This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Being a stubborn dwarft Ebokk follows a few steps after the rest then stops looking back.
He grunts a bit then follows the others again seeing they are trying to stay out of sight. Ebokk bends through his knees a bit as he walks carefully behind them.
The magically lit hallway is built such that any noise seems to be magnified and echoes off the walls, floor and ceiling. The party attempts to move quietly, but are fairly unsuccessful, especially with Maldorn's and Ebokk's armors clinking.
Peering around the corner, Erric, you can see another room 20 or so feet further. On the far wall is another carved relief, but you can't make out the details from 50 feet away.
Bringing up the rear Ebokk will move in closer to the group and follow Ericc into room. He holds his shield up as he moves around, holding it closely as the metal scrapes against his breastplate every now and then.
Erric with Ebokk following closely behind (and Jambiya and Maldorn lurking on the threshold) enters the next 30x30x30 room. This one (like the last when you first entered it) only has the one entrance/exit, and it contains nothing. Dominating the far wall is an intricate carved relief of two flying monstrosities. The first, a winged lion with a disturbingly human-like face, brandishes a tail tipped with deadly spikes. The second is more akin to a giant eagle, but topped with the head of a stag, complete with menacing antlers. An accompanying plaque reads, "In their early days, Raman found fame by slaying a marauding Manticore, while Grath dispatched a Peryton to make his name known."
"What if we have to fight the painting? Or they come to life? Let's see, Raman always went first. Does anyone know which one is a manticore and which is a peryton? Maybe we have to try to hit the manticore first."Erric says, stepping just into the room.

He will also inspire Maldorn, singing almost to himself, "You're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no, you're in the room then you're out, you're big spoon then you're little, you're strong then you're brittle, it's pitch black and it's bright, we fight, we break stuff..."
As the others all enter the room, Jambiya also enters, walking up to the relief. "I wonder which one was the artist," she asks nobody in particular. Reaching a hand out, she stops herself before touching it.

"That one," she points to the antlered thing, "Is the peryton, and that other one is a manticore. They throw those spikes, if I recall the story correctly, and both of these are pretty fierce."
Looking around the room, she adds, "I have no idea what to do here."
Erric, you really don't know much about either creature. Jambiya, however, seems pretty well-versed. Maldorn, you are inspired for the next 10 minutes and can add 1d6 to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. (Mobius, I checked one inspiration off your character sheet since I was already there.) And we shouldn't forget that Maldorn as a +1 to his INT modifier for another 45 minutes or so.
Erric (unless someone stops him), if Jack is still operating, has him walk forward and touch the manticore painting in a few places. If Jack is no more, then he'll begin to fire off a couple sling stones at the manticore.
As she notices Jack begin pressing on things, Jambita backpedals from the relief, heading to a corner that Maldorn is not in, to spread the party out again. At this point she doesn't have any better suggestion than to random press on the relief, so she keeps quiet.

Jambiya will follow Erric at a prudent distance, say, ten feet.

If he can move quietly, he will (assuming Maldorn's okay, and he and Ebokk are okay with proceeding).
Stealth: 10
After the ointment takes effect and his skin does not feel as crinkly, Maldorn is ready to move onward.
Jambiya will also try to be quiet.
Stealth: 11

Here's a stealth roll for Maldorn as well: 6
OOC: Hmm... I should look into getting new armor for Maldorn.

Jambiya will keep position about ten feet behind Erric. If he proceeds around the corner, she will follow, noting the carved relief.

“Maybe this one won’t try to flame broil us,” Erric says, moving forward into the room, eyes peeled for anything weird, but not moving slowly.
Being her new cautious self, Jambiya will pause at the threshold of the room, looking inside and watching Erric as he enters.

Maldorn follows too, but he is careful to spread out so the group is not clustered.

Maldorn enters the room and finds an unoccupied corner. His aim is to spread out.

Thanks for the assist!

Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Maldorn readies an arrow for any monster that appears (excluding the three beholders.)
As she notices Jack begin pressing on things, Jambita backpedals from the relief, heading to a corner that Maldorn is not in, to spread the party out again. At this point she doesn't have any better suggestion than to random press on the relief, so she keeps quiet.
