I'm referring to the passage opposite the statue, by the way, not the shaft up!

Also, I think for Discern Realities your questions must be those listed in the move verbatim.

@Emberskyes - Yes, when you use Discern Realities, you do have to ask the questions exactly as they are on the page. And this is good for you! For instance, if you ask me, 'Is it safe to remove the blade?' aka 'Is the blade trapped?' I could easily say no.* But the STATUE could be trapped.* On the other hand, if you ask 'What here is not what it appears to be?' then I tell you everything that's hidden. Yeah, the blade looks safe, but there's really a trigger on the hand that will cause the roof to fall in.* There's also a little crevice over there on the side of the cavern that doesn't quite fit. You should check it out.* Go ahead and reask using those questions.

* Those are NOT the real answers, because this is just an example.
[ +- ] Discern Realities
Also, in every room after this one, since I suspect we're preceeding carefully for the moment, I would like everyone to pick ONE Discern Realities question. I'll consider that question asked in every room and include it in the description.

The problem with verbatim is the questions are very focused and might not be what we want to know.

If I take the sword, what is about to happen?

As a warrior and a smith, what here is useful or valuable to me? Besides Tatianna. 😃

What here is not what it appears to be? - My question going forward.

Johnsan will be occupied looking around, so I will ask "what here should I be on the lookout for?"

Getting a bit into the weeds here, but I actually love the specific questions because they all work to drive rhe game forward. They're more like questions for the GM to answer than what your character wants to know.

This blog helped break it down for me: LINK.
Brother Irwin chooses to put some distance between himself and the statue and starts down the passage leading away from its chamber.

The questions are fine, I'd just like a bit of wiggle room on the specifics so I can tailor it to the situation.
