Remember how we 'helped' that golem working on our tower?
Cause one of the beast's arms and one of its body segments to grow in a way that hinders its balance and mobility. Avoid the now handicaped statue, and get to the entrance.

+1, also make it's spikes less spiky.
I concur.

You cast GOLEM ENLARGING SPELL OF INFINITE POWER (the name needs some work, you think) to enlarge the STATUE'S LEFT LIMB.
Its right limb fails to support its weight and breaks, leaving it unable to move.
JAMES slides past to the PEDESTAL, reaching it without incident.
He detects a SECRET BUTTON, presumably hiding the ENTRANCE.
He presses the SECRET BUTTON, and a section of PEDESTAL decends.
JAMES says he can't see the bottom, it's too dark even for his KOBOLD DARKVISION, and the sides of the ELEVATOR SHAFT are composed of BLINDING GRANITE, rendering his THIEF-SENSE ineffectual.
It is a straight drop downwards, with no handholds he can detect.
Dammit derm. He did the same to me. At least it's a good story.
Anyways...what tools do we have at our disposal, again?
Your inventory contains thus:
Your HAT, ROBES, and PENDANT (brown); Your MAGIC and SPELL books, BLACK-HAND JACK'S JOURNAL, a MANA POTION, and your ENCHANTED SWORD; three WANDS (Discount, Enchanting, Combat); your VAULT KEY, 200 GOLD, and an I.O.U. NOTE for 200 gold (from yourself).
CHARLIE and JESSE seem to be doing fine; while the STATUES are presumably very physically strong, they are slow and look to be mostly hollow. The one with the likeness of a BONE HORROR was likely the strongest of the four.
