Praise be Rena, otherwise Glaive and Valair would be enjoying a nice cold cuddle to death.

If the man's is asking for a ban, might as well give it to him. Good riddance.

Then you'd just be crying about why it's permanent instead.

Oh no, oh no. Someone warn his "roommate" Smarty's about to lose it.

how many are similar, and which ones?
Kapuchu's character also has a dragonic transformation for one.
Gods… Alexander couldn’t stay mad, and the fact that he had pushed Thoth to tears did make him feel like a jerk. “I’m sorry,” he apologized, taking his helmet off to meet her eyes if she bothered to look at him after that, “I didn’t take your situation and circumstances into consideration.” He wasn’t the tallest person, but if she didn’t back away he’d kneel just slightly in front of her, hopefully making her more comfortable. She didn’t seem like the type of person to pursue profit at the cost of others, but blinded by his immediate emotions Alexander had simply picked the easiest target.
“Please stop beating yourself up, Goddess. Your antidote did save Vincent in the end,” he tried consoling her, “and I’m sure if adventurers are careful it won’t be too problematic.” Unsaid was that it wouldn’t be easy to remember a warning after a stressful battle and dealing with dying from poison. It was preferable to risk paralysis than certain death from poison in the end, and it seemed that he had just abused her best efforts. “Again I’m sorry,” he apologized again, bowing his head and hoping the Goddess accepted it.
He also hoped that his actions hadn’t soured Vincent’s relationship with Thoth on the Goddess’ part. If she accepted his apology, Alexander would sigh quietly and point out that Vincent had tried what Thoth had described. “Actually, he did drink a bit of the potion at first. A few moments later though, and it must have been painful enough for him to drink the rest. I don’t think there would have been enough time to escape. And what do you mean the last time? Are things different this time around?” If not, he would simply stay until she calmed down or chased him out.

Like Rena had mentioned these statues seemed like they might have represented important individuals. The craftsmanship that had gone into their creation seemed to reflect that much at the least, even if closer examination revealed little else but intricate details. “Freedom from taxes at the least,” he remarked with a wry grin, as he tried to shift the statue about to some success as Adam stumbled across the same feature. “Huh, guess you weren’t that far off the mark, Adam.”
With the knowledge, or assumption, that these statues were meant to be moved around, the three of them now needed to know how they were meant to be placed. “Think it’s about a good as a lead we have for the moment. Might be some hints around,” he said to the others as he glanced at the floor and then the room’s walls, eyes narrowing at the faint lines he could see. He didn’t recall anything of note on the door pertaining to the six statues, so ignoring it for now he walked over to the wall and brushed off a faint layer of frost to take a closer look.
"Hey, check if you see anything similar," he called to the others as the familiarity between the carving and one of the statues was readily apparent. Maybe they had just been paired together, but Valair wanted to think that there was a meaning for the carving's position here. 'Tch... confirmation bias...' Not the best sort of mindset to fall into he quickly realized, and both of the options could be true; they weren't mutually exclusive after all.

Alexander waited with a concerned expression as he heard the commotion Thoth had somehow managed to drum up. It seemed like a wild monster was loose in the backroom rather than the bookworm Goddess. Nonetheless she came out a minute, or so, later looking somewhat embarrassed to his confusion.
“Ah…” Alexander’s reaction was surprisingly tame, even to himself, considering disbelief warred with anger at the Goddess’ carelessness. “What?” he asked, not quite believing what he was hearing. She wanted to sell these faulty products that had almost gotten one of her Guild Members killed? He was surprised at the anger he felt towards the dainty looking deity, but her negligence and thoughtlessness was certainly pushing the right buttons. “You want to sell faulty potions that might very well get other adventurers killed? If Vincent didn’t have someone drag him out, he would be monster food.” He didn’t even care about Senna not sharing some of the loot she had come across, such a minor concern in comparison.
Vincent certainly also seemed to share his feelings, even if the paralyzation prevented him from expressing anything. “Wanna meet Ares?” he asked, not sure if the man wanted to stay around Thoth from the vicious sounds he made.

Damnit, just lost a post... it's in the void of the internet now.
RIP. I offer a moment of silence to pray for its safe journey.

I'll say this: the chamber itself is in fact a giant puzzle, and the clue lies within the statues and the room itself. They are movable as well and the door can be opened... however, you would find that it just leads nowhere. It's kind of like the Red Door from Grave Encounters 2, you need to figure out how the door works, for it to actually lead anywhere.
Upon examining the walls, you may also learn that the statues are replicas of the Six Saints, or to your characters that they are of important figures of the world.
Well that was more than I hoped for. But damn it, 3spooky5Valair.
@Gnar The Missing Link Do the statues have any interesting plaques we can read, or any loosely held weapons? Say, a glaive of some sort?
To add on, any notable way to interact with any of the statues or the door? Can they be moved around? Would examinations reveal hidden switches and the like?

“I’m with Adam. Like he said, it’s going to be a very short fire. Still, there should be a Zippo in one of the inner pockets if you insist.” Valair shrugged as he placed the mostly empty water bottle back into his backpack and walked towards the center of the room. It had been readily apparent that the carvings differed from one another immensely, but standing in front of them really showed how little they resembled one another.
Though he studied them for a few moments, eventually his attention turned to the oddity among an already odd situation. He paced around the door to nowhere once, tapped its frame, and tried to open it from either side. Either side worked, but both failed to lead anywhere. Disappointed, he turned away from the door for now and focused on the statues like Adam had suggested.
At the same time, he tried to start up a bit of conversation to break the chilly silence. “Figure we might as well introduce ourselves some more. High school teacher here. Guessing you’re either in law or business, Rena? Sorry, no idea for you Adam.” Between the two of them, Adam’s attire didn’t give away much; it could have as easily been an uniform or just cheap clothes. On the other hand, well there weren’t all that many jobs that involved nice suits and suitcases filled with documents.
