You spend enough time to be absolutely sure you missed nothing. There is only a pedestal and an object on that pedestal
OOC:
Do you still want Tante Lude to toss the head onto the floor ?

Orsik will move into the room Shield and Hammer at the ready.

OOC:
I'm sorry, did I volunteer for this?
Tante Lude also moves outside the room to watch. She's tries to estimate the weight of the golden skull, so that someone could try Criella's weight swap trick. She wonders if the stone she shaped would be about right if she could break it off the wall she exuded it from or would it be too big. It could be broken off with a solid hammer swing she figured.

If not she tries to estimate something else that would work. Solid gold would make the skull pretty heavy.

Tante Lude estimates skull would weight around 15 pounds.

OOC:
Sorry, I didn't get it. If you want me to tell if an action is feasible, please describe the action in details? What do you want to break off the wall? The skull rests on top of a pedestal, just as if someone dropped it there years ago.

OOC:
Tante Lude is looking for a rock that will weigh roughly the same as the golden skull based on her estimation of their respective weights.

She thought of the rock she had stone shaped when trying to get our invisible friend out of the boar head. Stone shape reshapes existing rock so it had to exude from the wall like a tentacle and into the mouth of the boar head. This would give it a longer shape with a heavier head and a bit of a range of weight depending on where along the tentacle you broke it off.

That's what she's thinking at this point.

Orsik noticing everyone else is staying out of the room will quickly draw back out.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/82/0f/e6820f4a79f3ad993ef1e31aa0b559c9.jpg Cautious Criella says willingly to companion Tante, "If you can make me a block of stone, I will try the exchange trick."

"Might be better to see if my telekinesis is strong enough to push the skull off its spot. Gold is heavy though and I'm not sure I'm strong enough but that way we can all be out here together with the door pushed partially shut for cover.

If that doesn't work, then maybe we can try the exchange trick."

"Well. Okay. Try pushing and if that doesn't work then I will go in and see if can push and move the statue. Cause if we can move it then then we can't exchange trick it."

Once everyone is in place, just outside the room with the door pushed almost shut, Tante Lude looked in and with her mind, pushed the golden skull off its pedestal.

She held her breath.

After skull does not move Tante Lude remembers her Telekinetic is only able to move things up to 10 lb, but this skull as she just estimates skull would weight around 15 lb.

Active Criella doesn't want to scoot it hardly at all just wants mostly to understand if she will be budge it. She doesn't have the trade item to do the trick with yet.

OOC:
Please, don't think I'm dumb or something but I've been too often in situation of narrating PC action player did not want to that I'm afraid. @WanderOne may I assume your PC interact with the golden skull (which your PC is calling a statue for some reason) with an aim to understand if it is possible to move the skull (but don't move it just yet)?
May 27, 2025 2:16 pm
The words statue and skull were meant to be exchangeable earlier. Both refer to the same thing. Sorry for mistaken words. Yes, Criella is definitely interacting with the skull. Her hands are 100% touching it as she is trying to move it some to see if she can.

OOC:
OK, and well... I actually tried to hint you about this
The moment when Criella touches the skull it moves as if weight nothing. It actually moves contrary to Criella desire - it flies in the air levitating just above her head.

In a mocking, hollow voice skull supplies a stream of deadpan banter : Exchange trick? Oh you are such a smart dumb-ass. You wanted to move me? Be careful of what you want, you may as well get it! You were almost correct about trap, just almost. You didn't trigger trap, you trigger me. and it burst in laughter. Soon it start banter Criella about her sexy outlook and what not
OOC:
Let me spoil you already Skull's inopportune comments toward Criella will be causing Criella to make all ability checks with disadvantage (not attack rolls, just ability checks).
May 27, 2025 3:21 pm
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/82/0f/e6820f4a79f3ad993ef1e31aa0b559c9.jpg Oh god, this golden skull's dribble is getting well on not so curious anymore Criella's nerves. It is obvious that it's chatter is excessively bothering her. It is also obvious that Criella's earlier plans are very much toast. "Just shut up I say. Or I will find some way to end you. Just get away from me!" She is now wishing Tante touch it first instead of her. She immediately wonders if she can even stop this golden skull's talking. Bothered Criella is trying to swish her hands to bat away the skull like it was a pesky fly.

Tante Lude summons divine help, a flying Celestial to strike at this skull. Criella feels it's divine aid flowing into her (hopefully this isn't a problem!)
[ +- ] Summon Celestial -- Defender
