Milo goes back to the entry corridor to check on the state of the angels, but they remain the same as the last time he sees them.
Taking a more careful approach and with Wadi's encouragement leading them, the party walks carefully down the newly opened corridor with Inge and Milo at the front. This new room is larger than the previous three. Sixteen statues of angelic figures are arranged carefully around the room, four to each side of the room. Another angel statue holding a large scythe stands in the very middle of the room. A glowing array of primordial runes illuminates the ground in a circle around the statue in the middle. Myrla, as the only one who can read it, sees the word 'Remember Me' written repeatedly in a nice tight script. Two doors can be seen on the south side of the room.
As Brix and Myrla cross into the room proper, the door behind them slams closed faster than when it opened. The statue in the middle of the room starts to move, raising her scythe and holding it aloft.
Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
Before anyone can say or do anything, the statue at the centre of the room flickers before it suddenly appears right in front of Inge and Milo. It doesn't do anything else, but the fact that it can travel in such a way is surprising and terrifying.
{{What do you want to do? The initiative is Brix, Wadi and Myrla, then Inge and Hunteros. Milo is at the very end.}}
“There are inscriptions everywhere saying ‘Remember me’,” Myrla informs the party. Despite the apparent imminent attack from the statue, Myrla tries to keep a cool head and scans over the statues. Is there any resemblance to the statues outside? Do they have the same pose or different ones? If different, is there a pattern to it? Any semblance with the large statue?

The dust clings on the angel statue, but it remains unmoving. The dust glitters and some of them seems to clump together, showing some flaw on the statue. It makes it easier to percieve some sort of fault lines or chipped sections on the statue.
{{The statue automatically fails the dex save. Any attack against it have an advantage.}}
When Myrla looks at the statues around the room, she notices that each of them are in different poses. There doesn't seem to be any pattern whatsoever to the arrangement, but she will have to take a closer look to see whether one or more of the statues resemble the ones depicted at the entrance corridor. One of the statue does have both arms crossed in front of the torso and a peaceful face as if the angel is sleeping.
(In response to her observation- I hope that is ok and can still be part of her turn)
Myrla points at the angels and says to Milo, “Milo, do you notice any semblance to the angels in the entrance? Perhaps, we should have a closer look and you were the only one who saw them last.”

As far as Wadi can tell, a statue of a winged woman holding a giant scythe just disappeared from the centre of the room and reappeared right in front of Inge and Milo in a blink of an eye. Around the room is another 16 statues of winged women in different poses, a few of them even holds simple objects, such as musical instruments, weapons, and crafting tools -- posing in such a way that makes them appear as if they are doing an activity.
{{There are a lot of words that can be said in 6 seconds but keep it at most 4 to 5 short sentences. Wadi, you can make a Perception check if you want, but you will mostly get the same information as Myrla. If there is nothing else from Wadi, it's Inge and Hunteros' turn.}}
Every instinct in Inge's nervous system tells her to strike the giant statue bearing the scythe. In fact, she would have already done so if it had approached normally, reacting with her polearm expertise as it came within her reach, but it had disappeared and reappeared in front of her. Inge doesn't like that.
Eyeing exactly where she would strike the statue thanks to Brix's illuminating dust, and interposing herself so that any attack from the scythe would be likely to target her first, Inge holds her ground and dodges. She feels a little ridiculous. And hungry, did she mention hungry?
"Um, any ideas anyone? Do we attack it? Talk to it? Pray to it?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
For a few moments, the statue remains stationary, even after Hunteros moves away from it. When everyone thinks there is nothing to the statue but the ability to disappear and reappear so suddenly, it swings its large scythe toward Inge and Milo in a wide sweep.

{{At the start of the round, the statue moves.}}
Before anyone can say or do anything, the statue at the centre of the room flickers before it suddenly appears right in front of Inge and Milo. It doesn't do anything else, but the fact that it can travel in such a way is surprising and terrifying.
{{What do you want to do? The initiative is Brix, Wadi and Myrla, then Inge and Hunteros. Milo is at the very end.}}
Brix Squeals "Aaaagh! What do you want!?"
Almost reflexively he grabs a handful of sparkling purple dust from a pouch and flings it in the direction of the angel.
