Also is the first sphere within reaching distance from the hallway? if so, Grey will warn the others to step back, and he will tap it with his magic warhammer. Just intending to push it a tiny bit to see if it moves/sways, not trying to break it.
“What do you suppose we do with these? Is it a trap, or a puzzle, or something else.” Anton watches as the others test the spheres. Seeing the dart skitter across the floor, Anton tries to put more pressure on the square. He pulls out his collapsing pole, extends it to its 10 foot length, and presses down on the square in front of the door, watching to see if anything happens to the sphere.

"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
Razzec, while staring at the door on the far side of the room, asks, "Do you have all 4 keys or do we need to go get the last one before continuing here? It'd suck to solve this puzzle just to be stuck from going any farther without all the keys. Or do you think we'll get the last one there?"
Razzec scans over his whole body and nods to himself before following suit and stepping on to the floor. "Maybe it's going to take a lot of weight to get it to react?"
Nico sighed. "Maybe," he started, uncertain of his theory, "it's just that this is supposed to be the last door? After all, this 'trap' is right in front of the door, and so far we can still walk right up to it. Maybe it only activates once we have all the keys, or once we open the door?"
Razzec looks at the ceiling and then at the floor. "Are we to play Tic-Tac-toe now?"
Can we see inside the spheres by chance?

You tap the sphere and it moves. There is a metallic *tink* sound. They are silvery.

Watching Grey test the sphere, Nico decided to test the square directly under it.
The bard produced a dart, then tossed it onto the square so as to fall with it's point down, right in the middle of the square.

The dart clacks on the stone floor and skitters across the room.

Are the chains long enough that we could push one sphere into another sphere?
“What do you suppose we do with these? Is it a trap, or a puzzle, or something else.” Anton watches as the others test the spheres. Seeing the dart skitter across the floor, Anton tries to put more pressure on the square.

They do not.

Razzec, while staring at the door on the far side of the room, asks, "Do you have all 4 keys or do we need to go get the last one before continuing here? It'd suck to solve this puzzle just to be stuck from going any farther without all the keys. Or do you think we'll get the last one there?"
"I believe we already got the key from this tower and need one more from another tower" Grey responds.
Ember nods. "This was the extra 'hope for some loot' portion of exploration in THIS tower. There is still one more tower to go."
He frowns before continuing.
"I am sorry. I should have flown ahead and scouted all this out instead of crossing that stupid disk trap and being forced into a dead end here."
"Well since we are here, we should try something..." and Grey will take a step onto the floor below the first sphere, his fingers crossed.
The floor does not react.

Seeing nothing happened as Grey reacted, Nico scratched his head and frowned. "Maybe it takes two?"
The bard then stepped onto the square right next to Grey's.

Grey will move to the next square, heading to the door. Unless something happens, he will move all the way to the other door if he can.
Grey makes it to the other side of the room with little trouble.
