The stone pedestal refuses to move.
She wipes her brow, "Damn this thing is stubborn...shall we try again?"
Lea nods. "We're not giving up."
Looking at Sadhana and taking in the size of the chamber she tries to figure out if the room is large enough to turn into a huge beast that might have the strength to help them move it.
Tesia believes the room can accommodate a huge creature.
After thinking for a few seconds she has everyone move back and changes into a huge black bear. She puts herself up against the the stone slab and prepares to start pushing with her massive shoulder.
Lea shoves against the pedestal once more.

Bracing her feet, Sādhanā pushes again drawing upon inner reserves of strength.
"I was taught that the Summoner that I would one day serve and protect, would be trained from childhood to use their power, be able to manifest their eidolon to great effect to benefit our world, and that this was a part of an ancient tradition that affects the balance of worlds."
"Beyond that, only glimpses of things, images that said you'd been tested, through difficulty and come through stronger, but not enough to understand details."
The pedestal moves back to reveal a chamber below.
With a grunt she moves away from the others and changes back into herself, "Well...that was a stubborn piece of rock. Let's see what it was hiding..but be careful, we have no idea what's down there." She says as she prepares to go down the steps into the chamber.
Rhadaya whispers in the breathy language of auran, a quartet to glimmering balls of light, like will o the wisps manifesting to bob in the air, descending ahead of them down the staircase as she hovers a few inches off the ground beside Tesia
As the merchant and the little family eat, Celia sits with her back against the stone walls looking over at Fae. "So how are you doing? You and your sister were spending time with your parents right?"
"Yes. We don't have a place of our own yet so I've been staying with them. I'm just glad there weren't any devils or otherwise still lingering around here." Fae answers.
"True, hopefully anyone the others find will be someone we can help. What we've seen so far....it's tragic." Celia replies.

The chamber below looks like it had not been used in at least a decade. The walls pulsate with an eerie yellow light as you enter the chamber. A large shard occupies the room pointing to where the pedestal would be if it were in place. A strange cylindrical object stands to left of the shard.
Tesia looks at the shard and then the strange object next to it before looking at Sadhana, "Ummmm....I think we better try to figure out what that thing is before we go destroying stuff okay? I don't like it....it's weird." She says as an involuntary shudder passes through her.
Sādhanā stands before the shard and the odd cylinder, studying it in depth.
Shaking her head in puzzlement she says, "That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in this world before."
Sādhanā does not believe this object is from anywhere in Vesaria.
Sienna studies the cylinder for a moment.
Sienna is sure that the cylinder is a vessel from the stars.
"It's a ship of some sort," Sienna explains.
"A ship?!" She exclaimed she's taken back by the news.
"Yeah, I don't know much more than that," Sienna says. "Why don't you look it over to see if it's intact...well, as much as you can tell."
Being very careful not to touch it, Tesia thoroughly examines the strange vessel as much as she can with knowing so little about it.
"You're welcome my Sweet," He responded while digging into the food.
As far as Tesia can tell, the vessel is undamaged.
