[ Istredd almost instinctively made a shield for them, and it's possible it would have temporarily worked if something did pop out. His powers work so randomly in here, and occasionally more drastic than he wanted. It went from a little spark of fire that died out quickly to a huge and dangerous flame once. He is trying to be very careful about the use. It's a relief when whatever that is seems to stop.
Still, it doesn't bode well. But whatever they saw glinted within it appears to be real. The shroud was helpful, so this probably is too. He's just more concerned about Steve putting his hand in something that could be harmful. ]
Ohhhh. [ He winces. ] Sorry.
[ It looks very disgusting but he watches and is low key glad to be with someone who doesn't mind. At this point they really can't be squeamish though. With everything happening around them, what's one more thing to be coated in? Istredd almost offers to help get it out when it seems hooked, but it makes way. He follows his eyes to the mace.
Istredd reaches out to take it and carefully slides it away from the statue, before offering it over to Steve. There is no question that he is not going to be the person who wields something like that. ]

Whatever's in there ... it's concerning.
