It's a good quality wooden walking staff, with an image of a snakes head carved in the top.
**you know what, attunement is really bugging me in this particular dungeon, you guys can't keep dropping down and taking a knee for an hour in every other room. Here's what I'm going to retcon, the magical properties of this tomb radiate strange arcane energies throughout. When you attempt to focus on the staff to determine if it has any magical properties, you find a bond is formed almost instantly between you and the staff allowing you to attune to it almost instantly. It is a Staff of the Python.
OOC: Oh man, I want to make a joke so badly. Please tell us what the staff does Grexx.
Velkyn backs up with Dell. Mostly to annoy him, but also a bit to keep himself safe. While moving he says in a slight sarcasm covered voice "So, you keep talking about how naked Grexx is. You really know how to make an elf jealous, you know."
With an excited look on his face and not breaking eye contact with the staff Barry will ask "Dell, do you think if I become a big adventurer people will come to my brewery?" he will then stand in front of Grexx eagerly waiting to know/see what the staff does.
Grexx picks the staff up and twirls it in his hand. "My companions, it appears we have a new team member." Grexx lifts the staff out in front of him. "If I so choose I have the ability to cast this rod out in front of me and command it to turn into a giant snake that will fight on our behalf." Grexx then tosses the rod down and says, "Observe".
The staff hits the ground and intsantly transforms into a big, long, thick snake. It twists and turns around the room before stopping and staring at Grexx, waiting for instruction.
Grexx leans down to the snake, "Hello Burt. My name is Grexx and you and I are partners now. Please follow me and stay by my side. Use your senses to alert me to any dangers. I will do the same for you my friend." Grexx turns to the others, "Shall we?" Grexx then follows Dell.
Grexx will look to Barry and say, "It's OK. The snake will not harm you." Grexx then gets an inquisitive look on his face. "Actually, I have an idea Barry. Please come with me"
Grexx will begin walking toward the gargoyle missing an arm with Burt the snake by his side talking loud enough so that all may hear. "You see, I could not figure out this gargoyle puzzle when I was sent here earlier. I feel like it may have something in it's closed fist but I was not strong enough to smash it. Would you care to use the strength inside you to see if you can break it?"
"If Barry couldn't beat it open, I don't think my arrows are going to work very well and I'm sure as not as strong as Barry here." He thinks to himself for a moment "Hey Barry, perhaps we just found you a new maul. You could beat the living crap out of things with it until it breaks."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Amongst all the joking and hammering, Dell, for once, kept quiet.
He wasn't fascinated in the least by Grexx's hugely long and thick - and throbbing - scaly new friend, but instead centered his attention on the statue with the broken arm.
"There's gotta be a kink in this new puzzle..." he thought, as he approached the gargoyle carefully, examining it from all angles and trying to make sense of this new enigma.
Dell will investigate and attempt to see if anything about the statue gets his attention...

Dell you go over this statue and notice it looks almost exactly like the one that attacked you earlier. The only noticeable differences that you see are that one of its arms is broken off, its not alive and trying to kill you, and its not wearing the collar with the three jewels that you found on the other gargoyle.
With a slight look of confusion Barry will strap his maul to his back, pick up the arm and swing it around to get a feel for it. After Barry has had a few practice swings he would like to try and smash it onto a rock/wall or whatever the hardest thing he can see around him is.
Barry gives the wall a few wacks with the arm, some flakes of rock come off the wall and you notice you break the pinky finger off of the gargoyle arm.

Grexx covers his dangly bits with one hand to hopefully protect them from anything that happens. He think pick up the snake staff.
Grexx will then investigate the staff.

Grexx commands the staff to turn into a giant constrictor snake by calling out "Earl".
The staff hits the ground and intsantly transforms into a big, long, thick snake. It twists and turns around the room before stopping and staring at Grexx, waiting for instruction.
Grexx leans down to the snake, "Hello Burt. My name is Grexx and you and I are partners now. Please follow me and stay by my side. Use your senses to alert me to any dangers. I will do the same for you my friend." Grexx turns to the others, "Shall we?" Grexx then follows Dell.
Barrys jaw will drop and his eyes will follow the snake around the room while gripping his maul very tightly ready to swing.
Velkyn pats Dell on the back "Look at that, you can look at Grexx's snake all the time now"
**Everyone climbing back up to the big room now I assume?
OOC: It looks that way. That was the last thing in the chest room that we noticed, wasn't it? We're off to the other room now.
Grexx will look to Barry and say, "It's OK. The snake will not harm you." Grexx then gets an inquisitive look on his face. "Actually, I have an idea Barry. Please come with me"

Barry will bring down the maul on the hand.
Attack: 14 Damage: 15
Barry hits it very hard, the sound echoing loudly in this tiny stone room. But you find after that the arm looks undamaged by the mighty blow.
"If Barry couldn't beat it open, I don't think my arrows are going to work very well and I'm sure as not as strong as Barry here." He thinks to himself for a moment "Hey Barry, perhaps we just found you a new maul. You could beat the living crap out of things with it until it breaks."
