Alyssa would shake her head at herself. At Bugs' suggestion, she'd move to his side to take a look at the figures with the staff as well. "Why don't you give it a shot?" She'd offer an encouraging smile.
Ramious motions to Alyssa, "No no, you play with the little toys. We'll just tear this door apart as a last resort." He continues standing to one side of the door, leaning against the wall.

Bugs looks back at Ramious and shrugs. Lifting his hand a small swarm of bugs crawl up the diorama and try to ory the staff from the figures hands. If they can, they will fly it to his hand.
(Alyssa was encouraging Bugs to do what he had suggested and use the staff :) She didn't want to take it over on him.)
Alyssa would grin with a raised brow when Ramious would motion to her about 'playing with little toys'. She'd then happily step aside to let Bugs do the honours, as he had made the suggestion.
(I think Alyssa's the only one who doesn't have mage hand? lol )
Surprisingly, nothing bad happened - the invisible hand successfully separated the staff from the figure without even disturbing it. What Bernard held in his own hands now, looked a lot like a key (may be not that much, but enough to suspect that it can be a key). The problem is, Ramious already studied the door and did not notice any keyhole. But may be a second look could help? Otherwise, the pitons, that Leon hammered, and the rope were still there.
Bugs held up the key like thing triumphly. "I think I have a key. Now, where does it go?" He asks and then heads over to the door. He looks at the shape of the key like mini staff and then for holes of similar shape. He will pay particular attention to that star burst at the top.
That was a good guess - in the most unexpected place, in the upper part of the sun symbol, one of the stylized rays had a small well concealed hole. The lower part of the staff (that had tree short projections) slipped inside and turned easily. The door slowly opened up by itself (indeed, inside the room), revealing a short dark corridor behind that was turning left at the end.
Owl was not attacked either when he turned and reported back peaceful and even pretty picture: the stone walls of this corridor (after the turn) are carved to resemble a stack of bamboo-like logs. The passage slopes down beginning from that bend and leads to double doors of beaten bronze, worked to resemble a forest of seaweed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bugs dropped the key in a pocket after the door began to open. He had a big grin on his face for having solved the puzzle. "Welp, I did my part, the rest is up to everyone else," he says. Then holds up his arms and laughs a little. "I kid," he says as he calms down and pulls out two darts as a precaution. Turning to Leon he asks, "We good to proceed?"
If Leon gives the go ahead Bugs will begin to stealthily scout and look for traps
Ramious smiles at the well oiled machine that are his friends, and follows them down the hallway, giving Bugs a helping hand watching for traps. (HELP action).

Ramious walks slowly next to Bugs, but instead of helping much seems distracted by the beautiful wall carvings. When they reach the door made to look like kelp, he's especially impressed. "Well, someone sure put a lot of effort into this place."
He attempts to open the Kelp door.

Perception is good, though it seems everyone were way too relaxed after three safe rooms with no apparent danger.
Bernard disappeared in the shadows of the passage ahead, followed by others. Distracting decorations on the wall and confidence in each others observance lead to the first small disaster: a click under Bernard's foot - and several of the logs swung out from either wall and slammed into the party, pushing everyone forward a bit, towards the double doors. (Everyone take 9 bludgeoning damage)
The stone logs didn’t swing back, though but instead effectively blocked the passage, since they bar the way from ceiling to floor with only a 6-inch gap remaining between the logs. The only open path is forward, through the doors.
Ramious nods to Leon, "Good stuff." He reaches up and presses the stone above the door, just for fun.

Stone above the door did not do anything (may be for the best), the rest had to be tested.

just an unstable unicorn.
So, what would it be - pulling the door or pulling the staff?

“Nicely done.” Leon sayd in a soft voice when the door opened. He sent his owl flying down it, tkaing a look at the area around the bend.

Alyssa would fall in line, following the others. She too would be a bit distracted looking over the wall carvings as they went.
