The Maker says...

Examining the statue and the gem closely Corren is able to determine that the gem appears to be held fairly loosely in the talons of the staff, however there is a bit of a discoloration near the bottom of the gem where it meets the talons and upon closer inspection he believes that the gem is definitely attached to the staff in some fashion, perhaps by some kind of cord. Attempting to remove the gem will likely pull this cord though Corren does not necessarily know what what would happen at that point.

Corren steps back and says, "The gem is attached to something, maybe a string. When you pull it out, something will happen. It might be noisy, it might not. But I'd be willing to bet it will be dangerous." He says nothing more at that moment.

"Well, that confirms what we already suspected. That would seem to indicate a physical trap rather than a metaphysical one, so it should be safe to simply touch. Now that we know it is there, think you can sever that line without shifting the gem much?"

Corren slowly turns his head to look at Leo. "Any why do you think I'm willing to try? I said we should leave it. And initially you agreed with me." He turns to look at the others. "Now you all want to take it, or at least have me take the risk to acquire it. Is that about right?"

"Peace Corren, I was just suggesting that disabling the trap would be more prudent than just avoiding its effects. I can still pull it out from around the corner."

"You are right, I agreed at first, but it sounded like the attempt would be made regardless, so I figured it would be better to assure that it was done safely."

"And I have to admit, Zinna is right, we're in a war here, and we have already felt the lack of tools needed to fight it properly. I do not believe this will be the last mission against the Iliosani or their like, and trapped or not, that gem could help make the difference next time."

Zinna frowns as the two argue. " Wait, wait. It was my suggestion Corren. Do not be angry at Sir Leo. You said we should leave it unless someone had a good reason. I feel that this is a good reason. It's my idea. I'll not ask someone to take a risk that's my idea. " She glances at Sir Leo. " Be ready with your rope. I can sever the string with magic. " She takes out a dagger that was sheathed on her thigh. She looks at Corren. " Any objections to me trying this Corren? I'm not going to put you at risk. This will be safe. "

Corren obviously clenches his jaw a moment, then shakes his head. "Go ahead." He turns and investigates the other door at the southern end of the hallway.

Zinna looks at Corren oddly. Why is he upset she wonders. I don't know what I did. " She looks to Sir Leo. " Everyone, take cover. Leo, I'm cutting the trap thread now. Be ready. " She does a short incantation and waves her fingers around a moment. A spectral hand appears and a smile turns up the corners of her lips. At her direction the hand takes the dagger from her and moves to the thread. It begins sawing at the cord and will continue until it is cut through.

Out of Character: : Zinna will cast Mage Hand and direct it. She will try to hide around the corner from the room once the hand begins sawing. Zinna will use the full distance allowed with the spell and will be as far away as possible.
