The Valley of Ends

ONyx Arcana Check DC 14

2

Onyx finds no mechanisms that could close and nothing to tell him that is anything magical in the tunnel in the tunnel. On closer inspection, the party sees what looks poannels in the pillars that could be pushed with different symbols on them.

Once the tunnel seams not to shut close behind them, Onyx would carefully proceed into the room and take a closser look at those pannels.

All the pillars have different icons on panels, all facing the center of the room and where the trapdoor is in the ceiling.

(till be updated with pillar icons in a bit)

 One is a straight line. 
One is a Y
looks like a M with to curves coming from the middle.
One is a V
One is a line that turned to an angle.
One looks like a fortune cookie
One looks like  a cityscape with a cross
One looks like a cross with the horizton tilted
One looks like X with a line in the middle
One looks like an hour glass
One looks like the left half of an H
One looks like a cross.

Each pillar got one symbol? Can the symbols be moved or removed?

looks like the panel they're on are meant to be pushed like a button, not pulled out. 

Resfaen will look around the room to see if she can see anything else that might explain this puzzle.

Perception: 20

Nothing stands out to Resfaen.

There is nothing new to see in this room at this point (3 Perception checks later, the room has been visually scan from top to bottom)

(I am at a bit of a loss right now, which is why I have not been posting. Can we get a summary of what our options are and what is aroun dus? I know we have the pillar room, with the buttons to be pressed, but I don't think we have any real way to know what buttons to press, and am not sure if we have been giving any way to find that out. A summary of the current situation hopefully will help me reorient.)

Room:

large 60ftx60ft room with pillars, There's two ways out, the tunnel you came through and tunnel/pitfall in the ceiling in opposite corner. There's a concealed sealed trapdoor in the middle of the room in the ceiling. The room seems to be upside down to it's indented  orientation. 

Give me straight intelligence checks (will just take first two)

Salys: 14

Salys thinks and thinks for a bit before remembering he saw the hour glass symbol on a statue of the two figure back on the first level, on the male statue chest.

Salys examines the symbols for s moment, then shrugs, “Well, only one way to find out.” And he’ll move over to push the hourglass button.

Above the party, the party hear something heavy sliding but then nothing.

„I think if we get the right code, we unlock that trapdoor. If we use the wrong one, then those holes have a nasty surprise for us.“ Onyx adds after hearing the sound.

"That did something, anyone remember what symbol was on the next statue? I am assuming if we push the buttons in order of the rooms the statues were in, this trap door might open." Resfaen suggests.

Everyone remembers seeing another statue before coming through the tunnel but didn't investigate close enough to see a symbol on it. 

Going back through the tunnel, one of the party members inspects the statue closer to find symbol matching the M with two two curved lines coming from the middle. While waiting the rest of the party hears the stone seems to slid back into place.
