<strong>"Hold on a moment...  the statue is magical.  I read Conjuration and Transmutation magic associated with it.  Perhaps it can be activated with the arm re-attached?  The question of course is *why* would we want to activate it?  Do you think it possess some key to go forward?"</strong><br/><br/>Jin picked up the arm and went over to the statue.  Looking at it, he seemed doubtful as to the wisdom of blindly activating this thing- but he also knew there was a fiendish and perverse intellect behind this place, designing things in such a way as to deny those who did not cooperate with its plans.<br/><br/>Casting some more of his combat prepartory spells, he assumed the form of an Asabi again, followed up by strengthening his already thick scales.  Conjuring a shield of force, he then attached the arm unless anyone stopped him.
