The song IS in fact the song of Cyric used by his cultist during ceremonial rites.
Xenruth
You discover a thunderstone trap set to go off if all your weight was put on the uneven stone slate, which you disarm. The thunderstone can be taken as a prize and used again to set another trap. Do you take it?
Everyone
Moving on with Xenruth's guidance the narrow corridor however dead end into closed door. It looks like it's made of plain wood with a latch to open it. To the left of the door scrolled about the height of a gnome on the wall it says in gnome "It can't be killed by magic." You can now tell the music is playing from behind the closed door!
"The music is coming from here I believe, you, are there any traps?" I say trying to refrain from calling him drow, since I still don't remember his name.

"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."
{Be a good time for everyone to introduce your characters in-game eh? PS after this night's session I'll say you've had a long rest and be able to recharge spells etc.}
"Ah, Gnomish, I thought the script looked familiar, so about that door...." any light coming around the seams? any latches or handles visible? any buckets of water poised to fall on us as it is opened?
"Stand back from the door everyone, and be ready" Shadow stands away from the door and uses Thaumaturgy to open it. (Note this only works if it is not locked)
The words are written in some sort of black pitch but as of when you can not tell.
Shadow
The door opens to a room with a roaring fire and what looks like a banquet table. On the far end of the room you see the instrument, which looks very much like a harp laid flat atop a piano, but the music is being played as if by the instrument itself! The room seems welcoming somehow yet still gives off a close feeling as if it's been closed up for a very long time.
The banquet table is laid with foods from all ethnicities of the group. It all looks and smells fresh, it beckons you as if you've been starving for days. You gathering around the table now looking it over then to each other. What will you do? Everyone make a Wisdom saving throw.
I forgot to post zillah' description. Pale white skin, silver white hair. Two small black horns, and black eyes

To open the door or not to open the door is the question...

I halt, quietly disarm the trap, pick it up and place it in my bag, then continuing on.
(This is my last post for tonight)
Is there anything on the table or any signs of use? Any exits visible from here?
