As with the fire bolt, Vesper's crossbow bolt flies across the room and his the statue with an audible "tink". It strikes the stone figure in the upper chest, not quite on the shoulder, but it's a solid strike. The bolt ricochets off of the stone and hits the floor with a high pitched clatter.
"One last try,"Chrys interjects. She approaches the statue, turns her head slightly leans in, sticking out her tongue as she inspects the seam. Taking out her hammer, she gives the statue a gentle tap here and there, listening to the vibration of the stone. When she's done testing it, she packs away the hammer and looks behind her. "Everybody stand back,"she finally says, waiting for the others to get proper clearance, just as they did with the firebolts.
"Duin protect me," she mumbles under her breath, grabbing the arm of the statue and trying to move it. Not forcing it with her brute strength, but rather pulling, pushing, twisting, or turning it, to see if any of the directions she tries causes the arm to rotate or give.
Nothing happens when Chrys taps at the statue with her hammer. To her ears, it appears to be solid stone, with no special qualities other than being carved from dark obsidian. However, when she begins monkeying around with the figure's arm, she discovers that it does indeed rotate at the seam of the shoulder.
When she pulls it downward, a small, but previously hidden hatch opens at the base of the statue, revealing a cavity that contains a small vial of bright green liquid.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Vesper calls up a Mage Hand and uses it to lift up the vial so that she can get a look at it. I don't know, but it must be special if they were trying to hide it like that.

Vesper's spectral hand lifts up the vial and and holds it in front of her for inspection. You realize that the liquid inside has a similar look to the liquid that's inside the two potions that Ehrland gave you. With her arcane experience, Vesper determines that it's very likely another healing potion.
Vesper pulls the hand towards her and collect the vial. "It's a healing potion. I don't know how strong it is, but given how much effort it took to find it, it probably isn't the normal kind."

"I wonder if there is something hidden in the other one!" Krackle would exclaim as he hopes over towards the other statue and begins pulling and pushing and lifting on the limbs and pressing on various parts of its body.
Vesper walks over to Krackle, as nothing happens. I know that he wants to make money for his parents, but I can't help but think that maybe we shouldn't have brought a six-year old child along with us. He's enthusiastic, which can be good, but it can also cause him to not be fully aware of how dangerous this is and do something without thinking. He's gotten lucky so far and nothing bad has happened, but sooner or later he'll act without thinking and get himself into a mess that's too big to get us out of. She keeps her thoughts to herself at the moment, but she knows that at some point she needs to have this conversation with one of the others.
"Okay, that's all there is here. Time to get moving."

(OOC: So just wondering how many characters would know that 6 years is TECHNICALLY fully mature for a kobold? Granted... he was essentially raised by a young girl that left him when she was in her lower teens..)
"Aww.. I guess there are no more secrets in here." Krackle would say as he kicks a small rock across the floor. "I am ready to go.. I hope we can beat all those goblins... Pox seemed to think it was going to be pretty scary up ahead." The tiny kobold would say as he draws his dirk and holds hit tightly in his hand.. holding it a little low to the ground due to its weight. He would hold his little wand-like staff in the other.
OOC: Vesper doesn't know how quickly Kobolds mature. She just sees the way that he gets excited and acts without thinking and gets worried that he's too young for this.
"We can beat the goblins. We just have to remember to stick together and be smart when we go in there."
Noting how fire didn't work, Vesper will take out her crossbow and take a shot at the seam with Krackles help.

"Let's be careful, everyone, we could be making an awful lot of noise."
Kess would hang back from the group a bit, taking care to lighten her step and try and discern if trouble was about:
Perception: 3
Stealth: 20

Again, nothing else happens.
"If you guys are willing to risk the noise, I could try again, or we could press on. It's up to you."

"Try again Vesper! I think we wind took it a bit last time!" The kobold would say as he ignites a small ball of flame in his hand. "I'll help again!"
"Ok, but this is the last shot I'll make."
Attack: 9 Damage: 7
"Yeah, we're done." Vesper says, putting away her crossbow as the bolt completely misses.

Vesper backs up even further when Chrys advances, keeping one of the potions that Ehrland gave them ready.

From where she is backed up, Vesper facepalms and mentally readies herself to administer at least one potion.

A massive burst of electrical energy explodes from the statue, sending the little kobold flying across the room...
Just kidding.
Nothing happens. Neither of the arms on the other statue move in any direction, nor does Krackle find any secret crevices or triggers of any kind.
OOC: I couldn't resist. 😆
