Tarak moves into the room, axe ready, looking for any signs of trouble. This is some sort of temple of the Grasping Flame, I am sure. He looks about to see if he can tell if the mosaic is old?
Morrigan determines unsurprisingly that the stone column on the bridge is magical. However, she is unsure what is the source of that magic.
Tarak steps into the room, giving it a careful once over. He finds no immediate threats, however, as he passes closer by one of the columns, he notices each column looks like a mass of grasping, flaming tentacles wrapped around screaming humans, their faces frozen in pain. Unsettling as the images are, something else catches his eye on the column. Inside one of the screaming mouths, there seems to be something...is that a button?

It would be rude not to. Unable to control his natural chaotic urges any longer, the giant half-orc approaches the screaming mouth and presses the button...
"A question asked. A test passed. No fun at all. The one you seek lies beyond the double doors. Keep an eye for secrets." I wonder what that click was, was it related to the secrets we need to keep an eye out for?
(If you like, you can investigate to see exactly where the clicking sound came from. You'll just need to tell me what/where you are investigating. Or, if you are looking for answers to the riddle above, you can share it with your allies.)

"Everyone, listen a moment, please," Tarak asks the team before progressing. "When we killed that tentacle-cat-creature as a test, it told me something. It said, 'The one you seek lies beyond the double doors. Keep an eye for secrets.' Did you all hear that click just now? It seemed to come from behind the throne. Is it possible that there's something secret behind there?" he asks them.
"Perhaps we unlocked something when we killed it?"Camilla wondered out loud. "Someone brave should go check out that throne."she said, pushing her glasses back up from her nose.
"There is evil at work here, we must keep an eye on each other. Let us proceed to the throne." Sydril says, heading that way assuming that at the very least Tarak will join her.
Morrigan follows them towards the throne writing in her book. Looking up at the mention of a click she freezes. "In the future we should not press random buttons without taking a look at them."
Tarak will provide Camilla with some help in her search. "I am not sure it was on the throne," he tells her. "Have you looked at the floor behind it? Or the wall?"
OOC: hopefully Camila can re-roll her Investigation check with my assistance.

Tarak depresses the button and everyone hears an audible click from the wall behind the throne.

Tarak will approach the throne warily.

Investigation check for behind the throne 1
"OOh!" Camilla winces as Sydril's head hits the sliding glass door. I mean, the throne.
Investipoopy: 5
"Guys! I found a throne!" she declares.
Sydril holds her head. "Ugh, me too, with my face."
Camilla laughs, wrapping an affectionate arm around Sydril, comforting her.
Morrigan follows them towards the throne writing in her book. Looking up at the mention of a click she freezes. "In the future we should not press random buttons without taking a look at them."
Using his Comprehend Languages, which i believe is still up, Zook looks around for any writing that might be read...
Tarak will provide Camilla with some help in her search. "I am not sure it was on the throne," he tells her. "Have you looked at the floor behind it? Or the wall?"
OOC: hopefully Camila can re-roll her Investigation check with my assistance.

Looking beyond the throne with Tarak's assistance, Camilla locates a seam in the wall that resembles the size of a door....a hidden door!
