You don't notice any religious symbols on the monolith, but as you get within 35ft of the monolith you can see 7 names carved into the face of the monolith.

There doesn't appear to be any traps. The only thing you have to go on is the walls as you're currently walking through roughly 6" of snow.
Once you get up to the monolith you can see seven names carved into the face of the monolith. There doesn't appear to be any other markings on it. The monolith itself seems to be perfectly rectangular with flat, even, surfaces.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bastmao would like to investigate the area and use his perception

Searching around the monolith you can see foot prints that are being covered in the snow. With the amount of snow fall currently falling, they're probably a day maybe two days old. There isn't much else in this area worth checking out.
"I wonder if these are names of members of the Knights of the Fallen, or perhaps other research subjects like ourselves. Should we perhaps try to write our names on the monolith's surface and see what happens?" Thokk says, lightly poking the monolith with his new trident.
OOC: It would be a history. For now on, if someone rolls multiple abilities roll a single D20 then show me your modifier for each stat so that I pick the correct one and you don't get an array of numbers like you did with yours. It does not continue past the monolith, the monolith is on a slight raised platform and there is a cavern wall behind it. You're in an almost crescent moon shaped cavern of sorts, you started on one end and the monolith was on the other. You're positive you didn't see any other little tunnels though.
Hey there are some tracks in the snow that are leading approximately 2 days travel away if we follow them maybe they will lead somewhere important or give us a better standing on where to go. I'm talking to everyone in the party about this.

OOC: Hey guys, I made that a bit unclear I think. The footsteps Bastmao spotted are prints moving from the room you teleported into towards the monolith as well as from the monolith back to that room. I added a very rough map to provide a rough layout of the cavern you are in.
**So would it be reasonable to think we could go back and teleport back to where we were, then touch the stone again and end up in a new place?**
OOC: That’s what I was hinting at IC. I assumed this was the case given we were told that we may end up in different places if we are not holding hands when teleporting.

You all leave the strange monolith behind and head back for the small room where you all appeared. As you each step into the room everyone watches the person in front of them vanish. Either with luck, or it's the only place it moves you to, you all end up back in the dead end hallway you originally left from. You all grab onto each other again as Julien pushes on the stone wall, again everything fades to black before you appear in a familiar small room. Stepping outside you appear to be on some sort of tropical island. There is heavy vegetation here.
OOC: The map is to give you a general layout. Currently you cannot see the building nor the monolith to the south.

**does this corridor continue on past the monolith? Since we might be being chased, Julien would suggest we continue.

"Do we even have tools to chisel our names in? Seems like a bad idea either way."
Jank-Dank follows the others up to the monolith, and after scanning the names, he tries to remember if he has heard of them before.
(ooc: Just going to do some rolling. Not sure what would be appropriate here not knowing the context of the names yet.)

"How about we just head back through the wall we came?" Thokk suggests, unsure of what to do with the monolith.

"That makes sense to me. Let's follow them before they're completely covered."
"I still think we should go back, but I guess following footprints is just as good. Let us go."

Julien would walk back to the teleportation room and get ready to hold hands so we can all go back.
