Approaching the small alcove, she found an engraved lion's face in it, with an opening in its mouth about large enough for a person to stick their arm in.

Like any schmuck she did exactly that.

She had to reach deep into it to touch anything of note, her shoulder pressing against the lion's mouth... and something clicked. A mechanism was activated... and suddenly another click!
...And nothing happened. Apparently, there had been a trap in there a loooong time ago, but it had rusted into uselessness.
She was able to grab the handle at the end and pull it, which caused the fountain to shift and open, revealing an hidden staircase.
"Oh, wow", Agnes let out. "Good work."

"Cool. Let's go down and see what's there." Lis said rejoining them down there.

Yukino and Agnes followed her close with the others behind them as they headed down. The passage was getting darker as they went down, but Yukino lit up a torch.
They soon arrived to a large, underground room with two doors, one of which was locked. Of course, that is not what drew their eyes first, as they noticed how half the room was filled with webbing, as two giant, brown, hairy spiders large as ponies turned around and faced them.
"Oh, great", Agnes grumbled.

She ran forward and smashed her mace into the heads of both!
16 eff in CC +4 from Space. split into a 14/14 attack vs each spider.

Lisbeth literally crushed the first spider with a single, devastating blow, while she hit the other hard, though it survived.
Or at least, it survived until Agnes unleashed a lightning fast combo of sword strikes, essentially tearing it apart and finishing it off!
"Nice, nice! Lisbeth-sama is great!♥" Shampoo said happily.

"Thanks dear." She said returning to her side.

Shampoo gently kissed her.
"Hmmm... this door is locked", Agnes said, trying out one of the two.
"Other one is open", Yukino said as she opened the second one... only just barely dodging a crossbow bolt as she did! "...but trapped. Alright."

"Leave it to me." Lisbeth said walking up to the locked door and trying to force it.
12 stones in Str to try and break TF out of that door.

Kicking the door open revealed a dark, seemingly circular room? She could see a handful of barrels by the entrance, and crates further back, but it was too dark to see more.
"I keep forgetting how incredibly strong you two are", Agnes noted, as Irena stepped forward and used a light spell to illuminate the room. Only the first part was circular; the rest was a long storage room filled with crates.

Lisbeth walked up to the crates one by one and opened them by force if needed.
12 stones split 4/4/4 vs three crates to open them up.

Much to her surprise... the crates were filled to the brim with old, but still quite usable, high quality black powder, flintlock firearms ammunition, and cannonballs. A fortune of them.

"Gunpowder... Lots of it." Lis said. "No smoking in this room!" She warned the group. "Your call, you wanna leave this here, or store it away for bringing back home?" She asked Yukino and the others.

"Store it away where?" Yukino asked, apparently a bit confused by her question.
