to see if Wren can recognize anything about the statue.
As they walk back down the tunnel, Sophy shyly presses her dagger into Victor's hand. "Here," she says. "You can put this to better use than I can, just in case you get in a situation where you don't have room to shoot your bow."
Eponine will glance back at the others. If no one indicates they want to go back to the surface, she'll try the door straight ahead, listening at it first.
Perception
Wren and Sophy eye the statue up and down, but do not find anything familiar about the women it depicts.

Perception 1d20+7
You don't hear anything from beyond the door.
Sophy gives a longing glance back toward the Glassworks, but their instructions had been clear: to find Ameiko and see how dangerous the creatures in the tunnels were. The answer to the second question was, Too dangerous for her! But if they went back up without Ameiko, someone would have to come back down. She sighs and nods to Eponine to move forward, making sure her crossbow is both glowing and loaded.
As they walk back down the tunnel, Sophy shyly presses her dagger into Victor's hand. "Here," she says. "You can put this to better use than I can, just in case you get in a situation where you don't have room to shoot your bow."
Victor looks at the dagger a moment then turns his gaze upon her, "Thank you, Miss Sophy." He nods in appreciation. Then noticing Eponine apparently listening for something on the other side of the door, "Miss Eponine. Let me see if I can possibly be of any help in your endeavor." He tells her as he himself listens in.
"I say, we skewer that little bugger." Brock grips the ranseur tight, as he speaks. "From the little I know of magics, those who use it tend to regain their abilities after resting. If we come back another day, he may gain all his magics and fear us again, destroy our weapons with a wave of his hand, etc.. I say we get him today, before he can rest. I know no fear, but I understand if the rest of you do." Brock looks at the odd party around him. "But if not that little bastard, then let's get to finding Ameiko. We're wasting time!" The frustration is obvious in Brock's voice, as he looks at the fresh wounds on his body and curses silently to himself.
"That is a good point. Alright, if you feel like you can destroy that creature with that, then let us return. But with the length of that weapon, you better hope she does not get near you. It is not made for hand to hand combat, as you can tell." He stops and thinks a moment on what they could possibly do different. "Alright, Brock. What do you say to me going in, you right behind me, I will distract the creature to come and attack me, and while she does that, you use the ranseur to hopefully kill it. What say you?"
"Oh... stop it, men!" Sophy tells them. "We're finding Ameiko. After that, if you want to go off and get yourselves killed, it's your business, but we have orders to get her back to the surface safely. Open the door, Eponine, before they run off and do something stupid."
Victor listening to Sophy's verbal attack, turns and looks to Brock. "Brock? What say you?" He asks again, obviously ignoring Sophy's tirade.
"No, my friend, Victor. I do not want to use you as bait. However, I don't have too much confidence in your archery skills for obvious reasons. I have not forgotten. No, the reason we had to flee before is because we got separated, obviously due to the creature's fear spell. If we attack it again, we need to do so as a unit. Remember, it dropped blood into the triangular pool and summoned spawn to its aid. In fact, I was thinking of screwing with that to get him to attack us, in case he is hiding somewhere. But to do it, we have to go in as a team. I may be stubborn but not stupid. If the girls are not ready now, then let's keep looking for Ameiko, though I appreciate your solidarity as a warrior."
I can do either.
I was hoping if the creature turned invisible, I could splash the spot it disappeared from with ink, giving Brock another chance to hit it.
"Sorry boys,but I agree with Sophy. We are having trouble even scratching that demon's hide. We should find Ameiko, head back to the surface, and stock up on things that might bother her, such as acid flasks. We could also try to find a scroll or two of a spell that makes our weapons magical to try and effect her."
It is a tense moment before the ancient statue as the group tries to deiced the best course of action. Sophy and Wren want to find Ameiko and return later to fight the demon queen, while Victor and Brock are ready to take the fight to her. It will be up to Eponine to make the decision....
"Miss Eponine. Let me see if I can possibly be of any help in your endeavor." He tells her as he himself listens in.
1d20 + 11 = 22
Our priority is to save Ms. Ameiko, and unless she is tiny and hateful, that wasn't her back there. If we don't find her in an hour or two, we could return here, deal with that little creature and search that room for clues. But for now, while we still have other options, I think we should keep looking.
"Fair enough. Let's look then."
Unless Victor tells Eponine not to, she'll open the door at J14 once Brock gives her the nod that he's ready to run through anything on the other side. If Victor gives them cause to bypass the door, she'll lead the group down the corridor at L18.
Victor thinking a moment, remembers that he heard something on the other side of the door. "I heard a strange growl followed by the sound of someone hitting...oh, let us say...a piece of meat? Maybe?" He shrugs. "That is the best way I can describe it."
Sophy looks worried. "...People are 'meat.'" She raises her crossbow and nods at Eponine once again to open the door.
Once last glance around at everyone to make sure they are ready, then Eponine opens the door, ready to press herself out of the way if Brock needs to move past her.
Borck readies an action to thrust his ranseur at anything that approaches within 10', as soon as the door opens.
This large chamber was obviously once a prison, as testified by the nearly two dozen cells that line the room’s perimeter. You are standing on a rickety wooden platform that overlooks the room, with two flights of stairs descending to the prison floor ten feet below. A five-foot-wide wooden walkway runs from the northern edge of the platform to a passageway to the east. Two more of the sin creatures are apparently arguing over a pile of bones when you enter, they don't seem to have been expecting you.

Eponine will move to F16.
As she is running past, can she see if anyone is in any of the cells below?

The cells appear to be empty.
Victor moves in to get a better shot.
Brock moves to I-13, wanting to avoid getting in front of Victor and his great archery skills.
The exit to the east is on the level of the catwalk only.
In the hanging moments before the fight begins, the Heroes of Sandpoint flood into the room ready to face off against the spawned creatures.
The creatures howl with delight as they rush to attack. The first one leaps up and grabs the rickety catwalk with its elongated arms, and drags itself up over the edge. It struggles to pull it's legs up behind and is unable to pull itself all the way up and is lying prone on the bridge. It lashes at Eponine's feet with one of it's wicked claws and she nimbly avoids the attack as she stabs the creature with her rapier.
The second creature lumbers up the stairs and savagely rakes the warrior with it's dirty claws.
Eponine is going to take advantage of the creature's vulnerable position.
Rapier strike
Damage
Brock sees the creature coming up the stairs and thrusts his newly acquired ranseur straight at it's ugly head. It screeches in pain as it slashes it's claws at Victor.
Eponine thrusts and easily skewers the creature in the back.
Brock yells, "Victor, move back, you're blocking my attack on it."
Brock yells, "Victor, move back, you're blocking my attack on it."
Victor, trusting in Brock to bring this creature down far more than himself, takes a step back so as to give Brock room and then fires his bow.
