North nods "We could go fight guardians... It seems to be one of the undiscovered paths that we can choose from. Perhaps, though, the other seemingly undiscovered path..." He points at the double brass doors that say "the dust of ages"... And then looks back at Sweet William.
"But dusty things are kind of boring." He looks at Tabby to concur.
"And guardians sound like they're guarding something!"
"Most of these other paths seem to be traveled," he looks at the new secret door again "like this one... The trap is already broken!" He motions at the collapsed floor boards.
"Let's go fight guardians!" He cheers, then scratches an itch that is deep within a crevice of his body. He secretly sniffs his fingers and then recoils and coughs.

"Well, it depends.", Tabby was being very Tabby, "If it's an interesting book that just happens to be dusty, It can be interesting, but if we're going to face dusty non-living animated monster, I don't like them very much.", she huffs, "My awesome abilities don't work as well against old undead, or those dumb animated taxidermy we just faced.? Also, undead extra stink, cause If I hit one really hard, there's a chance my fist might go through their body and it's really really nasty. Touching their insides. Yuck. I should probably get full-fingered gloves."

OOC: It's his Sweety-Sense!
Since she was (mostly) useless with projectiles, Tabby quickly made her way over to the half-orc and stood by his side. The brave little feline would fight side by side with the mighty barbarian!
She said something so Sweet William would not step on her. "Please don't step on me," she whispered.

hum when they are brought together.?
There may be barely enough room for a thin humanoid to crawl under the crossed polearms and between the statues.

North knows he could just teleport past the guards, but he's not that excited to get stuck in a sticky situation right now. He's focused on other things and would prefer to observe.
However, as the bats fly overhead, North will use his forest gnome abilities to Speak with Small Animals and communicate with the bats.

"Tell me what lies beyond this doorway."
The little Tabaxi was not sure she liked when the half-orc 'smiled'. "Oh dear. Are you okay?", she asked.
Tabby also backed up while she made sure none of the bats got stuck in her 'hair'.

Sweet William,
prepared for an ambush, leads the way forward with trusty

Flynn?and

Five feet . . .?
Ten . . .?
Fifteen . . .?
Twenty . . .
Then,
Sweet William?and
Tabby?feel the floor shift slightly under their weight. The pressure plate is depressed and two of the carved warriors pivot out from the walls in front of the party, crossing their metal halberds before them to bar the way to the northern doors.
The blades spark and hum when they are brought together.?
There may be barely enough room for a thin humanoid to crawl under the crossed polearms and between the statues.
The rustle of countless tiny wings stir as swarms of bats high above are awakened from their slumber by the disturbance. They flutter about occasionally dropping down unseen but brushing against you
now and again to nip at your ears or nose.
And what do you do?
