there's a small click as the mechanism fires and a portion of the wall rises behind the statue, but not enough to slip underneath

Stefan climbs down from his spot and picks up the staff, going to check the portion of the wall that moved. It didn't seem like an exit, but maybe there was something in there? He starts towards it, then halts, thinking about what could happen if he just got close to it without thinking ahead. There could be some sort of switch or an item in there, but there could also be something dangerous. Perhaps it would be better to look in from a short distance away, just in case. He stops about two and a half feet away and crouches down, looking around to see if anything was visible in the space in the wall.
