DM Note: Perzival you are correct. Shen's two weapon fighting style does let him add his dex mod to his off hand attacks, but for 5e you do have to have the Dual Wielder feat to have a non-light weapon in your off hand. Blibbers, I'd suggest changing that second rapier to a short sword?The only difference is you'll be rolling a D6 for damage instead of a D8.
Actually you can only dual wield if both the weapons are light so one rapier and one short sword wouldn't work

*tosses up hands* WELP nevermind then XD - Blibbers take what time you need to make adjustments.

Erok:The wand pulses and points to a section on the wall next to the Eastern door. You find a cleverly disguised panel in the stone. Upon opening it you see five gold pipes with valves. Looks like you can turn the handles.

Current Characters: Tailine, Tiefling Rogue 2 - Zanoliv
Not wanting to just start turning valves and perhaps causing issues for the party, Erok will share his find with whomever is closest to him. “There was a secret panel here, and these valves inside. Should we attempt to move them, or finish exploring the rest of this room first?”
"I say we finish exploring, but it is really up to all of you." (I changed myself to Dueling so now I do two +8 1d8+7 damage pokes if I don't have my shield up.)
Lilyth was busy sketching away in her notebook, trying to get all of the carvings drawn out, leaving a few lines so when Shen translated it, she could write that down too.
"I say explore." She commented, her tongue sticking out a little bit as she focused on getting the details juuuust right. Have to add in that secret panel, no forgetting!

(Oh boy these bad luck investigation rolls! Unless someone who hasn't tried yet wants to make an attempt, what we'll do is take 20 minutes for a 20 check)
Looking dejected, Wasif starts to pace. Smoking a pipe he has produced from his pack. The rest of you continue to search or read while Shen continues the translation.
Eight Minutes Pass
Shen:You are nearly finished with your translation. So far you have worked out the following:
The Hieroglyphics around the dais in the center of the room read: "The wisest follow in the steps of Menet-Ka, King of Kings."
The ones on the North wall read: "Mark the fate of the infidel and tremble!" You also see a mark that represents the number three
The East wall reads: "Flow in the wake of Menet-Ka's glory to life everlasting." There is also a mark representing the number four.
You are finishing the translation on the South wall when you start to get a terrible headache. If fact, many of you start to experience a sharp headache and the air in the room feels too hot. It's getting hard to breathe...

(YAY There we go. Rewinding a couple minutes here's what you find)
Lilyth: Making notes about the translation and what everyone has found so far, you find yourself standing in front of the statue of Menet-Ka. You find yourself admiring the workmanship and upon closer examination you notice that the upraised arm on the statue is a lever!
“Ooh...” Lilyth draws a thick arrow pointing at the arm she drew and writes down LEVER in big letters. “Hey, guys, I found a lever! Anyone wanna pull it?”

Cora: As you pull the arm of the statue down, a large slab of stone slowly drops into place and blocks the way you came in. You can now see that there is yet another mural on this newly visible wall. At the same time you notice that, with the statue's arm down, the entire outer ring of the dais including the statue can rotate.
Now we catch up to the moment where the difficulty breathing starts to kick in.

I look at the new mural and the dias to see if there’s any correlation between the two. I start coughing. It’s getting hard to breathe. Stay calm, stay calm! Perhaps the words on the walls!

Blibbers: Yeah, I'll let you change it since both of us goofed on the rules about it and we're not very far into the adventure.

"Let's finish exploring the room first." Cora suggests. "I'm not fond of pulling levers and pushing buttons, et cetera, just yet."

“Nice job, girl.” Cora says proudly as she lovingly gives you a quick pat on your rear. ”Here. I’ll pull it. Stay alert, everyone.”
