A Matter of Faith

You descend the stone steps, carrying your lanterns in your hands, to find yourself in a small chamber. At its center stands a flawless statue made of white marble, completely untouched by time, without a speck of dust clinging to the polished surface. The woman is carved wearing a long flowing robe that drapes around in perfect folds around her body and feet.

Each detail is carefully defined; from the hair rolling down her shoulders. her calm and lifelike face - with full lips and eyes so precise that they even hold carved pupils and fine eyelashes! The gentle outline of her muscles beneath the smooth marbled skin, the curve of her breasts. Even her robe is similarly detailed: you can actually see the 'seams' in the fabric, the thin cord tied around the waist all rendered in exact stonework.

The only thing that isn't stone is a polished wooden staff the statue is holding, looking as new as the day it was placed there.

The chamber is eerily quiet, so much so that you can't hear anything from the tavern above your head. There is a single corridor leading away, into deeper darkness, but it seems less well-maintained than the chamber you are standing in.

What do you do?
