This side cavern has an uneven floor and ceiling 50 feet high and is adorned with a scattering of stalagmites and stalactites. Three gargoyles perch atop 10-foot-high stalagmites. They spot you from a distance, talk among themselves briefly as they observe you for a little while, then fly off deeper into the cave system.
Regulus looks deeper into the cave system, “Shall we continue this way, or investigate the big, ominous runestone in the the last area?” He leans against one of the walls and crosses his arms.

Eris approaches the stalactite closer, and, just as before, casts Detect Magic to see if her magic sensors go off.

The stalagmite tower at the center of the main cavern is 120 feet tall and appears to have chambers hollowed out of the lower two-thirds of its height. The outer surface of the stalagmite has numerous footholds and ledges. The tower entrance is on the eastern side of the stalagmite. The outward-facing side of the door bears a bas-relief sculpture of a humanoid skull with a black sapphire embedded in each eye socket. Carved into the frame above the door are the words “GO AWAY!” written in Common. Your detect magic spell reveals a powerful aura of abjuration magic around each sapphire. Close examination reveals the image of a tiny black spider etched into each one.
Regulus moves to the door, resting the black iron tip of the Devil's middle finger on the skull face. "Nabenet Ogretsba!" The blade glows a sickly green hue which transfers from the blade to the skull as the 5th level dispel magic seeks to absorb the enchantment.

“I can sure see if it’s magical if that’s what you mean,” Eris confirms, but first sees if the staff could be moved in some way but using a Mage Hand to poke it. If nothing happens, she will cast Detect Magic.

The Responsible One tilts her head. "If you find magic, I can bring in some friends to try and dispel it," she offers.

Regulus nods in agreement, "I can also dispel magic if needed, or we can just kick down the door and hope for the best!"

Regulus bows to Petra, hands gesturing inside, “After you, Golden Goddess.”

Baird gives a snort of ridiculousness.
You enter the stalagmite at AREA 15, and head into AREA 16. Here's what you see:
Light. Wax candles in stone holders light the room.
Furnishings. In the middle of the room, a wooden chair faces a small wooden table upon which rests a game board topped with painted figurines.
Staff. Floating next to the table is a 5-foot-long staff made of chiseled ice.
"Eris, could you examine the staff for us?"

While Eris examines the staff, regulus will look at the game board on the table and inspect it. INVESTIGATION: 8
