Imoen hasn't left the back of the room and is suddenly grateful for it. She feels weirdly naked without her bracers, but it's too late now... Suddenly, she wishes she were a cleric, capable of casting restoration magics...
Hey, look, an indentation on the wall opposite the arch. I'm going to investigate it. Check it for traps and secret doors and instructions on how to dispel orange mist and whatnot.
And the poem again: ACERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION. SO MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL, FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT.
Go back through the Tormentor or through the arch and the second great hall you'll discover. Shun green if you can, but night's good color is for those of great valor. If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal- you're well along your march.
Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall. These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul, If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you'll come and there's the throne that's key and keyed.
The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewer's eye. You've left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.
"Maybe it has something to do with sacrificing the magical ring. Perhaps if we place that Ring of Protection +1 from the earlier chest into that slot."
*Voice inside Tiaxina's head:"These idiots can not help you. They do not care for you and have no love for you. They do not trust you and wish you were gone. See how Alora fears every move you make, and still how she won't even speak a word to you. You were lost here before you even started, you do not belong, now relinquish your body to me, so Tiax may once again RULE!"
Tiaxina winces a little before drawing a circle on the wall with her finger.*
A circle. What else does it look like. Zero... the letter O... a hole... any other ideas friends?

*Tiaxina examines the wall and thinks of the poem the poor late edwin spoke of*

*Looks over at Xzara and gives her a wink*
Imoen, I gave you the ring. But I think coins go in the slot.
