Rimere holds up two fingers and says, "Two words. Mad Wizard."Her explanation given, she returns to look over the other orbs in the room. Before she can get too into the process however, TikTak nudges her hand. "Oh yes. This. *looks it over* Hmm. Unfamiliar formulas. Here. One of you, perhaps." She holds out the scroll between the two tieflings until one of them grab it. Soon after, she turns back to Violet and adds, "Either way, probably dangerous. Weaponizable maybe. Hm! A curious thought." She trails off muttering to herself.

Debauchery inspects the door, looking for a way to open it and coming to the conclusion that the best option may be just a good ol' kick (or yank if it pulls out). So that is what Debauchery does.

Peonchi doesn’t pay much mind to the scroll being handed out to her or the other tiefling, finding that it would be kind of useless in her hands, but she observes as Silvain knocks over another orb. “Dontcha think we should investigate these orbs first before we go ahead and knock ‘em over or...?”

Debo: No matter how hard you look, or how hard you try, the door will not open and appears almost magically sealed.
Silvian: You break orb #5. 11 gems fall out of the orb, and another key.
Peonchi: Peonchi don't know shit, sweetie. =P LOL. But something happens as you smash Orb8
A key falls out along with a silver ring. After a few moments, the ring speaks telepathically to everyone in the room.
“Stop before you put me on. I confer the following powers upon my wearer: invisibility, haste, immunity to charms, fly once per day, detect magic, and one wish. I also provide the benefits of protection and spell turning. The only drawback is that once a year I permanently eat a small part of your life. I must be worn before I can leave this room; merely carrying me away is not possible. If ever I am removed from my wearer’s finger, however, all my powers are lost. So you must decide right now who will wear me forever.”
Rimere examines her key a few more times, then pockets it. "Later then."As she turns to examine the gems and second key next when the ring speaks into everyone's mind. Whereas a lesser duergar might've been immediately consumed greed, Rimere squints and tries to work out any underlying truth to the rings words. She even began fiddling with the magic ball in her hand, drawing forth its power.
"Chatterbox. Mn. Definite designation if Wizard created you. Explains sealing too if able to speak to foe and friend alike freely. Could give way secrets." Her grip tightens on the orb in hand. "Not good. Not good at all." If no one else beats her to the punch, she grabs the key from orb 8 and tries the lock with it.

Kal'iente: "Oy. My Queen {he bows deeply when mentioning her name} told me stories of such magical wonders on this plane, but I never thought I'd actually see one in person." He looks upon the ring with awe and amusement, but refuses to touch it let alone put it on. (Arcana check to see if he might know anything about the ring, and if it's legitimate or not, and if it'll turn him into an older hag if he puts it on: 13)
Silvian reaches for the ring, but hesitates and pulls his hand away. "These sort of magic items always find a way to get you in the end. I distrust them, and I think we should leave this thing behind. Perhaps we may be able to return with more resources and further identify these properties."
"That turned out well. I assumed that when the door locked shut, you had stumbled into some gas chamber and that you were all going to die. I'm glad that you didn't. But maybe wait for our scout to check out to see if a room is trapped before charging in. Now, let's be heading onward."

Kal'iente quickly pockets the magic ring....for later "research", before turning on his feet and marching right out of the room. "The other path, then?"
Peonchi does not eat the ring and instead looks at Kal with a raised eyebrow as he pockets the ring and starts his way out. "Dude, did you not hear it or...? Ring man woman said they gotta be put on before it leaves the room."

As Rimara had been too busy pouting at Violet for the admonishment, only TikTak notices the pocketing between the two. And he has no mouth to speak of, or cared for that matter. "Talking Ring. Doesn't-..."She looks back to where the ring last was, only to shrug off its disappearance. "Doesn't matter. Whelm not here. Time to go. Used to be scout too. Of sorts. Better least in pairs." She expreses all in rapid fire, and then bustles off towards the nearest crossroad with TikTak fluttering behind her.
If none immediately follow, she waits at the crossing for the others.

As he trails off, Silvian will head to follow Rimara, letting her take the lead.
"What kind of magic ring only works in one room? To me it sounds like it's magically trapped. Perhaps it might be a blessing that Kal pocketed it and walked out."

Silvian takes the scroll with a grin, "Now, if we're going to be taking chances, I think this one looks reasonably fine."
He then puts a hand on the sphere in the center of the room and breaks it open.
Peonchi doesn’t pay much mind to the scroll being handed out to her or the other tiefling, finding that it would be kind of useless in her hands, but she observes as Silvain knocks over another orb. “Dontcha think we should investigate these orbs first before we go ahead and knock ‘em over or...?”
She’ll take initiative and investigate orb 8.
Investigation: 5

The key from orb#8 unlocks the door!
Let me know what you guys will do with the ring, if anything.

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
The ring is magical, as it spoke to everyone in the room. What it claims it can do, is yet to be seen.
None of you have heard of this kind of ring.
Silvian reaches for the ring, but hesitates and pulls his hand away. "These sort of magic items always find a way to get you in the end. I distrust them, and I think we should leave this thing behind. Perhaps we may be able to return with more resources and further identify these properties."
