Having successfully climbed the Statue, Pequeno looks at the right-hand eye and says "time for you to find a better use, after all Ras owes me and my friends as he attempts to pry it out of the statue." He then repeats the process with the left eye. If he is successful he climbs down the statue and shows both gems to Zubeki saying "you seem to be a purveyor of fine goods - why don't you have a look at these later?" He then turns to Vrak and says "by the way there are four more of these damned cultists upstairs"
No matter the answer, he'll turn to Zee and ask, "Is there any way you know of a means to... uhm... mask, divinations?"
"I'm sure I can find a way to do it, yes, It might just take me a day or so to gather the right materials and switch things around," Zee says absentmindedly as she stares at the carpet.
Vrak heads to Zee,
"I hope we didn't ruin the carpets, they look nice."
"It really is a nice rug. I wonder how we are going to get these out of here."Zee says before she sighs and follows Vrak out of the room. "We will have to come back for these when this place is cleared."
You make your way to the South Eastern room without any problems and listen out in the hallway first but you hear nothing. You peek around the corner and into the 20' by 30' room. It has five beds throughout the room as well as five wooden chests at the foot of each bed. There is an ugly yellow rug thrown on the ground in this room and it looks moldy. The room has the smell of decay within it.
Looking down at Peq Vrak gives him a concerned look. "More of the cultists? What room? We'll work our way there. For now check the chests in this room. Probably not much in them but take a look anyways."
After the room has been checked for anything of value we will move to the room to the west.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jolly's eyes go wide at the mention of more nearby cultist. Yet beyond a worried glance thrown at Vrak, he'll join in the search, the mutter a prayer again for peace of mind and guidance. He'll start with off with whatever chest is the furthest off, though will be mindful to avoid stepping on the carpet itself along the way. However, at some point along the way, he cannot help but change his focus towards trying to figuring out where the scent of decay's starting point.
If necessary:
Perception: 17 plus guidance1. (If investigation would be more appropriate just -4 off perception roll).

Niavara stays out of everyone's way while they were still by the bodies of the cultists, she remains quiet as they move on and then looks at Peq quickly upon learning about other cultists that were nearby. She moves forward to go through one of the chests, checking to see if there is anything of interest to show the others before she moves on to the next chest nearby.
A quick search of four chests reveal clothes of the cultist but nothing else of value. The last chest is where the scent of decay is coming from. As you pop the lid you see what looks to be legs of a human jammed in here with what looks to be teeth marks in them.
Jolly immediately shuts the lid back down after seeing what's inside, and just shakes his head. "Huh... They really are cannibals."He states off-handedly before moving back to the entryway to keep watch and wait for the others to finish up.

As you make your way to the west room as you get closer you hear people talking in that ancient Chultan dialect signifying cultist are in the next room. You can also hear a hissing sound coming from inside the room as well. The hissing sounds remind you of what the Broodguard's make.
Zubeki shakes his head in disagreement with Jolly. "Let me study it, some items contain curses along with boons. I want to make sure none of these were enchanted in such a way that thieves are punished."
Zubeki pockets the ring and folds the robe into his bag next to the one he's studied. Moving with the group westward he grows tense when hisses reach his ears.
Hearing the sound as well, Jolly will motion the group to quietly back up for a moment. "Same as last? Skin walker first?" He whispers to the group as he began fishing out another trio of stones. Once a decision is made, the firbolg will again take a moment is taken to enchant another trio of stones, and pass two to Zubeki and at least offer the last to Fae-Sulu. Otherwise, he'll keep the last and have it readied to launch at a moment's notice.

Listening to the racket around him as the party prepares to sneak up on the cultists, Pequeno quietly says to himself “I really must find out more about Hlal and how she operates and then I could be of more use and help my large gentle tangle-footed green friend in situations like this!” He quietly slaps his foreheadwith fmuttering tohimself“Pequeno y Travesio you can be a fool sometimes - you’ve got a dragborn Paladin standing next to you; ask him?” He goes onto answer himself “yes but that is for another time; right now we need to deal with Mr Hissyin here!”
He then quietly loads his crossbow and when the signal is given opens fire at the biggest baddest meanest thing he can see in the room on the other side.
You make your way towards the western room and as you hear the cultists talking you try and be sneaky to get the jump on them. Jolly was pre-consumed with passing out the magic stones knocked into Naivara, pushing her into the room where the cultists jump out of bed and grab their daggers. There is a Broodguard chained to the wall and the Cultists closest to him jumps out of bed and hits a button on the wall that releases the chains holding back the Broodguard.
Naivara stumbles forward and turns her head to see who had knocked into her before she hears the cultists moving. "This will go over well.. " She mutters and immediately starts for the Broodguard, knowing it was the most dangerous in the room. She grits her teeth seeing the Broodguard released and swings her Greataxe aiming to cut into the enemies chest.

Zubeki outstretches his staff swings it over his head as three bolts of energy dart of from the arc, and magic missile pelts the three cultists Zubeki sees.

"Wha? Ooh! Oh! Sorrysorry! Uh... Uhmm…"Jolly looks rapidly back and forth between stirring cultist and the staff in hand several times before resolving to cover Vrak's back, and cover the cultist just next to him (YC4).

As Fae-Selu enters the room (moves to the square that Vrak started on) he starts to play his strings, giving off a harmony that upon hearing the broodguard will feel a brief sense of doubt about what it is meant to do.
Naivara has Bardic Inspiration 1d6 for 1 attack rolls, saving throw or ability check for the next ten minutes, Top of the order.
Vrak rushes around Naivara towards the Broodguard and launches a vicious attack at its head trying to end the battle early but the broodguard was ready for it and sidesteps the attack and watches as Vrak's sword hits the wall making sparks fly out from the impact. The Broodguard hisses at Vrak and Vrak can feel the spit from its tongue hit him.

He then quietly loads his crossbow and when the signal is given opens fire at the hissing Broodguard. You watch as the bolt goes clean through his shoulder, spraying blood all over Vrak as the bolt hits the wall behind him. (5 piercing damage)
As Fae-Selu enters the room he starts to play his strings hoping it would distract the Broodguard but it falls on deaf ears, however, Naivara seems inspired by it. (Bardic Inspiration for Naivara.

Jolly takes a swing with his staff but the cultist blocks it with his dagger with ease and gets ready to stab Jolly with it.
"Oh! Mmm! Well, Uhh… Bye?"And with that, Jolly eyes flicker green, and then.....he disappears from sight. The cultist watches as Jolly disappears from sight and stands at the ready.
The Broodguard hisses at Vrak and swipes both claws at him. The first claw Vrak deflects with his shield but the second rips across his face leaving a small gash on his cheek. The Broodguard lunges forward trying to bit him but Vrak pushes the Broodguard backward. (9 damage)
Naivara stumbles forward and turns her head to see who had knocked into her before she hears the cultists moving."This will go over well.. " She mutters and immediately starts for the Broodguard, knowing it was the most dangerous in the room. She grits her teeth seeing the Broodguard released and swings her greataxe aiming to cut into the enemies chest but he dodges out of the way.
Zee uses words of healing on Vrak and he feels the warmth spread through him healing his wounds. (healed 6)
The cultists shuffle around the room to get in a position to attack. One stabs Naivara in the arm with his dagger (3 damage) while the other three jab at Vrak but he dodges, deflects and kicks out at the cultists making them all miss.
Zubeki outstretches his staff swings it over his head as three bolts of energy dart of from the arc, and magic missile pelts the three cultists Zubeki sees. The bolts of energy slam into the cultists and they grunt out in pain as one.
Pequeno examines the ruby eyes. Is it possible to prise them out of the statute, how much would they be worth?
