Trying hard to keep calm Caitlyn asked, "Smashing them without metal sounds painful Jackun. I don't want to use my fists, because I'd just break every bone in them. Is there some clever way of destroying them?"
Jakun keeps smashing at the statues with his staff, "I've got no better way than this unfortunately my friend".
If looks could curdle milk, the one Caitlyn gave Jackun would have qualified, this was going to hurt! With out a word, she turned towards the nearest statue and pivoted on one foot before lashing out with a surprisingly graceful yet powerful side kick. As her foot smashed into the stone, she cried "Yaaa!"
It took what seemed like ages, but Caitlyn and Jakun slowly hammered away at one of the robed statues. After more than three hours flaking off pieces and making fine cracks spiderweb across the stone, it finally broke in three parts that further shattered on striking the ground.
As the stone fell, a sickly violet light seeped from within and faded to nothing. When the last glimmers vanished, all the Companions' things of metal were metal once more.
It had taken hours. Every part of her was sore and she was drenched with sweat. The sight of the shattered statue would have been gratifying if she hadn't so damn tired. "Perhaps we should rest?" she suggested when she caught her breath.

Her spells tend towards more support and she hasnt cast too many of the lower level spells.
Jakun pants after the effort, "That was simply far too much to look elsewhere but these doors..."
Jakun silently curses Thistle on his disappearance and approaches the door his eyes on the lookout for Magic.

The doors appeared nonmagical to Jakun's divination.
He approaches the door and tests the handle to see if it is locked.

It was not.
Jakun takes a deep breath and opens the door...
Weapon in hand Caitlyn stepped through the door in front of Jackun, ready to fight whatever might be on the other side.

The doors opened to show a second room identical to the one the Companions now stood in: two dark statues in alcoves, with a heavy door beyond them.
Another shrine to Nuitari she comments.

Jakun mutters in frustration, "I will cast a spell, if it is transmutation magic once more, I would caution bringing metal near these statues".

Jakun detects abjuration from the two statues.
Cailtlyn rolled her eyes and cried, "Oh for the love of all that's holy I've got to do it again!"

"This is an aura of protective magics, still, protective for a dark wizard may not be to our liking.
I shall approach and we shall see what we shall see".
Jakun heads to the statues to inspect them a bit more closely.

Nothing untoward happened to Jakun as he approached the statues. Each was a figure much like the last two, black-robed and with a face lost beneath its hood. They differed only in that the first pair suggested, in some way Jakun could't quite pin down, might and wealth. These two had instead an aura of youth and passion.
She enters the area.

Mariel felt an odd tingling on her skin as she passed between the statues, but nothing more.
I dont think that she did.
Jakun approaches the doors and tests them to see if they are locked, if not he will open them and peer into the next room.

Jakun found the doors opened easily at his touch to show yet another pair of alcoves. The statues to either side this time suggested more ominous portents: chaos and death. His divination showed enchantment reaching between them.
Cracking her Knuckles, Caitlyn asks Jackun, "Do you need me to smash this one too? If so it'll be quicker if I can use the hammer."
Jakun sighed, "Necromancy this time along with some sort of enchantment has been placed upon these statues. It is no wonder this place has no history of being visited, to visit this place is death.
Revered Daughter, have you a spell to ward me against ill effects?"
Jakun approaches the statues and once more, seeks to smash them to render them harmless to his allies.
Jackun hadn't answered her question, so Caitlyn eyed him and the statues suspiciously as he approached. The leather in her gloves creaked as she gripped the pommel of Wyrmslayer. She wondered if it would soon be hammer time...

Warded against evil, Jakun stepped forward. Nothing happened to him as he passed between the statues. Smashing them proved as tedious and noisy as last time, but at some length they were ruined.
Jakun sighed, "Well, another set of potential crisis averted".
Jakun will head to the next set of doors!
The Revered Daughter continues to invoke the blessing of Paladine.

The doors bore no magic that Jakun could see.
