Although Reverie, Jack, and Froskan are attacking well, the armor and battle movement of the helmed horror is able to avoid solid hits. The near-hits leave it off-balance, and Jack yells to Iskander that the head is exposed. Iskander lands a critical blow on the helmet, crushing it (like a beer can) and gouging the top of the breastplate (24 damage, total of 56 damage).
Horribly, despite the damage, the thing charges at Iskander like a runaway bull. Attack1: 24 Damage: 9, Attack2: 21 Damage: 5. Iskander is hurting, falling to one knee (4 hp).
Reverie and Jack are about the strike at the HH's exposed back, but Trimyrai's bow goes before them. Through the breaks in the armor, Trimyrai sees runes. A well placed arrow goes through those runes (6 damage, 62 total). The helmed horror staggers a step, then clatters to the ground as an empty pile of armor.
Combat is over. The party looks around, and no other threats are visible. Iskander is stable, but unconscious at 0 hp.
If you want to examine something on the map (post 1709), include an Investigation roll (except the armor, which is an Arcana roll). When you decide where to go next, there is the stairs up, a door to the east, the doors along the north hallway, and the rest of the north hallway out of visible range.
(Was Trim's shot before or after my chromatic or attempt at the end? Just need to track if I used the slot or not)
(All ammunition recovered. Reverie has to pull the crossbow bolt out of the stairs. Trimyrai gets his arrows out of the breastplate of the armor. Jack kicks aside the mangled helmet to get his boomerang.
Froskan's spell slot was spent. Trim went last in the round, after the orb was cast.)

Isk looks over his wounds and waves a hand over the most grievous, golden little trickles out and over it, healing him for 3hp (9/24 hp).
He looks to the group, "You think we'll fight something else in here? I'm pretty banged up but I could throw back this healing potion if we are expecting a nother fight."
Reverie comes back from retrieving her arrow and then looks at the party for a moment. Then she casts Cure Wounds before she walks towards Iskandar, resting her palm on his upper arm. "I have some spells of cure wounds and the other way to heal," she says, "does anyone need my assistance?"
Cast, Cure Wound - 4
Then she looks back at Jack and Froskan, listening to their conversation. "And why would you want to know about that, Jack?"

(Iskander was at 4 hp after combat. Used racial skill to heal for 3, Jack's healing word for 4, and Reverie's cure wound for 4. Trim asks Isk, "Does this potion taste funny?" and quickly gets him to drink a healing potion for 9. Iskander is now at 24 HP, and full health.)

Isk whirls around as all these people are touching hum and throwing fluids down his throat. "Man, I feel great. I haven't had that many hands on me since the time I took leave in the Pearl Islands!"
Jack encourages the party to step north. The hallway is 10' high. Between the light from the open door at the front entrance and Froskan's cantrip, you can see the end of the hallway used to have a large window, which is boarded up like all the other windows in the house. ("PA" is plate armor, or the pile of armor left from the helmed horror. I've made the doors brown instead of grey, so they are easier to see.)
There are 12 life-sized statues ("S") along the sides of the hallway. It looks like they were done by 12 different artists. They are all meant to be the same elf maiden, but some are better quality than others.
The double-doors to your east have been boarded over, and iron bars to reinforce them. The handles are wrapped in chains. Parts of the doors are stone. This was not designed. You can see a few boards that are wood on one end, and petrified wood on the other.
The door that you passed to your west was normal (not boarded over, no stone).

To be safe, Trim checks the 4 statues in entrance hall. Another 4 statues of the same elf maiden, again by different artists.
None of the 16 statues (in total) respond to being poked (by glaive or arrow tip). They appear to be ordinary statues.

Trimyrai: (to the party) "Better to be safe than sorry, so drink up."

“I say Hallway.“Jack walks into the hallway, bravely. He looks around (perception:11)

Isk will carefully poke each statue with the bladetip of his glaive, to make sure none come alive, as the party moves down the hall.
Trimyrai covers the rear, making sure nothing comes up behind the party, as they go down the hallway.
