Ramious stepped in the turnstile and disappeared from the view. The good thing, though, was the fact that the rest of the group could hear him still, and even better - you did not hear some immediate yelling, sounds of fighting or suspicious noises.
For Ramious
On the other side the 10x10ft wide corridor continued: still nicely dry, dark - and decorated with some niches on the either side. Ramious counted six of them. They begin just 10ft ahead and it looks like each contains something like a statue inside.
Alyssa would tilt her head in curiosity when Bernard would set down a gold piece. Feeling as though she had one to spare and nothing to lose, she’d mimic what Bugs did as she’d follow them through the turn style.
Everyone made it through the turnstyle safely (the golden coins were swept after Bernard and Alyssa at their turn) and now the group was standing together at the beginning (continuation, actually) of the corridor. The corridor runs straight ahead, nice and dry, for about 50-60ft, then turns (or ends? hard to tell in that darkness). You all could also see six niches, three along each wall - the first pair just 10ft ahead, and it looks like each contains a stone statue inside.
“What do you bet those statues are not just statues?” Leon says as he looks ahead. “Give me a moment to cast detect magic...” He starts casting detect magic as a ritual.
The ritual would take more than a minute, of course, but it did not look like the ugly winged statues of demon-like humanoids were about to go anywhere. All six were quietly sirring in their niches and later on did not illuminate with any magic aura.
Having completed his spell Leon frowns. “Well those statues are not magical.” He says. “i’d still watch my setep, but, hopefully, they won’t animate and attack us at leastt.”

Ramious shrugs, "They might just be creatures that look like rock. But...first...." He turns around. He examines the turnstile and figures out how they might get back. Can he wreck / disassemble the mechanism in anyway to make it so they can get back through? Investigation : 20
After, what is surely a fruitless attempt to counter the maze's contraptions, he turns back and walks over the first statue. Looking at it with suspicion, he grabs it and attempts to topple it over on to the floor.

The mechanism of the turnstile is not a complicated thing and but Ramious realised, that it is simply designed to rotate in one direction only - allowing anyone to come inside, but it will probably have to be destroyed completely, should you want to go back this way. And it would not be an easy task, although feasible with enough force applied (DC 24).
The statue remained when Ramious approached and even allowed to touch it (it felt like a rock - nothing betrayed any disguise). But when he tried to grab it to topple it over, the eies of the demonic statue flashed red, the creature - for it was definitely a creature - opened its mouth, screamed something that sounded like a rock-slide in action, spread its short wings and tried to claw thiefling in response. Leon was right ad well as the others that did not take his bet - the statues came to life.
Initiative!
(All the statues in melee range from Leon and Ramious (Alyssa and Bernard would not make it only to the farthest). The creatures have wings but there is not much space to fly, they can be reached no matter where they are. Three creatures on the left, three on the right. Ramious is engaged with the first one - G1 (next closest - G4))
(In Ramious' defense - the creature is unusual and slippery, but tuned out, it might not be the case still!)

Leon stepped forward (under accompaniment of the triumphant humming of Wave(s) in his head) but instead of using his new shiny weapon sent down the corridor a few words and a small white feather, that he fished out of his pouch. 1101081410
Surprisingly, "faces" of the creatures, that looked made of stone and indestructible, expressed sudden fear, that faded away from some of them, but others froze in place (looking like statues again) and then two of them run away down the corridor with panicked clacking, turning and disappearing from the view. Ramious's opponent remained frozen in front of him.
Alyssa would reach her hand out towards the creature Ramious was wrestling with. She'd whisper soft melodic words, firing of a streak of light from her palm.

In this cramped space one had to be careful with shooting and Alyssa's radiant bolt, sent with care, missed the ugly frightened creature. The other two, who managed to overcome their fear, did not hesitate to attack, acting as a good coordinated pack: one went after Ramious, the other attacked Leon, biting and clawing.

Not seeing anything bad at this point, Leon would follow Ramious through.
"Oh I know this," Bugs says and pulls out a gold piece. He holds it up and sets it on the turnstyle. He then goes through it after the others.

While Ramious does that, Bugs has his bow out and arrow ready. He's got his shot lined up incase the statue does animate.
