Grimes, being a halfling of very little brain, decides to stick his most valued possession into the mouth of the bas-relief face. The jaws promptly clamp down and, like a bull dog, refuse to open again. Grimes pulls and pulls but Wave is stuck in the maw of the rocky face. The gem remains within.
Dieter and Dandy follow the side passage, because splitting the party always works well. They peer into a small cave-perhaps 20' or so by 30' in length. Its walls and floor are covered with streaks and blotches. There seems to be no exit.
