OOC: I'm going to hold here to let everyone catch up.
Running back to the Crossroads Ark room, you find that the northern doors are open. You look through the doors and see across the room.
You are looking north across room 19.
Room 19:
Shattered benches have fallen in rows in this dust-covered chapel. Shelves, now devoid of books, stand against north and south walls. A large, ornate altar stands near the eastern end. Near the center of the room, there are four statues of warriors in gruesome poses, their heads stricken from their bodies. They do not look familiar.
However, standing near the northern door, you see two more statues bearing the likenesses of Lumen and the other warrior that followed him through.
The northern door is open, and something rolls in from that room, a round orb that strikes near their feet and stops for a moment before exploding, sending the statue of Lumen and the warrior into shards and rubble.
Syrissa stands next to you. "Esylia!" she says in a half whispered curse.
You can see a little into room 20. It appears to have some sort of giant hole in it.
The vial of bluish liquid held by Lumen falls to the ground, undamaged by the explosion.
