Sol says "I will watch this side corridor..." as he stands facing the narrow corridor with sword and spear ready...

There's nothing more that Gaderon can learn from a closer examination of the wheel. The pointer is obviously movable, but that's about all.

The wall paintings and writings are of some interest in that the depictions here are of Rahotep and various other Khemitians, male and female, royal, noble, and commoner, all engaging in religious and domestic activities. Rahotep is seen in various situations: eating, attended by slaves and servants; entertained by musicians, dancers, and performers; accompanied by his harem of concubines; speaking to an audience of lesser priests, and so forth. Hieroglyphs and hieratic script recount his typical activities and state that Rahotep will enjoy these things and more after death. On the right wall is an admonishment aimed at intruders:

Note all the great happiness of Rahotep, and know that the Set Rahotep will have greater joy still. Welcome to all you who enter, for you will serve under His power and pleasure.

Taking a closer look at the statue, Gaderon notices that the long iron rod is clearly not a part of it, and might probably even be removable. He also notices that the statue's eyes are inset with huge crystals.

Kherim approaches the statue, and without touching it examines it from close view.

"You say this thing is movable, Gaderon?" he says pointing at the rod. "How much do you think it would weigh?"

"Please let me see if there's a trap first before taking anything, please. Wanna bet that wasn't just left here like that
without some kind of precaution?" The female thief approaches Kherim and the statue. "Here, allow me." She pushes herself in between Kherim and the statue and begins inspecting it carefully.

"As I said Eilkahn there is a trap on the statue, Kherim and I will certainly move out of your way for the time being... Still there is something to this room, and yet I see no obvious pattern to point out what might be the correct way to deal with it. Surely this temptation is either a taunt or a lie, but what could be hidden in that meaning? I am guessing this dial is the key to the puzzle but without some kind of reference on whether one symbol has more meaning toward opening or unlocking I do no know where to begin... Any thoughts?"

Gaderon gives a casual gaze around the group to see if one of them will respond...

Ivid groans and lets himself sink on the ground.

"Curses and ghosts! - That's what we find here!
Give me something to break!"

Sol turns and says "I can help move the rod. Elmo, will you come over here and watch this corridor?" With that Sol will join the others waiting while Eilkhan checks for traps.

Kherim listens at Gaderon's musing and without any real insight he offers plainly, and with little confidence
"perhaps the dial has to be in the right position to open the secret door".

He then turns to Eilkhan
"We already know there is a trap there, but would you be able to disarm it, Eilkhan?"

Eilkhan carefully searches the statue for traps, but can't find any.
