Taric and Eilyra check out the tunnel to the left. It leads to a large cavern - also lit with continual flames - that must have once been a communal living quarters. There are six simple beds, three tables, stools, cabinets, and empty shelves.

The middle of the room is dominated by a man-sized iron statue. Though experienced adventurers are no strangers to statues that turn out to be golems or the like, this one shows no sign of motion. Its body resembles that of an armored man, but its head has four faces, one facing each direction (forward, left, right, behind).

The only things that detect as magical in the room are an unlit black iron torch (moderate transmutation) that has a cupped head that rests in a sconce on the wall, and three cone-shaped blocks of incense (faint evocation) that give off a spicy and unpleasant aroma..

Meanwhile, Avakuss peers down the right side tunnel, followed closely by Ash and Center. There is a lit cavern that way as well. He can see what looks like vertical metal bars, as of a prison cell.

From the right hand room a sort of shouting noise begins. "Eee! Eee!" If he doesn't proceed into the cavern, Avakuss can't see the source of the sound.
