Marley is drawn towards the stone carving and brazier in the center of the room. Remembering the stone-like creature from downstairs he looks up at the ceiling before getting too close, and if not noticing anything takes a closer look.

Marley you don't see or notice anything special.
You don't know much about this particular statue but you remember many statue of simular fashion in other ruins you have explored
"Ahhh. Yes. YES! These paintings. I remember hearing a heroic ballad of..." He scans the paintings looking for someone in particular, "HER! This is Sansa. Rumour has it dragon blood runs in her veins. Her family managed to tame some of the beasts. Man mounted dragon and was able to stifle the assault. In the end, the people won and the dragons relented." Maziara stops and scratches his chin.
"So interesting that these would be here... with the story from down stairs as well. 'legends are born in blood and fire'. It's all connected some how. But.. how?" He ponders this for a while and hopes someone in the group may have more ideas.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Marley pulls on his whiskers and mutters a bit, but doesn't seem to have any ideas. He listens to see if he can still hear the chanting and get a sense of where it's coming from.
You can see a long hall with 4 old stone tables down the center. At the end of the hall you can see 5 humanoids in a circle with a girl floating in the center
1. The girl is the droids your looking for. I meant girl.
2. The 5 cultest all have their hands raised and energy is shooting from them to the girls
3. You can hear 2 guards flanking the door.
4. What appears to be the leader is standing at the far end.
5. An additional robed figure is tending by a door on the far end. He has a symbol on his cloak of a sliver circle. You get the feeling the figure sees you because a moment later it vanishes in a black mist.
Maziara will share what he sees with the group and quietly load a bolt into his new crossbow. He looks at the rest of the group for ideas on how to proceed.
Marley ducks around the corner of the door so he's out of line of sight from anyone in the room with the cultists.
(If okay with everyone, Marley will drink a healing potion. By my calculations we have 2 left from the loot he's tracking, before he drinks one. Deleted my post where I went ahead and did that without checking to see if anyone else wants it.)
Crunchface isn’t so smart-he’s very impulsive too. He’s the stereotypical barbarian if we had one, except he’s a sorcerer instead. He steps around the corner and casts Sacred Flame with 2 damage but only if two cultists are within 5 ft of each other. Otherwise, he’ll cast Fire Bolt at the closest one with Attack: 9 Damage: 10

If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.
Maziara will also investigate around the room for any hidden emblems that could trigger further traps.

Maz you remember a balad you herd once about the dragon knight. These paintings/murals reminded you of it.
There are 5 paintings.
1. Dragons attacking the land
2. Army's rise up to challenge them.
3. A depiction of Sansa Dragondaughter defiant stand
4. Knights riding dragons fighting dragons.
5. A Knight standing on a pile of Wyrmlings with a spear held up in victory

Crunchface remains quiet as he had none.

Marley, the chanting is coming from behind the door on the north wall.
"Where there's chanting, maybe that's where they've got her..." Marley says quietly as he points toward the door.
“Should we try another sneaky starategy?” Maziara asks
"What do you have in mind?" Marley asks with a grin. He heads over to the ajar double doors and takes a peek through the opening at the outside.

Going to use the 17.
You can see a long hall with 4 old stone tables down the center. At the end of the hall you can see 5 humanoids in a circle with a girl floating in the center
Maziara squints closely trying to make out if the girl is the famers daughter, and if she is still alive.

(Ah, sorry... that showed an error when I first looked at it.)
With a nat 20 you get the following.
1. The girl is the droids your looking for. I meant girl.
2. The 5 cultest all have their hands raised and energy is shooting from them to the girls
3. You can hear 2 guards flanking the door.
4. What appears to be the leader is standing at the far end.
5. An additional robed figure is tending by a door on the far end. He has a symbol on his cloak of a sliver circle. You get the feeling the figure sees you because a moment later it vanishes in a black mist.

Fine by me)

Both cultists by the door fail their save.

Maziara tries to grab Cruch to keep him back, but fails in doing so. He readies his rapier and prepares for the guards.
