Joarin and Hilda, aided by other party members, tried to push, pull, and attack the carvings with little effect. Willow tried pouring and shaping water to perhaps crack the stone, but with poor results. At length, other party members passed along up the hallway to inspect the door 30 or 40 feet further. That door depicted a cave, or grotto, and unlike the previous door, had clearly usable handles.

Unicorn Chasers Update #22
“It’s a sort of strong smell, you know?” Miriana asked, adding “I don’t meanthat it’s a foul odor, though it is, and it’s not pretty, but…there’s somethingabout her.
