Maegan just looks useless as she’s not used to riddles and she’s out of her element so to say as she just shrugs and says “well I’ve got no clue. I’m not very good a puzzles”
Crispy: You push your hand against the status and... yes, the dais does turn now that the statue's arm is down. Right now it is facing the door where you came in.
Erok:You examine the east door, but you don't find anything of note. No switches or levers.
Cora: You turn the statue so that it's facing the west door, but it remains closed. You remember that the door closed when the statue's arm was pulled down (it is currently still in the down position).

Cora: You lift the statue's arm and the dais locks into place, no longer able to turn. The western door that leads back to where you started slowly opens again.

"What if we lower the lever/arm again and turn the dais to face the east door?" says Erok. "Surely we want to find Menet-Ka's glory, yes?" If the party agrees, he will try and help Cora muscle the dais and arm/lever into place.
Lilyth has been very focused in writing in her notebook, making sure she had through instructions on how this puzzle seemed to work, just in case.
”That’s a good idea, yeah...” She finally looks up. “But maybe it wants us to go in order?” She turns herself to face the south door. “South would be next, but it’s up to everyone else!”

"That is possible, little one," says Erok to Lilly. "But maybe we could skip the one about 'the fate of the infidel'? That doesn't sound pleasant, does it? And with air getting short, perhaps speed is in order?"
“No it doesn’t...” Lilyth juts out her bottom lip in a little pout. “But this is assuming we can skip any of them... Which I hope is possible.”

“But if we miss some then it’s possible that the exit may not even open to us and then you guys have just wasted more of your breath. I mean I can hold my breath for as long as I’m alive basically but you guys can’t.” Maegan responds, “So perhaps it’s better to just do them in order rather than trying to miss some out?”
After listening to her teammates, she spoke. "Erok," Cora said, grabbing the dais with both arms, "Help me turn this towards the east door. Let's see what happens." After we do that, I'll pull down the lever again.
Cora & Erok: You lower the statue's arm again, closing the West door and you turn the statue toward the East door. When you raise the arm again the East door rises up into the ceiling.
The passage beyond the door slopes sharply downward. After a few feet the stones slip beneath the placid surface of water flooding the tunnel. Glyphs adorn the wall tops and the ceiling also, unlike other locations in the tomb. Where the symbols sink below the water, they give off a glittering, blue light.

Maegan replies quite harshly, “Oh yeah Erok, like any of us are going to bring a boat with us. Come on now why did that idea even enter your head. It’s obvious none of us have a boat and even if we did own a boat how are we supposed to get it into this tomb in the first place it’s not like a boat can just shrink.” And then Maegan storms off.

Erok turns the words over in his mind. Would 'flow' relate to water? Or fire? Surely life everlasting (east) is the way to go?
Erok walks over to the east door and begins searching, fingers traveling lightly over the carvings. Is there another lever? A button? Some trigger?
Investigation (if needed): 12
The wisest follow in the footsteps of Menet-Ka, King of Kings. (dais)
This sounds like the right thing to interact with - the WISEST. Highest wisdom score perhaps interacts with the dias?
Life begins with breath. (west door - where you came in)
Something to do perhaps with the lack of air from the trap we just set off?
Turn your eyes as one toward the Divine Temple. (south door)
Meaning, perhaps, to head this way at some point?
Mark the fate of the infidel, and tremble. (north door)
I'm not sure what this means but it doesn't sound good.
Flow in the wake of Menet-Ka’s glory to life everlasting. (east door)
I like how this sounds!

I muscle up and try and turn the dias so it's "facing" west - i'm gonna see if turning it, the door opens again.
Cora: You turn the statue so that it's facing the west door, but it remains closed. You remember that the door closed when the statue's arm was pulled down (it is currently still in the down position).

Oh shit, that's right. I run over to the arm and flip it up. Hope this woiks.
Cora: You lift the statue's arm and the dais locks into place, no longer able to turn. The western door that leads back to where you started slowly opens again.

Erok immediately moves to help Cora, trying to control his breathing as they work.
Cora nods to Erok in thanks and looks at the door, "Lets hope this works. Lilly, love, make sure you're writing all this down." she winks to her.

Erok turns around to the party. "Anyone got a boat?" he asks. "Or are we all going for a swim?"
Maegan replies quite harshly, “Oh yeah Erok, like any of us are going to bring a boat with us. Come on now why did that idea even enter your head. It’s obvious none of us have a boat and even if we did own a boat how are we supposed to get it into this tomb in the first place it’s not like a boat can just shrink.” And then Maegan storms off.
Erok blinks at Maegan's words and watches her storm away. He turns to Cora. "Was my attempt at humor incorrect?" he asks, puzzled.
