As I see it you have two options before you. You could either try to figure out how to open the stone door and explore the cave or you could leave. The choice is yours.

What do you do?

Que, ever curious and not really in need of a rest, gets up as soon as it seems proper (or perhaps a little before) and goes to investigate the door.
OOC:
Since I said 'investigate the door' I'm rolling investigation, but perception would be better for Que. Change the modifier to +5 in that case

Rolls

Investigation - (1d20+1)

(7) + 1 = 8

Short rest healing d8 + 4(song of rest bonus)

Puts me at 12/13 hp.

As the group rests, Harbek sees Que get up and walk over to the stone door that stands between the group and being able to delve deeper into the area they were exploring. Getting up and moving over to have a look at it as well, he says to Que quietly,

I know these two be needin' to be gettin' back to family and all, but I feel compelled to find what it is that be makin' so many undead beasties and put a stop to it.

With that, he begins to search in earnest to learn what he can about the door while the rest of the group continues to rest up.

@Que
I'm just gonna move your post about wild shape to the ooc thread. I'll throw in my 2 cents when I get the chance.
You examine the door and it is just a solid stone slab. There are no features, designs, mechanisms or keyholes. You cannot see any way to open the door.

@Harbek
OOC:
You can add your con modifier to that heal too.
You see no obvious way to open the door either but this arena looks exactly like the first picture you examined in the room where you fought the wolves.

anyone have hammer? Smash door?

@couchlord: a fair point--I should probably have replaced "bigger" with "more enthusiastic" :)

OOC:
@caseace that wasn't a criticism, it just sparked the question in my mind. Is Rabe pretty normal-sized then?
Jun 18, 2017 1:39 pm
OOC:
@couchlord yep, he's a human wizard and stands at 6, 2"--and as a former farmer with a level of Fighter he's fairly well-built at 218 lbs.

"Maybe the door needs a password or something? Let me check."

Rabe puts his palm on the door and tries to sense any magical energies.

Vrizz'ka takes a peek at the door, seeing if there might be some mechanism that might be subject to their tools.

@Everyone
You spend a large part of your short rest examining the door and indeed the entire wall for some oddity, something that looks like an opening mechanism but you find nothing.

@Rabe
You sit down with your legs crossed and your arms folded tightly accross your waist. You meditate and open yourself to the ebbs and flows of magic. You close your eyes for a moment and feel the sockets fill with energy. When you open your eyes you see what appears to be a trail of dark magic leading through the door. The door itself seems unmagical so you turn and follow the trail of dark magic as it leaves the room and heads up the tunnel towards the entrance. As it does, you notice the magic gives the pedastal in the center of the arena a wide berth. The obelisk on the center of the pedastal is glowing with a brilliant red light. It is also, clearly magical and clearly powerful.

"Ummm...I think the obelisk might have something to do with this door. There also seems to be a lot of dark magic on the other side, are you sure you want to open it?

Vrizz'ka is nervous about the obelisk and it's magic, they continue to click in their throat. They warily test and re-test the grip of their shortswords, while staying near to Rabe's back. Sparks of electricity begin to dance over their heard crests.

Glorendil seems nervous about the possibility that there might be nervous. He is quietly playing his lute and humming to himself to try and keep himself calm.

"If there's dark magic there, then we should deal with it," Que says cheerily, "not wait for someone else to come along and get themselves killed. So what about the obelisk will open the door?"
Jun 19, 2017 8:59 pm
Saris who hasn't been saying much up to this point becomes clearly interested. Saris moves to the obelisk and studies it for magical prowess.
OOC:
F...

"I'm not exactly sure... dark magic is flowing into this door from..."

Rabe gestures to the far entrance of the arena.

"Somewhere, but it's going right around the obelisk--the whole pedestal, in fact--and the obelisk is glowing with this red light. I have no idea what any of that means though."
