"There's got to be a way to turn it off or bypass it." Gramaton does his best to find any traps in the area.

Gramaton moves forward with Chill.
A few thing came up this weekend which was set to be quite busy as it was (including my car breaking down) so free time for PBP hasn't been in abundance. I will be posting tomorrow in all my games. Sorry for the delay.
"I might be able to bypass the trigger so we can move forward but it's going to be tricky." Gramaton moves forward slowly.
Gramaton moves to safety as the statues awaken.
Gramaton having learned of the traps presence the hard way does his best to disable the traps.
Gramaton carefully checks the area for tell tale signs of traps. "Perhaps some kind of temporal anomaly or stasis trap?"
"Could be some forgotten Patheon with only a few of the deities known to modern theologians?"
"Profitable enough. People are always surprised if you can wriggle out of a grip like that. I'm all in favour for presding on."
Gramaton doesn't stay in the icy water for long. Diving onto the floating giants body he begins to loop some rope around a piece of sturdy clothing on the giant's body like a belt. "I'll toss this to ye in a moment, try to haul him in. He might just have something of value or use on him."
Gramaton seems to almost effortlessly slide out of the giant's grasp... ...and starts stabbing with both his blades at the giant before it can unleash it's furry in another way.
Gramaton runs up the side of one of the nearby buildings before hopping off to land behind the giant. As he does his voidglass dagger darts out towards the back of the giants thigh... if he is lucky slashing into the giant's femoral artery.
"With giants and demons all over this place I wonder if it's a giant with abyssal blood?" Gramaton muses half to himself.
Gramaton moves forward to scout out the area ahead.
"It could be some kind of puzzle as well to test us..."
"No one's got a holy spear or bow by any chance? I'd rather not get frazzled."
"I can take them out one by one with my blade." He holds up one of the voidglass daggers. If he can get to a statue without being in danger he's cheerily start smiting it.
Gramaton tries to study for a pattern and also determine if the arcing energy would be a threat to him if he was climbing along the roof.
It's takes Gramaton about seven minutes to get through the door.
Spoiler:
"It seems to be clear of traps, so that's something."
"There's an inscription here written in an ancient dialect of Skald Across the doors. It translates to Taldane as something like 'Only by the Power of Faith shall ye pass Beyond'...very strange. Perhaps a sacrifice of life shall we say, these fallen giants might count. Testing the theory will no doubt be risky." Gramaton examines the door carefully for traps or hidden means of opening it but doesn't expect much luck.
Gramaton tries to get inside the wolves guard while it is distracted.
Gramaton strikes from the shadows repeatedly hitting pressure points in the giants hide trying to take advantage as best he can while they were adjusting.
No worries, stay safe!
Gramaton tries to sneak into a flanking position with all the confusion of the opening moments.
Once Gramaton spots the foes and gets a head count he doubles back to alert the others. "Alright, we've got two frost giants, a winter wolf and one strange looking giant. So if you want to cast any spells or drink potions now is a good time. I'll see about getting a few nice little hits in one them when everyone is ready."
Gramaton shows he's quite versed in picking through items based on weight and value in case he is interrupted. "It should take too long for the gems and gold... thats a lot of copper however." Once they had taken the money and gems he scouts ahead again.
Getting the feeling things would likely go poorly by the conversations end Gramaton decided to leave Celestia be a wonderful focus for attention and continue sticking to cover moving as close as he can to the man.
If they area they head through offers no threat or treasure Gramaton heads to investigate the door for traps.
Gramaton holds up his dagger which seems to have some kind of perfectly clear crystal blade. "A deadly weapon and a useful tool!" He quickly becomes hard to follow as he moves to head.
"Very well, I'll range ahead about say fifty foot ahead of the rest of ye. If I spot enemies I'll come back to report, if there are traps I'll set about disarming them." As Gramaton moves ahead he stays alert for traps, secret doors and ambushes.
"My name is Gramaton and I am an experienced dungeoneer, skilled out scouting picking locks and disabling devices. As you might have noticed I focus on precision in combat, a quick nick of the artery can take out many a hardy foe given a bit of time. I am used to moving alone while scouting but after much experience you'd be surprised how quietly I can move at speed." Gramaton stands quite confident. Worst case they say no and if I follow a while after them, if they die it's more loot and less threats for me to deal with!
Looks at the giants "If I did I'm doing a very bad job about it. I heard there was a valuable relics here. I've managed to deal with a few threats and stealth past most but that's getting tougher." "We could team up so long as I get an even cut. Or I can stay out of your business which might mean bigger cuts for ye but the giants might have other ideas. Its a bit of a gamble either way."
"I hope you don't mind me pitching in I've been waiting for an appropriate moment to start dealing with them and ye seemed like it. It's tough going it alone here with all of these giants!" With a wave of his hand Gramaton clears the blood from his blade without touching it.
Seeing a group of strangers attack the giants Gramaton will move forward coming up on the balcony using his slippers of spiderclimb digging his dagger into one of their legs.
Ok recycling an old alias, my Rogue is about ready.
"The reaction to the Inspired was most curious, the group of half elves seemed to get agitated with him and resort to violence over a very short period of time."
"I miss spoke. Lethal force. A group of half elves seemed to initiate the fight but he used lethal force."
"I assisted in incapacitating him using non lethal means, that is the means at which I de escalated the situation. Once he was incapacitated the brawl began to simmer down. I have previously been informed that the Inspired were dangerous and his quickly resorting to legal force reinforced this impression in my mind."
Gramaton opens the door "I would like to make a statement. This unconscious man is an Inspired and escalated a burgeoning brawl using lethal force." He stands aside to the let the city watch into the building.
"The will likely want to take our statements and apprehend the inspired. You may find it time consuming but I can corroborate you were only a witness."
"This is the Inspired, when a brawl broke out he quickly resorted to lethal force. We should bring him to the current law enforcement."
Gramaton passes the case to Citlackhad.
Gramaton looks at the scroll cast curiously after being handed it by Dolos.
Gramaton will halt and not hinder Dolos' investigations but keeps and eye to make sure potential evidence doesn't disappear.
Gramaton moves to pick up the inspired. "He should be brought to an authority of this settlement."
Sorry to hear that, take care.
Gramaton moves to flank the Inspired and tries once more to subdue it as he draws his morningstar.
Gramaton moves to try to knock out the inspired and put an end to it's violent lashing out.
