(Since you said on the other side I assume you mean the south door) Beyond the door is a corridor. Walking around 40 feet down it you find that a rift opens here, Its debris strewn floor two feet below that of the corridor. No phosphorescent fungus grows in the rift. The corridor does continue pass the rift though the opening of the rift caused it to shift 10 to the west. A number of two foot diameter holes riddle the floor of the rift. The smell of burnt earth hangs in the air. The rift itself goes south-west to the north-east.
Iona follows her allies into the darkness. It's clear she's getting less fond of the situation as they go deeper and deeper into the lair, shooting a glance over her small shoulder to the still sizzling remains of the rat in the distance.
"Why have they made such an awkward lair?" she mutters aloud. "If they have raised the dead to serve them, then they must be magicians of some power." she curls her hand into a fist. "It will be wonderful to crush them."

Hikari: *Follows close behind* "I honestly don't know what to make of this labyrinth. But I agree that going to such lengths is quite the achievement even if done inefficiently."
As they pick their way down and across the rift they reach where the hall way begins again. Faded mosaic tiles decorate parts of the wall but most have fallen to the dust covered floor and shattered. At the end of the hall is a chamber and situated at the center of the chamber stands a slim rusted iron dragon statue the mouth is open and looks hollow.
The necromancer steps ahead, frowning as her eyes creep over the strange statue ahead of them. The girl walks towards it, pushing herself up onto her tip toes as she squints into the mouth of the thing.
"It seems my findings are correct." she muses. "They really do revere these reptiles."

Iona tilts her head as she clasps her hands around this strange bottle and it's crimson fluid. "Everyone." She calls to the others, turning to face them. "Look upon what I have gleaned from the reptile." She holds up the bottle. "This elixer is somewhat magical, yet it was hidden within the jaws of a statue, but for what purpose?"
The girl holds the bottle out for others if they want to take it.

Hikari: *Rolls the bottle in her pawed hand and feels its warmth, then she uncorks the bottle and smells its contents. She corks it back and cringes as the smell is of strong chilly peppers. Her eyes water for a bit.*
"Incredible! This is a Potion of Dragon's Breath! I've never seen one fully made before."

"Curious, a potion of fire breath?" She sweeps her hand up towards the statue. "Perhaps the followers of this religion sought to emulate these reptiles?" With that same hand she flicks her fingers in a dismissive gesture towards the potion. "How primitive, perhaps Zahir may treasure something like this." she titters as she looks around at her allies, silently doing a quick headcount.
"Dolum." she calls up before pointing ahead. "Take Zahir and look ahead, let us bring this incident to a resolution."
