Naillus will turn away from the wizard, rolling his eyes. Motioning with his fingers to his comrades, suggests we move on?

Franklin says cheerfully, "It would be fun to come back and kick the balrog's butt, someday in the future when we have stronger magic. For now I agree with Naillus, we should finish exploring the level."

You open the door onto a room that is 20 feet wide (extra 10' to the east) and 40' long, with a door opposite you on the north wall. Two stone pedestals on the east wall hold 3' high stone gargoyles

"Any bets that those are real?" Naillus will ask innocently. "Thoughts?"

"Definitely real," whispers Franklin. "I wonder what is the trigger?"

He draws his magic sword in preparation.

"I say we enter - cautiously - and find out," Aldbane says. If no one objects, he and Bannon will enter the room, weapons ready, heading towards the pedestals.

Franklin advances cautiously in fighting formation with Aldbane and Bannon (warning Balbo and Drogo to stay back).

Naillus will advance as well since there are two gargoyles, ready with spell or axe/shield.

Your advance into the room mobilizes the gargoyles. They fly off their perches towards you

Aldbane and Bannon meet them with magic mace and magic spear.
