You shine your light into the water which is remarkably clear. It is tough to tell the depth here, but you can see the bottom. There is no statue, though you do see some small minnow sized colorless fish swimming around.

"So where is it?" asks Eddie. "I hope it's not buried under all that...stuff down the other tunnel."

OOC,Are there any exits we missed? Do these three tunnels all reach dead ends, or did we not fully explore the east tunnel?

Richard ask "Do you think that they could have had the statue in a different location?"

"It's got to be down here somewhere," says Eddie. "That creature is the best guard they could have had. My guess is it's down the east tunnel. That voice had to be trying to divert us to keep us from finding it. I say we go back and ignore the voice. If it tries to lead us one way, we go the opposite." He starts back that way, gripping his shotgun.

As you pass by the main chamber again you hear Aunt Loosa yell down, "Did you find it?"

You continue back down the East passage, and enter the room, it looks different than it did just the 20 minutes earlier. The light in the room has changed and the angles on the walls seemed to have changed with it. Shadows are dancing around, and the huge statue in the middle of the room seems a bit smaller than before, now only 15' tall. It is still shimmering and flickering in the light.

One again off to the left you hear a faint whisper. It sounds very similar to what you heard before.

ooc,please make a listen check

"Not yet!" Eddie calls up to Aunt Loosa before venturing down the tunnel to the east once again. This time he cannot determine the source of the voice.

OOC,Listen roll (55% skill) down the east tunnel: [dice]0[/dice]

Richard follows pistol in the ready

Listen Check,[dice]0[/dice]

Richard starts checking out the walls that seem to be different.

Eddie takes a closer look at the still oversized but somehow shrinking statue, feeling it to make sure it's really there. "Maybe it's a reflection of the real statue," he says.

The walls are real, but the design of the cuts is nothing that make any sense at all.

As Eddie draws closer to the statue, it does shrink with every step until you get up to it when it is the 2' statue you are looking for.

"Got it!" says Eddie, picking up the statue. "Let's get out of here."

Eddie grunts and sets the statue down again. "I can't move it all the way to the pit by myself," he says, "I'm strong, but not that strong. I think we can get it there if we work together, though."

OOC,I know why the dice roller didn't work. 0 was in the dice tags, not 1d100. It must have been quoted from an earlier roll.

Richard walks up to Eddie and holster his pistol and tries to lift the statue with Eddie

Together you are able to lift the statue, and carry it out to the center tunnel.

ooc,we can wrap it up here, or role-play it out, its up to you guys.

"We've got it!" Eddie calls up the shaft. "Let's hook it up to the mechanism and haul it out of the pit!"

You wrap the chains around the statue and Alyssa and Aunt Loosa crank the statue to the top. They manage to swing it over to one side and unwrap it.

They lower the chain back down and haul you 2 out of the pit.

"We need to get this thing to the surface and back to the car," says Eddie. "If we use the seashore exit, that will mean we don't have to haul it up any stairs or anything."
