Delve the Sixth

Wiglaff will help to rotate the statue through its full range of motion, to check whether there are any other traps or doors to open.

About every quarter turn that trap door opens for a few seconds, nothing else occurs

The door to the east bursts open, and framed in it is a giant white ape, 7 feet tall and shaggy. It bears its teeth and growls

Grampus turns to the white figure and says to the ape, “Hello great ape. Do you speak our tongue?”

Rhod lets go of the statue and turns to face the ape.

Wiglaff, currently unarmoured, steps away from the ape and motions for his footman, Wodan, to get in front of him.

Maloof dodges behind the statue, and will attack the ape with his mace from behind if it charges/attacks us. Otherwise, he will remain hidden.

Aldbane does not try to hide but remains in the open, ready to attack. He waits to see what the ape does in response to Grampus' query.

If the ape responds threateningly to Grampus' overtures of friendship, and Franklin has a clean shot, he will fire a sling stone.

If the ape attacks, Wiglaff will cast color spray.
