"How will we tell?"

"If I try to kill you, I'm probably not acting normal."

"OK, that's a good baseline. Give it a whirl. "

"Heh - what could possibly go wrong? Give it a shot." Right after saying this, Gabriel again fades from view, moves back a reasonable distance from the witch, and raises his shield.

Using telekinetic invisibility, then spamming force sphere

As Mahb places on the amulet, the abjuration aura spreads over her body... and nothing much happens. She does feel pleasantly warm, though.

"Oh, it's feels like a hot water bottle. I like it... and I have no desire to kill either of you. Looks like it ain't cursed."

"Ok, let's move on. " and he heads for the stairway with the weird fog.

Walking again down the stairway, Vars finds himself once again in the burial chamber of Drusus Adella. Nothing has changed.

Ok, did you mean check out the stairwell itself? Any other locations to check? Do we need to magic types to take a look?

Well, it's meant to be a bit of a puzzle, but if you are lost...

Vars will push on the depressed one.

It's already as down as it can go.

"Ok, there's something odd here, but I don't understand what. "
he'll try pushing in a different face.

Gabriel tilts his head, watching warily as Duke presses things.

Not much to add, still here, but not great at puzzles.

The pushed tile, bearing the image of a mocking medusa, clicks down as the previously lowered one raises back up. With hushed whispers, the mist in the stairway swirls furiously before coalescing back again into a curtain.

"Ok, something changed, might as well check it out. " and he heads down into the mist.

Taking 10 on Spellcraft

Gabriel frowns a little at the mist."Appears to be some kind of portal, I think. Going someplace different now. Only one way to find out where too, though." He moves to follow Vars through the portal.

The corridor at the end of the stairs splits into forks heading east and west. Broken marble fragments lie strewn across the east and west alcoves. The fragments suggest rather beautiful sarcophagi once stood in these areas, apparently obliterated by a powerful and malignant force. A magnificent marble sarcophagus, carved with all manner of sea creatures—dolphins, squid, sharks, shellfish, and merfolk—remains in the northern alcove.

Chiseled in delicate script on the lid of the one remaining sarcophagus are three names and sets of dates: “Malachi Voxus Adella, 4372–4422”, “Trepso Voxus Adella, 4374–4438”, and “Lexana Voxus Adella, 4378–4449” along with the phrase, “We Shall Not Be Mocked.”
Opposite the northern alcove stands the Voxus mocking medusa in bas-relief on a massive stone block that fills the entire wall, apparently a door. Two spherical indentations are where the eyes should be.

Do we have anything which would seem to fit in the indentations.

The amulet you grabbed from the sarcophagus seems to fit, but it's only one.

"Ok, looks like we still need something to pass this. Gotta look around some more. "

I'm a bit fuzzy on what we have left to investigate.

"I think there was one more amulet, the one old Mab said was cursed or some such thing. Dinnt we? In the other sarcophagus?"

There was a room with a sarcophage like the one you've opened, but its contents are a mystery, except for the divination spell Mahb cast.
As for places to explore, there is still one pushable tile in front of the mist passage. Additionally, you can try to open the door the old-fashioned way.
