Henleber started down the tunnel, crawling rather than stooping, and carefully pushing his pack ahead of him. As he rounded the corner, he stopped and hammered a piton into the tunnel and ran a rope through it tying one end around his waist and tying the other end to his pack and keeping a close grip on that. (After 50 feet if he has found no traps, he is going to untie it from his waist, pull it all the way to him, hammer another piton and rinse and repeat).

As he went, he did his best to check for Traps as well, as he expected some kind of trick.

Perception Check 21

The tunnel winds to the right and begins to decline. It goes down for about fifteen feet before winding again to the right. It continues in this direction, slightly declining all the way, for another fifty feet or so before winding to the left. So far you have found no traps. The tunnel continues for another fifty or so feet in this direction, winding twice yet again but for the most part keeping this general direction of what you presume to be South. Suddenly, around the last bend, the tunnel stops dead at a blank wall of stone.[/i]

Henleber continued till he saw the wall of stone and then paused for a moment but he had seen far too many fake blank walls to take that as a definitive answer. He pulled out a sling and fired at the wall to see if it bounced off or was an illusion. If it bounced off, he then went forward and began to examine it for any signs of a secret door. Dungeoneering Check: 8

Henleber sighed and retraced his steps (crawls?) until he reached the central chamber again.

If nothing happens, he tries to put throwing hammer at each arm of the statue with care and using his shield as a precaution against a trap attack. If nothing still happens, he picks his items and enters the tunnel to join the others.

Though you try several things, not one of the seems to trigger any sort of reaction. The Gargoyle just sits there, unmoving, with it's palms open and outstretched as if it is mocking you for your inability to figure out what it seems to want. Perhaps it doesn't want anything, perhaps it is really just a statue meant to draw the curious in and delay them for innumerable numbers of hours. Or perhaps what it wants is simply not in your possession. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't look like you are getting very far with this.

So you decide to crawl through the tunnel to rejoin the others. The tunnel winds to the right, then winds to the left, before it starts to become very narrow. So narrow in fact, that, if you were a bit larger, you'd have trouble fitting through. You drop out the other side, only to fall about 6 feet to the floor below. Here you stand in a massive hallway, not unlike the one near the entrance of the tomb. The floor is inlaid with the same kind of tiles (although, the red pathway is suspiciously absent), and the walls and ceiling are painted with figures of animals, strange signs and glyphs, humans and human-like creatures. The creatures depicted all seem to be holding onto two dimensional spheres of different colours, all of which vary to being between one and two feet in diameter, and each one suspended at varying heights off the ground (see graphic). Looking back over your shoulder, where you expect to see the tunnel you emerged from, you instead see a human figure holding high above his head a gold sphere in the place of the tunnel. Upon closer inspection, you discover the gold sphere is actually an illusory wall covering the opening of the tunnel you emerged from. Further down the tunnel you can see Jiardem chatting with a fellow Eladrin who is new to you, and further still at the end of the tunnel is Graydon, who is examining a misty archway that appears almost identical to the one from the first great hall that teleported you into the room with the Gargoyle.

As the previous hall:
