Session 74 - Classical statues

In the demon room, you searched the weapon racks and found another teleport ring and some decent rations in a nook in the wall. 

You headed down the staircase behind the secret door. Finding another door at the bottom, you opened it to find a room with 2 giant iron four armed statues, a brazier, a suspended hourglass, a chest and a riddle. Van Petrol sneaked into the room and started climbing one of the statues. Everybody was terribly surprised when the statues animated and the hourglass flipped. When Barrett entered the room, the door slammed shut, splitting the party.

Van Petrol and Barrett retreated and Ireena charged forward, engaging the rusty statue. The spiders did their best but the statues were too large for their webs to have much impact. Ireena single handedly fought the somewhat ineffective rusty statue. Everybody else was desperately trying to open the doors without much effect till Hazel cast tear and Barrett teleported through the small gap that opened up. The first statue killed the spider that was trying to web it from the ceiling.

With the weakened door, Maevis burst through and charged the first statue followed by Barrett. Duca rushed to Ireena’s aid. Fierce fighting ensued, with the second spider getting killed. The hourglass flipped again. Barrett managed to wrest a gem from one of the statues arms. Maevis picked it up and threw it at the brazier but the gem scattered and she slipped over in a pool of spider blood. The first statue retreated to its alcove. Barrett used the hourglass as a chandelier and swung across the room to break open the rusty statue.

With the fighting over Van Petrol opened the chest and sleeping gas poured out, sending Hazel to sleep.
