Olaf kneels behind the ruinous, burned altar to examine the remains of a dinted bowl, a twisted candelabra, and a pile of charred refuse, but soon gives up as Gustave give a sharp whistle which characteristic bravado from across the whole length of the chamber.
Gustave begins the laborious task of removing the heavy bar from the door, but realistically it's a job for two. Fortunately, Olaf comes loping toward him to assist... (though it will take him half a minute to cross the full length of the abbey).
Ulric, meanwhile, pokes around behind the charred altar, looking for clues or secret compartments {1d6} but finding none.
Unseen to the others, Invisible Highbough peers up into the lofty reaches of the abbey ceiling, high above. There are many grand arches and beams and busts of saintly looking women in the ceiling space -- most of the timbers are unharmed, while the statues have each been broken or defiled in some way. The roof looks intact, and there is a mezzanine level running above the two doorway at the rear of the abbey (above Gustave's position). There is no telling how to get up there from here though...
Armando eyes the great crater of smouldering tar nervously as Olaf begins to skirt around the right hand edge in order to reach Gustave...
