Visayn easily breaks free from the Iron Maiden.
Valliard rushes into the room to channel to heal the living.

The wrought iron cage continues to get walloped by Imrik. Several more of the bars break free.
The swarm continues to harrow Imrik and Calin. The daggers leave shallow cuts, the brands burn, and the pliers pull on any exposed flesh.

The hands continue to scurry around scratching any exposed skin possible.
Round 2
He shoots at the two chains wailing on him. Some of the links of chain take damage.
Round 2
Once again caught in a reverie, Rai suddenly snaps to attention as he companions are attacked. He moves into the room and channels energy to damage the undead, hoping that it will damage some of the enemies at least. Hard to tell what is attacking exactly, whether spirits moving objects, objects themselves, or some corporeal undead.
After Rai's channel the swarm of objects fall to the ground and the cages within his range stop opening and slamming their doors. The hanging chains are still whipping like snakes... The scurrying hands seem to falter but are still kicking.
Frightened Visayn rushes out of Iron maiden holding mace he found earlier "This cursed trap almost got me! It must be destroyed." he screams while smashing the torture device.
Lectrum chooses the adamantine weapon for fighting chains and swings until they stop swinging. :-)
Round 1
Round 2
Lectrum misses the first time and connects solidly the 2nd time finishing off the swinging chains next to Drake.

Imrik swings hard to attack one of the chains swinging at him!
Round 1
Calin clutches at his stomach in extreme discomfort and slowly try to move away from the hands and swarms, ending next to Ragnar.
Round 2
Calin continues to be sickened at the sight and sounds of the chaos around him.
Round 3
Round 3
"Hands off!" Rai growls at the hands scratching people, and channels again.
Seeing that the surge of positive energy seemed to have some effect, and not having a mace or some other blunt object to smash the chains, Valiard pulls on the warmth inside of himself one more time.
Round 2 and 3
Calin and Imrik take down the hanging chains.
Valiard and Rai decimate the hands, putting them down.

Looking around you don't see anything else moving. Several of the torture machines have been untouched.
Calin looks around the room and doesn't see additional combatants, but some of the torture devices didn't spring to life ... yet? He attempts to ascertain if they have been haunted like the others.
Calin calls out to the group. "Some of these implements may still yet be haunted. Moving towards them seems to wake them. Let's see if we can learn anything about them before moving towards them."
Detect Evil 60ft cone
Visayn gives the iron maiden another blow. "I already learned everything I want to know of this place."
Round 4
Imirk moves closer and swings a mighty blow at the iron maiden. He calls out, "Many dark things happened here. That is for sure."
All of the objects radiate evil, even the broken ones.
Imrik and Visayn finish off the iron maiden.
Imrik calls upon Omrataji and begins radiating healing energy. Once the healing aura subsides, Imrik points back at the secret door and says, "Should we check the secret door next?"
Ragnar smashes any already torture implements, even they are already smashed
I can respect some of the f@~#ing demons, but never a torturer.
"Thanks Imrik!" Rai says, and nods in agreement with the suggestion.
"Yep, the secret door's next when you have healed." Visayn says looking at the destruction
Imrik's healing aura binds most of Calin's wounds. "I am ready when everyone else is."
While the rest of the group makes their preparations, Calin inspects the secret door for traps and other nefarious purposes.
Imrik moves to be near the door and waits for others to search it for traps and open it. Seeing Calin go up to the door Imrik says, "Calin, it might be good for someone else to search first."
He collects his arrows with more effort than normal for those stuck in the wall. He then takes up his bow ready for if the situation turns dire again.
Valiard and Visayn check the door as well and agree there are no traps.
Ragnar moves to the door and open is.
Le trum readies a swing of the horsechopper at anything that attacks us.
Rai keeps alert for any dangers as the door is opened.
Valiard slides to the side of the door to allow Rai and Lectrum past, dagger readied in his hand for any eventuality.
Calin readies himself to defend himself and the group against whatever might lie in wait.
The warden’s skeleton still wears tatters of his chainmail uniform. While the chainmail is ruined. The warden’s keys, symbols of his control over the prisoners were used as torture implements on the man. The keys sit inside of the skeleton’s pelvis. The warden’s badge also gave the prisoners an impromptu torture device—the metal disk has been wedged into his jaw, and is obviously the object that was used to shatter that part of his face.
The rough stone walls of this natural cavern drip with moisture, leaving stagnant pools of water on the uneven floor.
"There seems to be two weird blobs hanging from the ceiling. Should that be worrying?" Visayn wonders
Calin retrieves the warden's keys and badge. They may be of use to the group. He inspects the warden's possessions before stowing them in his pack. "The warden's wife may find comfort if these items are returned to her."
As the group continues their way through the prison, Calin stops short at Visayn's alert.
"In this place, everything is a concern. Does anyone see a way to avoid them? Or perhaps knows more about them?"
"I see four blobs. Striking at them with magic seems like the best option." Imrik says as he looks warily at the globs hanging from the ceiling.
"Blobs? Globs? What are we talking about? Does it look like the acid from my gloves?"
"It's some kind of ooze or jelly. It looks like it can drop on the unwary." Imrik says.
"Can anyone tell if there is anything beyond these blobs? If this is just a dead end, then we may not need to be concerned with this room. However, we might find something useful."
Calin ponders for a moment before speaking again. "Anyone have a strong opinion on how to proceed?"
"Could someone strike them? Cause them to drop? I imagine we cannot get the keys without the blobs dropping on us."
Drake's arrows or our breath weapons?
The keys were on the Warden's tortured body which was in the center of the torture chamber.
---
You see that the cave appears to twist at about 25 feet.
He steps forward after Lectrum says his name. Looking in he nods and states, "I can easily take a few shots."
The first round he takes aim at the closest one.
The arrow hits and the blob drops into the water. It is now hard to perceive.
By Gorrums brass balls what are those to be? Whatever, one less now. If feasible, I can fly people over, best not bathe in that.
Encouraged by Drake's example, Visayn fires another arrow at second closest. "Practice is always good idea."
"Who else has a ranged attack? Let's take them out from here."
Imrik shrugs and lets the archers do their thing. He says, "I just hope no one steps on them when we make our way past this area."
"Let me try something." Imrik says as he flies up and sends a blast of cold breath down the hallway.
Lectrum watches Imrik with amazement. "Cold? Not fire?"
