I have no issues with the statue traps for the most part. I think it's a good addition to the game to have some traps that aren't able to just be disabled via a disable trap kit. Not every trap in the universe can be disabled in the conventional way.
But how do the druids get around that tunnel. If it is the crown item that you can grab off the knocked out halfling druid and/or Nettie's crown, I'm good with that. However, I will tell you that I tried that as well and my character was still blasted into oblivion by the statues. I put on the crown from the halfling and died most heinously.
So if the crowns are the key, that's great. That makes sense. I'm good with that. However, it's not working correctly and may need to be fixed. Could be that it was just my game that glitched.
