Gimar moved over to the "statue" of Little John, while Rheaphlyndar, Nicola and Wed examined the other statues

Nicola This Beholder seems to be staring at a scroll tube.
Rheaphlyndar The Blue Dragon is admiring a copper bound box, filled with gems. And they're quite real!
Wed This Fire Giant seems to have some sort of removable spear.

With a flash of the axe, Gimar restored Little John to his former mobility.

Nicola The Manticore seems to be poised over a crossbow.
Gimar Dibs!
Rheaphlyndar The Medusa seems to have a pretty cool cloak -- there is this clasp right here . . .
Jaron Hmm, either I am wearing colored lenses or the light seems bluer than before.
Wed Hey, this Ogre Magi is wearing a cool silver necklace. I'll bet it's magic.
Nicola The Rakshasa is wearing a golden ring.
Gimar Hmmm, the Wight seems to be crouched before a silver urn (reaching forward and polishing) that is really platinum.
Jaron (raising his sword) Guys, those lights definitely moved this time.

And move they had. In fact, the blue tint now turned to a slight flashing, perhaps some strange communication. They swooped down towards the unsuspecting rogue, who was just removing the Medusa's velvety black cloak.

Jaron Get up the stairs -- they seem to be avoiding me.
Nicola I've just thrown a "protection from evil" on the door.

Little John grabbed Wed and headed up the stairs, hot on the clerics heals and being followed quickly by the rogue. Jaron and Gimar attempted to hold the flashing wisps at the door. The Bluish will o'wisp faded from view . . .

Quickly Gimar bolted up the stairs, and Jaron barred closed the door behind them. The only take from the room, other than five days of rest, was the deep black velvety cloak that Rheaphlyndar managed to snag. Of course, they also counted the treasure of the lamia.

The Biscuits ran most of the way to camp, and finally collapsed in a heap. Jaron offered to take first watch and stood by the door most of the time, hoping that an invisible wisp wouldn't sneak in that way.
