.

Shatter: 9

The guardian's body breaks as Sen'ra's attacks hits him. Before even Alton start to casts his spell, the stones forming its body crumbles to the ground and a ghostly visage shows itself on its place.

"Well done. Proved you have the capacity to win against the oni, you have. Here are the things, willing to lend to your cause, am I. Yeesssssss. A Giant Slayer  Battleaxe, and also this Animated Shield."

He presents the said equipment forward as he continues to speak.

"Return them once you finished your task, you must. Need for them for the near future, I still have. But if, find a suitable successor to this tomb, you can, willing to part on one of them as a reward, am I."

Sandral shrugs at the items. He is no warrior, so has no need for them, and was hoping for something more exciting to challenge their daring heroics, but he admits that watching the statue war against his valiant comrades in the front was something quite interesting. He looks to the others. "Well a giant slayer weapon seems like something we could do with, especially with one of them oni still at large."

"HA HA! THANK YOU BROKEN STATUE MAN! I THANK YOU! THEY SHALL BE RETURNED AFTER I SLAY THE POOR FOOLS!" Sen'ra takes the weapons and literally jumps with joy at being able to use them.

"Well that shield is quite a boon to you my friend." Alton says as he watches the weapons being taken, less then interested in the axe s he would not domwell if he tried to use such a thing.

The ghostly guardian then moves into one of the statue's lining down the hallway.

"Possess the wisdom and knowledge of our history, my successor should. Seldom for my kin to possess, such characteristics are. Yeesssssss.

If you find one that fits the criteria, to solve the riddle presented outside lead them here."

He then picks up the helm among the rubble and dons it on his face. His eyes begin to glow red as he continues to speak.

"Call for a celebration on your part, this would. Since for an ale the genasi asks, I can direct you to a place, get one, you can. Hmmmmmm.

An old friend who bears the mark of a mushroom cap, have I. One of the mushroom farm's keeper, he is. Tell him Rombrasik sent you. Know what to do, he will."

"CAN THIS DAY GET ANY BETTER?!?!?!?"

"Any place with water...." 

"What you need, if water is, to find one he also knows where. After all, make ale without water you cannot."

The guardian starts cleaning the rubble of stones piled up after the test was completed.

"Alright, I guess we should rest before heading on?"

"Yes water sounds like a fine thing at this instant." Alton says as he dusts himself off and makes his way over to the others.

(Should I assume it's a short rest?)

(I'm cool with that)

"I'm ok with a short rest...however...how far is the mushroom farm?"   Rinc asks the statue...

Sandral will make mental notes of this mushroom farm, that it will most likely have some vile excuse of alcohol, but it seems to keep the others satisfied. Being able to have access to some source of water that doesn't require refining in a makeshift distillery is always a positive in his eyes. "Perhaps I should go collect the others if we intend to rest, we can catch them up as we patch ourselves up."

The guardian replies to Rinc.

"If right my memory serves me, connected to the armory, the mushroom farm was. Next to the same room and a kiln, the coal mine above this room is. Been down here for a long time so there might be new rooms and tunnels, have I. Hmmmmmm."

Sandral checks on the room they left Logum, and the two kobolds. Kirpo was picking up some coal from the pile while Guras is hanging from the rope, looking at the entrance above. He sees you and makes a relieved sigh.

"Thank goodness your fine. We heard commotion inside but we were too focused scouting since a group of ant-like creatures came and dragged the large corpse.

Good thing they didn't notice and left afterwards."

(If there's no objection after half a day, I'll assume everyone is taking a short rest and move on.

I also need to know which of the lent items is going to whom.)

Sandral isn't taking any of the items, but he might pack a couple of pieces of coal to take with them into a side compartment of his backpack. All fine with the short rest on this end.

(If no one else will take them, I'll take both. But I'm fine with sharing.)

 (Alton likes the shield but he mainly fights with the dual weilding fighting style.)

Sen'ra takes the battleaxe from the guardian while Alton keeps the shield. The four members of the group returns to the room they came from.

After Rinc describes the mushroom farm's location, the group was able to remember that Logum once scouted a place similar to it earlier.

Knowing where to go, the group takes a short rest before heading out. Though the group was able to relax even for a short time, they can feel same exhaustion they felt before starting to set in. 

Before they leave the room as they headed to the ropes, Sandral pockets 4 lumps of coal on the side of his backpack.

As they walk along the tunnel to the armory, they saw a large drag mark along with a number of tiny shallow holes on the ground.

Upon reaching the armory, the group can see the same 3 spears left by Rinc at the rack and the same stench coming at the direction of the mushroom farm. However, they saw the drag mark continue towards the east tunnel.
