"Well nothing magical." Leon tells the others as he finishes his magical detection of the area. He would turn and see what the others are still doing after his ten minutes of work was finished.
Collective brainstorming, though did not exactly reveal the mechanism, activating the statues, helped to deduce, that activation will make hands of the statues to move with some serious consequences for anyone near by. In addition, two things seemed to be interesting - both doors looked quite unused (the handles are not polished by hands, undisturbed dust on the decorations, no marks on the floor), however, there is almost a beaten path in the stone (faint, you need to look to notice) leading behind the eastern statue. Already familiar with the hidden doors of the place, you quite easily deduced the frame of yet another one, leading outside of the chamber.
Ramious grins, "Well done team. The bet is pulling open those doors gets you chopped up nicely by the statues. Anyone want to try it just for fun?" He grins mischievously. "Joking." He tries to push the secret door open...and sneaks that way, leading as usual.

The door opens easily enough. The frame itself is supposed to let one person to pass but the corridor behind is wider, two can go side by side. How compact is your formation? The marching order, please.
A short flight of stone stairs beyond the door leads upward. Ramious was already on the way to cross it in one energetic walk, when Leon, still under effect of his enhanced magical senses, from his position saw the aura of an Illusion School radiatinf from the stairs tiefling was about to pass.
Ramious stops, and looks back at Leon. Then he turns and glances forward, squinting his eyes as if that will let him pierce some illusion. "Really? I don't see anything."
He opens a belt pouch and pulls out a fist fill of ball bearings. He chucks them forward to see what happens.

Alyssa would pat her nose. There wasn't too much more she could offer in terms of information that Leon wouldn't of already shared, so the elf would reach out to gift their tiefling with a little bit of reassuring guidance, should there be a need for it. She'd then also hold her hands at the ready to cast any spells in reaction that could defend Ramious should something else go awry. Maybe she was over preparing, but after that last monster...
Ramious shrugs, "What's the worse that could happen?" He turns to leave, then turns back to the group, grinning, "That's a running joke in our squad when i was in the army. We'd say it every time we were sure something terrible was about to happen. That phrase has claimed four fingers, a hand, a leg, and poor poor ChalkDust." He shakes his head, remembering ChalkDust's gruesome death. Then he shrugs and heads up the stairs.

Ramious did not die, nor was he injured in any way. Instead, a giant mouth opened on the wall, loudly yelling repeatedly the same phrase. Once the shock was gone, Alyssa and Bernard realized, they understand the meaning:
The spell calls out in Dwarvish, “Alert! Alert! Intruders approach!”
At the top of the stairs a stone door carved with a dwarf’s face begun to glow softly.
"And activated some magical defenses if I am guessing..." Leon said as he glances up at the glowing door. He moves forward to get a look at it with detect magic up. He will give the help action to anyone trying to disarm traps with thieve's tools.
Leon studied the door and the angry glowing face for a moment only to realize this is nothing more than a simple "light" spell - to keep that part of the stairs well lit after the alarm goes on.
And yet, no one charged out of the door or drop something on top of curious travellers or open some pit under their feet. Once the mouth on the wall shut up, it is all peace and quiet.

Bernard shugs, "one door is as good as another." He then pulls out his bow and two arrows in preparation. "Um... can we get some light."

"Wait up there Ramious..." Leon calls out from the back. "There is illusion magic in play where you are about to walk..."
