Oberon advances cautiously towards the chest...

Oberon draws his new sword and looks at his reflection in the polished steel blade, 'Tell me Vei-eldur, are these statues or those skeletons imbued with magic; are they able to move and fight? I am the vessel through which you will destroy the Ash Demon... So look after me. A bit.'

With his lantern illuminating the situation, Oberon takes a closer look at these "dog statues".

Oberon grunts, 'Time to take the fight to them, let's go.'

Oberon shoulders his way two-paces into the room and quickly looks around for immediate threats. If it seems appropriate, he calls back to the party and describes what he sees.
