The gold hardly does more than raises a brow out of the bugbear. After taking a moment to get reports back from her familiars, she follows after at least those that walk past the once illusory wall. Le'gal rolls her eyes. "Mores PB's influence than Jury's. Nevertheless." She strolls forth, and with a degree of hesitation, takes hold of the mace first. "Fair warning. Mn. Reminder. Lingering attracts. So."She looks to Charles expectantly for a moment, and sits down to get to work Identify the mace in hand. "Let's be quick, Charles."A last suggestion before losing herself partially to focus on the cast.

Seeing the fake wall going down Nox will cast Detect Magic trying to sense if there anything else magical around. While they handling the items Nox gathers some of the gold coins.
Upon sticking his head through the illusion and seeing the pile of treasure he immediately pulls his head back and mutters, "What the fu-..." He sticks head through again and smiles. "Wow!"He nods to Le'gal, "Let's make it quick indeed."
He will assist Le'gal in casting Identify on the cloak (he is doing it as a ritual)
On Talon's request, and after Nox confirms that the three items among the gold coins are indeed magical, both Le'gal and Charles begin casting their divination on the magical items. A minute into her expeditious casting, Le'gal finds out that the mace in question is not only enchanted to enhance damage dealt to any of its foes, but also that it seems specially adept at damaging constructs (Mace of Smiting). Noticing that her fellow caster is taking the time to prepare a full ritual, Le'gal does the same on the remaining item. Ten more minutes pass before Charles uncovers the secrets of the cloak: it provides its wearer the ability to more easily avoid spells (Mantle of Spell Resistance). A minute later, the bugbear finishes her version of the ritual on the lion-shaped horn. This item is capable of deafening those who hear its blasts, but it might be dangerous to wield (Horn of Blasting).
It went unnoticed at first, but Nox's Detect Magic also picks up a mural on the far wall of this treasure room. It depicts a party of eight adventurers about to be swarmed by an entire tribe of goblins. Upon being called attention to the piece, Graxximus and Charles would both recognize this as the same exact mural they saw in the pool room, after the paladin finished rolling the dice. Nox's spell also picks up that the dice in Charles possession are recharged with their magical essence.
Graxximus does not see any danger in the party's immediate surroundings, though he hears the growls of approaching creatures from deeper into the labyrinth over the 12 or so minutes it takes for all the rituals to finish. Talon and Fancy manage to count up to 4000gpin the pile, and they are pretty sure that number is accurate. That number also includes the 180gpthat Nox picked up for herself already.
Before the magic has even fully faded from her eyes Le'gal is scowling and glaring daggers at the mace in hand. She cocks back her hand, and for a brief moment it looks as if she might chuck the mace into a wall. And yet, after a few moments of labored breathing she calmly sets the weapon aside to work on the horn next without a word. Again, white hot anger flashes in her eyes, but only for a briefer moment this time.
Wordlessly, she gets up, walks over to Graxximus and Sigil to almost forcefully shove the Mace of Smiting in the former's hand, and the Horn of Blasting in the latter's. "No soul binding required. Best suited for you both. Very... effective against my... against constructs."She doesn't wait for a response before stepping off to the side to wait for the others to line back up for the march onwards.

Le'gal starts to open her mouth, but hesitates and looks around to the remaining party first. "Want is strong word. More like... you or Talon should have it. For journey ahead. But no time for rest. Even with my magic."Her point given, she turns her attention towards keeping an ear out while others gathered up the gold (if they so chose to). Because quite frankly, the chances of finding the dwarf and potential vendor seemed less and less likely.
Charles nods to Le'gal, "I guess I'll take it for now." He puts it on for the next (eventual) rest. "How many coins are in here? I estimate a good two thousand, maybe more. Are we able to even carry all of this gold? And why would we need gold down here? We haven't found any sort of merchant yet... very intriguing..."
"Apparently, after adding up the gold, we will each have 666 gp to carry around. I hope none of you are superstitious." Talon evenly divides the gold to the group. Looking at Charles Talon says "I do think that Mantle of Spell Resistance looks good on you. If you find it heavier than you like I will be glad to take it from you. Your skills will be well served by a beautiful cloak like that one. Use it well and go with my blessing. I will hold on to this cursed horn but I don't plan to use it. Perhaps we can trick some enemy into using it, but not against us of course. I do detest mixed blessings and this one is most definitely mixed."
Graxximus says first to Le'gal, "Thank you! I will christen it with the blood of our enemies soon" Graxximus then bangs the Mace against his shield and gives a satisfying smile.
Graxximus then turns to Nox, "I've heard a few growls heading this way so we should best move on... Or, we could use this illusion as an ambush site. I'll stand out here as bait, whatever is growling will come, then you all attack in force!"
Sigil speaks up. “I’ll not let you take that risk alone. The two of us will make more enticing bait, if there is indeed a point to fighting the creature that is drawling closer.”
Le'gal gives Talon a funny look, then simply brushed off any coin offered her way. "Divide my share among rest. Still have claim on coffin to extent. So if survived, have plenty enough waiting."She expresses, making the divide between the rest 800 gold flat. As for the exchange if any of the horn of blasting, the bugbear just keeps her own council to look again through her bats senses, if only for a moment.
"Prevention. No guarantee next area safe enough. But. Would move on if possible."Her council given, Le'gal leaves things to the others decide for a few moments more. And if the should move on, Charles is again scooped and plopped on her shoulders to keep the groups pace relatively quick. Either way, she only had so much patience...

The party discusses and distributes their newfound loot. Once decisions are made, they begin to ready themselves to move forward. However, the noises Graxximus heard a few moments ago are getting closer and closer. He can identify it better at this distance as huffs and puffs of some sort of animal. Whatever it is, it must be just around the corner now (the corner Le'gal's flying cat peeked at before you guys went looting.) Sigil and Nox hear it too.
As Graxximus and Sigil discuss their rules of engagement, given the potential threat, Le'gal pays a visit to the 'shepherd.' The darkness of that chamber makes it tricky to identify details. Nonetheless, a tall humanoid creature now sits at the far corner, surrounded by its flock as a child might be when playing with puppies.
Before Nox's Detect Magic fades away, she notices that the crystal dice in Charles' pocket are turning red-hot with arcane power. There seems to be a link between them and the mural depicting goblins in the treasure room.
Nox poke Charles with his wooden staff while he sitting Le'gal shoulder "I think that dice of yours recharged also before i lost my magicl sense it ws turning bright red for some reason"
Hearing the noise getting closer. "We might aswel deal with it right now we know it coming instead having chance getting surprised by it later on"
Graxximus turns to sigil and holds his mace to his heart, "It would be an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with you against any onslaught! One moment..."
Graxximus will take a step back into the illusion and say, "We have incoming. When you hear the cry for TEMPUS come out surprise them with our numbers."
Graxximus will step back forward in front of the illusion and nod to Sigil. He will then raise his shield.
If possible, Graxximus would like to Ready to scream, "TEMPUS" at the first sign of hostility from the approaching force.
Sigil steps out silently next to his fellow warrior, glyph on his head flashing once more (Graxximus is now Sigil’s ward), also raising his shield at the first signs of trouble.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Charles reaches in his pocket for the dice and takes them out. He looks them over, do they look any different? (16 +10 for Arcana/Investigation, +1 for Perception)
He will also inspect the mural on the wall, looking for anywhere to place the dice or something of that nature. (Here are more rolls cause I LOVE rolling dice :) 15 +10 for Arcana/Investigation, +1 for Perception)

For earlier, if possible:
In the brief window she has for a more focused look, Le'gal tries to discern the true nature of the "Shepard" and its "flock" despite the darkness and obscured details. All while pushing back regrets of having summoned no owls for the scout party.
Arcana: 18 (same bonus for any INT based skills that would be more appropriate.)
(@Lerus: If you need separate roll both, assuming its even possible let the top one be for the shepard, and this one for the critters: 8.)
Back to the Present:
Le'gal lowers Charles as soon as he gets antsy, but not without breaking eye contact on Nox. "Wisdom there. But..." She trails off into a sigh and repositions herself towards the center of the former treasure room to begin a ritual. Before allowing herself to be full consumed by it however, the last of her kitten spies is called back to find a corner to hide(17) but be help her comrades when the time is right to do so(ie. become engaged in combat). "I prepare retreat point. If needed... Good luck."
