Chen rushes forward, Toc putting himself flat against the wall to let the dragonkin past, his hammer out and slamming down. The creature nimbly dodges the first slam which crashes into the wall, sending shards of rock flying, but the second backwards slam catches the creature in the chest, sending it crunching against the wall, more rock flying.

Scrap it - so, Chen comletely blocks the way to sentinel it seems.
Mirica stands right behind Chen - that was a minor help, but divine protection sometimes can work miracles.
(Not sure how it works with Initiative, but if Mirica can be physically within 5ft of Chen - Fighting Style: Protection (While wielding a shield and a creature you can see attacks a target other than you within 5 ft., you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.))
Mirica could not reach over Chen, of course, but she could make sentinel's "life" more interesting: Spike Growth (placed in a way to not affect Chen.
"You again?" Fianna sighs, exasperated. She makes three quick little flicking motions with her left hand and mutters "cas cloch ina dheannach" which causes three crackling beams of energy to flash out and strike at the sentinel.
Chen's intent had been to subdue or neutralize the guardian. But as the stone sword cut through his scales, a flash of anger burst behind his eyes, and his tactic involuntarily changed to one of brutal destruction!
Jahren and Loane seem somewhat distracted. Spikes form all around the creatures feet as blasts of energy from Fianna slam into it, sending shards of rock flying. Now growling, Chen slams his hammer into the thing, cracks appearing in it's stone body. Still it attacks, but Mirica seems to be helping try to keep its blows from landing on Chen.
Loane and Jahren seem unable to help, since the hallway is so narrow and there's already a crowd between them and the creature.
(Stone dude's last attack had advantage from Reckless Attack, cancelling out disadvantage from Mirica, but result would have been the same. Reckless Attack again this round)

The good news was - magic did not go wild so far, the bad - her "divine presence" was not enough. Mirica raised the shield: Bane (Char save DC17) Since it is from the shield, it does not require concentration and lasts for 1 minute.
Peering around the people in front of her, Fianna continues again with Eldritch Blast as some of the more powerful spells would be s little messier and splash onto her friends. "carraig go púróga" she says, sending three more blasts at the creature.

"I can block it again if needed," Fianna will call out. "But I'm afraid we'll just encounter it again elsewhere... But if you get hurt Chen, just say the word!"

The creature takes another couple swipes at Chen, who seemed disinclined to respond to Fianna as spittle flies from his mouth as he seems to launch his body at it again and again, the Maul all but smashing the thing in half...but somehow it retains it's structure.....
It attacks him twice more, though Mirica's magic seems to affect it.
For a while Spikes (Santinel was still dancing on them) was all Mirica could add to the offense. Precious few spells still seemed to be too risky... Oh, wait - that she could do from afar!
Three more blasts of magic from the Fey girl and the statue crumbles into chunks of rocks, a pile of rubble lays in the hallway, the elven sentinel destroyed.
Another Toc appears at the end of the hallway. You glance back and forth, and realize the first Toc was wearing green and must therefore be Tic. Toc, in blue strides down the hallway and regards the rubble, then shrugs and looks to the group. "I'm back. With diamond dust. Pity about the guardian, but this tomb is one from a long lost society, so it's quite fortitious we came across it actually. Some of these secret elven societies were very covetous of their power and magic, so unearthing some of these could be good luck. Though...as you can see, they are not entirely unguarded and some of the guardians can be quite formidable. Luckily this one was alone."
He walks past the rubble and passes several pouches filled with diamonds and diamond dust to Mirica. "Here you go. As requested. I also got a mortar and pestle in case we need to turn some diamond into diamond dust." He winks and passes that over as well.

"The Order. At least that is what was written around some treasure in the room near by." Mirica nodded accepting diamonds and the means to grind them (it was very considerate of Toc, indeed). "Is there any way to ... " (she searched for the words) "make them not animated again?"
(Unable to calm Chen down she had to step away and let Jahren to work his magic)
Jahren walks over and calms Chen down, the slamming of the rubble slowly ceasing. Dust and bits of stone are splattered everywhere, chips of rock on people's jackets and in their hair. The huffing and puffing of Chen fills the dark hallway along with the long dark shadows cast by the lantern.
Toc looks to Mirica, "I'm afraid not. Initiation into some of these elven groups was very complex. With no surviving members with knowledge of how they worked, these things unfortunately will just continue to protect their domain forever. I mean, unless you consider Chen's hammer and Fianna's magic a way. Chen's hammer seems to have effectively stopped it from animating again." He motions to the pile of rubble.

Mirica dusted off stone crumbs and sighed: "A pity. As terrifying as they are - they are still beautiful." She looked around with a sad yet admiring expression: "I wish I saw this place when it was still alive."
"But it's not." Mirica become collected and serious again. "Do you think something in that Order's treasure can be useful? It seems our enemy failed to claim them. Some special magic that is dangerous to him, may be?"
Toc shrugged, "Undoubtedly treasure can be useful. I would imagine that this particular trove has not yet been found by our current enemy. It would take many lifetimes to unearth and discover all that their is to behold beneath Myth Drannor my friends."

Appearing just after the stone sentinel was smashed to bits, Jahren simply remarks "oh" in a tone that might suggest he also means "oops". Seeing Chen enraged once again, he says a more urgent "OH, on it" and goes to see his new friend.
Returning to the doorway leading back towards the tapestry and the items bound to the Order, Jahren suggests "I think it would be worth knowing what all of this is, if you'll allow me the time." He is of course also happy to let Toc or anyone else who can Identify.
(Sorry, kept being available when it was not my turn, then busy for 6-8 hours when it was, etc. Oh well. Jahren was happy to chip in some on the diamonds. How much did we spend?)

Mirica was not even surprised. But Toc was here, meaning, diamonds were here too - at least some hope of safety.

Sometimes it's good to have a bunch of large bodies between you and danger... Just so long as you can still see to aim.
