Now that the party has reassembled and Zillah is keen to move on what door do you choose or are you willing to chance a statue? Do they all move or are they simple gaudy decorations? It is still early morning and although you are outside (you think) you do not hear anything natural about this courtyard. There are no bird's song nor breeze. The sun however looks real enough as it begins to warm the courtyard around you. Each door looks the same, each statue however has a different pose. Do you investigate each before moving towards a door or are you just choosing a door?

"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."
{Yo Bob this isn't a combat heavy game as I empathized in the beginning it's a homebrew dungeon crawl if you haven't noticed. This is more riddles, traps, and decisions. So if you aren't going to help make those I don't know how else you're going to participate!}

Door E is directly across the courtyard from the party. Zillah came from door G. As you walk toward door E you pass the fountain at the center of the courtyard which has gone fairly unnoticed. Want to investigate?

You notice there's something in the fountain and that it isn't exactly full of water, the fountain with a slow trickle of water disappears over a spiral staircase leading down!
Zillah is standing on the other side of the door, looking very angry.
"Geralt is dead. If anyone else lays a hand on me, I WILL PUT YOU IN THE GROUND!!"
she pushes past shadow and looks around the room.
"there isn't anything back there. Just another dead end!"

You come into an octagon open air courtyard it's early morning, you see your party companions in shock of your reappearance!

"What happened?"
Can I make a check to see if she's actually angry, or if it's magic or something?

"Welcome back, Zillah." Xunreth says, seemingly indifferent about her return.

Let's go with the door across from the one we came in.

Door E is directly across the courtyard from the party. Zillah came from door G. As you walk toward door E you pass the fountain at the center of the courtyard which has gone fairly unnoticed. Want to investigate?

"Let's check this fountain out, Kohl or Xunreth wanna lead the way?"
