Currently Anika would give Laz's face a 1/10 rating, would not eat.
She turns her attention to the hatch that she totally just found on purpose and swipes her paw at it. This is completely ineffectual and even she probably realized that as she didn't really try that hard as it likely would hurt her claws more than it would damage the hatch.

Laz attempt to open it is more effective however as she can feel it starting to loosen with a loud sound of metal breaking. She's going to have to pull again but eventually it does open up just enough for her and Awen to slide down through it. Underneath it is a shaft with a ladder carved into it that's illuminated by faintly glowing red orbs in-between each step.

But before they climb down the ladder they might notice something, the carvings displaying open lidless eyes have all mysteriously changed into simple lines as if they just closed while they weren't looking. This seems to suddenly turn the entire ship, the hatch they just broke open included, invisible.
The shaft is still there but it now looks like some kind of weird rift in reality that they would have to climb into.

If they do, they will find that it's uncomfortable warm inside the obelisk ship. The temperature well above that which most humanoids are comfortable with. It probably won't bother Laz but Awen might need a spell to not be drenched in sweat or have trouble breathing down there.

Of course, once they've either just jumped/flied down into the hatch or started climbing the ladder they will notice that the sunlight coming through the breach Laz just created suddenly disappears. Did the hatch close? Nope.
It's just a bear trying to come through and not quite fitting.

A transformation later Anika still struggles a bit as she's larger than both of them even with all that armor Laz is wearing. "Stupid... okay, there! I'm throuuu-"

And so the druid falls down the hatch.
Saint Lazarus tries her best to ignore the bear. Given how very different it is from her normal prey species, this is a lot easier than it could've been. If Anika had chosen to be an elf, well...

"We've got to keep moving. Time is limited," she declares, sprinting down the hall, oblivious to the ship's attempts to make a sweaty, uncomfortable mess of the rest of her party. That's not to say she's without any distractions at all, of course. Her stomach growls at her, and her mouth salivates expectantly, eager for the tasty meal it's come to subconsciously associate with periods of adrenaline and bloodshed. There has to be at least some demons made of meat, right? Or human-shaped minions she could tear into? They used to work with gnoll tribes a while back, right? She could probably sink her teeth into a gnoll without issue, though it wouldn't taste nearly as delicious as a human or elf.
