This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Not on this level," says Nenne, casting a curious eye toward the walls. "Then again, there is much growth here. Could be obscuring it." She carefully picks her way through the hall, looking for any glimmer of metal like the plaques she saw on the floors below. (Perception 24)
After her brief walkabout, she returns to the group. "No plaques, though the corridor yonder has carvings of birds. That hall terminates in what seems to be an adamantine windmill with five blades. They look sharp. Also," she sneaks a glance down toward the floors below, "I heard rumbling in that pit. Far, far below us. Beneath the 5th level, perhaps. In the darkness."
Orvex gives the skull a look, but says, "There is a sarcophagus right there. I believe this is supposed to resemble Moa. If you recall correctly, Lemon, you desecrated his shrine." He gives the druid a sour look and then says, "Let's just see what this holds."
"I agree with the scribe," Nenne says. "With any grace, this will be relatively straightforward. Moa was the one too honest to lie, and who taught us that 'secrets hide truth'. Maybe that will continue here. But please," and she casts a very pointed look at the druid, "be exceedingly cautious."
Picking a booger out with his finger, Lemon casually (and lazily) flicks it over in the area of the sarcophagus. "Ye mean the shrine that me as a beast rammed into?" Lemon gives a little grin. "Ye let me talk to the 'god' an' I'll tell him me body will do it again!"
Allister shakes his head at Lemon. „Stop that, will ya? We need all the help we can get here, so if you antagonize a friendly god you may meet yours sooner than you like.“ He takes a deep breath and steps into the room
Looking through the skull at the sarcophagus Boosey looks curiously at the floating skull. "Moa was a serpent, yet there is a humanoid skull on top of this sarcophagus. We should be cautious here, there is the possibility that it could be Wongo the Su-monster in there." He looks round at the rest of the group. "I can try to lift the box, if everyone agrees?"
Seeing the flame vanish, Boosey says "I don't think any of us should enter that room other than Allister, except in dire need. Who knows what might happen if that other flame goes out?"
As soon as Boosey says he wants to lift the box Allister shouts „NO“ and holds a hand up. „Who knows if that triggers some trap or the coffin opens. I don’t want to be left alone in this room if that happens.“ In a calmer voice he says „Looks safe so far. You wanna join me?“ Suddenly he holds up his hand again. „Wait.“
Lemon watched the duo and then his head turned to the sarcophagus. He scratched his head in a little embarrassment, yet this time no "hehe" came forth. He looked to the sarcophagus and gave an apologetic nod, turning to Allister and saying, "Ye right. Apologies to ye as well. We be 'avin' to take this place 'ere seriously an' I be takin' it not." He spoke in dwarvish a little bit more than looked to Glimbul. "Sorry gnome. I be watchin' me words better around ye."
Allister still holds his hand up. „I talk to a little girl, in my head. Her name is Nepartak. She doesn’t know where she is, she can’t see, and she is afraid. Can you see the green light on the skull?“
"Speak no truth to the doomed child." Boosey says it quietly to the others. "We have to be very careful here." He calls to Allister, "The skull, does that belong to Nepartak? I can't see any green light from here."
Allister makes a scribble motion with his hand towards Orvex, mouthing the word „write“. When the scribe hands him something to write he writes down „She hears us talk. She is panicking. She is in the skull.“ He nods towards the skull. „No more talking of skulls. She is looking for her father. She needs to believe he is looking for her.“

„Okay, so bird carvings or this?“ He points at the open mouth/doorway

As Allister braces and steps through the jagged tooth mouth, he is relieved to come out unscathed and unmoleted by the skull in any way.
On the party's side, the left eye's flame winks out of existence.
Seeing the flame vanish, Boosey says "I don't think any of us should enter that room other than Allister, except in dire need. Who knows what might happen if that other flame goes out?"

"Have a very careful look around Allister. I woldn't be surprised if those skulls hold darts in them."

Nenne's jaw unclenches slightly at the diffusing tension and she calls out to the fighter, "Wait why? What do you see?"
Allister still holds his hand up. „I talk to a little girl, in my head. Her name is Nepartak. She doesn’t know where she is, she can’t see, and she is afraid. Can you see the green light on the skull?“
"Ye be tellin' me by the end of all this we all be havin' our own voices in our heads?"
Made you look.

Lemon looks to Allister and mouths slowly, 'Ask her who be her father.'
Made you look.
"Can she tell us her father's name?"
Allister turns to Orvex and speaks in another language
