The cold ligth hits the ooze, freezing most of it. The jelly monster flails around, breaking into icy shards and splattering goo all over the place. It's not going to bother anyone else.
Rhok, the jelly next to the wall to your right is angry and no longer frozen.
The bolt pierces the remaining jelly and flies out of its back. Goo spills out of both holes like a watersking under too much pressure, leaving just a puddle in the floor.
With both monsters vanquished, we are out of initiative order.

Rhok picks up his torch, fans around the room to make sure nothing else is hiding in the corners or ceiling, and looks to see if any of his bolts can be salvaged

What remains of Rhok's bolts is corroded and half digested by the jellies internal fluid, they don't seem to be salvageable. You find no other signs of life in this room, the ochre jellies probably ate everything long ago. But looking at the column that the first jelly used to slide down from the roof, you notice the outline of a small door in the slime, maybe a foot wide and twice as tall.
"We seem to have got them all." Lia says, walking back in once the mold things were dealt with. She has her familiar return to her and moves around, checking the area fairly carefully, trying to see if there are any hidden doors or such around the place. Her familiar gives her the help action.

"Good work, everyone"Lothlién says, after a deep breath. He proceeds to look around the room too, giving special attention to the altar and its sorroundings.
Rhok tosses the corroded bolts to the side with a grumble, then walks to the column, with a piece of cloth begins to clean up the outline of the door. "Should we let the dwarves know that the monsters have been dealt with? I found this door outline here in this column" and traces the outline to show everyone

Sabastian flies around the room and stops in front of the north wall. Following her familiar's path, Lia notices a hidden door in the same fashion of the one already opened in the previous room. Pushing on it you notice that it's unlocked, you could open it if you want.
"Good work, everyone"Lothlién says, after a deep breath. He proceeds to look around the room too, giving special attention to the altar and its sorroundings.
The altar is made out of a stone different from the walls and ceilings. It seems that it was brought here from afar and not carved out of the mountain like the rest of the temple. There are dark stains on its top and lines dripping from it. You assume those are blood stains from sacrifices made here long ago. You can see traces of paint in the wall behind the altar, but the oozes have smudged them beyond recognition. Looking closely you notice the outline of a door. It's smaller than the one Lia just found and seems to be locked.
Xarroth is dusting hands hands off, shimmering ice and flakes catching the light. "I cannot say I disagree; excellent work."
The dragonborn says just before he lights a torch with a quick blow, using the light to try and discern what this place was or used for...
This looks like most temples you have seen before. The ceiling being only 10 foot tall feels a bit constricted, but you guess that from a dwarf point of view may be more impressive.
The small door in the stone pillar has no clasp that you can see. But the gap is wide enough for you to lodge the tip of a dagger in it. Following the outline something clicks inside and the door sprungs open. Dwarf skulls fall to the floor with a clattering noise, scattering around you and startling your companions.
"This place seems full of secrets." Lia says as she glances back at the sound of the falling skulls. "I found a door here as well, but let's check out one thing at a time..." She walks back to help with the skull storage area.

skulls tumbling around his feet, Rhok carefully, not to crush the skulls, peers inside to see if it is only the area of the column, or if it goes further / stairs in the floor

The cavity goes halfway into the column, it was clearly designed as storage space. You can see the rotten remains of wooden shelves inside, which probably held the skulls currently at your feet. There are still a couple skulls at the bottom and you can see a small stone coffer under them.
"Find anything in there?" Lia comes up as her companion sticks his head into the skull storage. "Careful, maybe that's how all of those skulls got in there in the first place... Try not to add yours huh?"
Xarroth comes on over, sighing after not seeing anything that truly captures his interest, "If you all wish to study dwarf skulls, I will tell our hospitable friends of our victory to set their worries at ease."

"lol, good point, I'll try to not to add to the collection! There's a small coffer in here!" Rhok pulls the coffer out away from the pillar. "I agree with Xarroth we should get the dwarves"
inspect the coffer for traps, etc (investigation check): 12
"Nice." Lia says as she sees the coffer. She nods to her other companions. "Up to you if you want to tell the dwarfs yet, or if you want to look around a bit more, prior to getting them involved." She pauses a moment. "Might be a bit harder to keep things for us once the dwarfs are in here with us though..."
As Xarrothhears this and stops to turn and talk to Lia with scorn across his brow, "This place is of Dwarvish heritage, is it not? We agreed to assist, not rob graves. Perhaps you should take some time to reflect; the true treasure are not found in chests, and are many times more rewarding."

The coffer comes easily out of the cavity. It is carved out of single stone and has a few old dwarven runes carved on the lid. It does not seem to be protected by any traps and the lock is held in place by a stone pin that slides sideways. You can open the chest if you choose to do so.
