Lazarus feels around the panel and finds that there is a lever that could be pulled, presumably to open the panel. Lorendiac and Iulius will find the crouching polar bear statue to not only be life-sized, but they find it is also to be rather convincingly realistic. Although there are no obvious signs as to its historical origin.

Lazarus' hand darts back from the panel at the other delvers' reaction.
'I'm only looking,' he mutters sulkily, 'I didn't mean no harm.' He eyes the lever suspiciously, 'maybe there's something hidden behind here, maybe treasure?'

"Hmmmm, we should surround the bear before friend Lazarus pulls the lever". "While I feel this will get messy, we will not find any treasure unless we poke around in forbidden places".

"Maybe we should use our pick axes to break the bear's toes off,eh, Telfur?" Funklebun weighs his pick axe with a glint of glee in his eyes.

Telfur muses on what the group's options are and then states, "I'm inclined to agree with Dumfis and let Lazarus pull the handle but perhaps before we do that, we might examine the rest of the room in more detail? What about looking around the base of this stone block? Or looking around for hidden doors that might lead out of here?"

Funklebun yawns ruefully and sets about examining the base, tapping it lightly with his pick axe.

Iuluis agrees with Dumfis and says "Dumfis speaks true. We will not find what we all seek unless we poke around. I am prepared to defend the group from any threats". Iulius feels like he's best served as muscle, watching the rest of the party's backs while they search for treasure / unusual items, as his intelligence is well below average. He wouldnt know a lever from a ham sandwich.

Upon examining and tapping the base of the block, it is clear that it is ornately carved stone; the carvings are detailed but otherwise picture-less, made up of random shapes and patterns. But they are very prestigious none-the-less, indicating high-status and wealth. Velvet hangings of purple color cover the walls, also of very high quality. But behind the hangings are but more smooth stone, making up the circular perimeter of the room. The polar bear remains prominent in the center of the room.

"It seems our bear friend is the only thing of interest in the room". "We may as well get into position and have some lucky fellow pull the lever so we can move onto the next room".

I have been in my share of underground haunts. Let us be on our guard for tricks and traps of the utmost deadliness" says Lorendiac through gritted teeth.
"Pull the lever."

'Well if you're sure...' Lazararus reaches out and pulls the lever.

Telfur pulls his face mask into position, and readies himself for combat with torch in his left hand and pickaxe poised in his right. Looking over at Lazarus he says, "Do it now!"

Funklebun holds his breath and tenses his muscles...

Lazurus, presumably in a very quiet and careful manner, pulls the level; and as he does so, the polar bear statue seems to loom from above, with a sense of presence...
L2 save on DEX [4,2]+22 = 28 [Pass] [Lazarus gets 12 AP; please add to your character sheet.]
The panel slides open quietly, revealing a small room within the block. Lazarus can just make out what looks to be a mummified body lying on its back within...
[OOC: Anyone going to take a closer look?]

"Not quite what I was expecting". "Well Lazurus, you're closest ...."
