"Go? go where? back the way we came? This place seems fairly convinced it wants to kill us no matter where we go.....George can you open this other door for us?"

Peaking through the tempest of souls both you and George are trapped inside, you can see at the top of the grand staircase, an amber hand grab a pillar. The rest of the body soon follows. An amber giant, standing at least 16 feet tall. Instead of a normal head, there is the carved head of a falcon. It scans the room from atop the stairwell, then takes another step. Boom. And another, boom. Each step is like a thunderclap. It is slow, but it’s size makes up for its speed.
I need stealth checks from everyone to avoid The Amber Golem!

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the Amber Golem reaches the base, it places a hand upon the statue and scans around it with its unmoving gaze. Will it perceive? 15. With that, the Amber Golem walks past Bry and Elwarith, into the room containing Adanmar and George. It’s foot slams right next to Adanmar, who dives and manages to pull George aside as well. The Amber Golem’s gaze moves past Adanmar, missing him, as it claps its hands Hulk-style against the specters. They scatter into ectoplasm as the Amber Golem turns, moving past you all once more, and returns up the staircase. However, not before it slams a fist into the wall of stone, which sends it crashing to the floor, revealing the statue’s face once more. You all wait for a moment, satisfied that the Golem has returned to its previous duties.
Elwarith, seeing the wall collapse next to the statue quickly ducks in to the room with George and Adanmar hoping to get out of the statues firing line...

Truly, it is. So, this room has been cleared. There remains the other, closed door, which we will say George can open. On the other hand, there is also the western hallway. It is up to you.

It’s a mimic! Wait no, no that’s just a wall. This place, the whole of Barovia is just starting to play tricks on your mind. It’s like this whole place is just one big prison! Regardless, this seems like a statue, through and through.

The Revenant gently bows beside George, pointing with his left palm upwards, the closed door, he smirks at his companion "Would you mind my friend?"
Adanmar, with your assistance, George pushes the locked doors open with Herculean strength, (He rolled 30, which is pretty impressive!). Inside, piles of treasure are heaped against the west and east walls of this stone room. However, a familar giant statue carved from amber in the likeness of a hawk-headed humanoid stands in a wide alcove to the north. It seems your old friend the janitor has a twin, but it seems to be dormant. Behind it, a crack has formed in the wall. It would be big enough for you all to squeeze through. However, you also realize that Grim has scampered off down the western hall.

The Revenant peeks outside the smashed doors they pass through to see if he can spot who or whatever is causing these tremors...

Yes, careful. This creature is at least the size of two George’s and just as brawny. Quite the hulk of a monster.

You are quick enough that you may. Additionally, it seems that the statue’s blind spot is behind it.

"Amber is the color of your Janitor" Bry says as he hums a familiar tune.

Elwarith will attempt to investigate the statue once more (the back side of it not going anywhere near the front)

"Guys I'm not even sure this IS a statue anymore....." and he'll shrug "or maybe I'm just exhausted..."
