As soon as the first tablet is inserted there is a bright flash of radiant light, and loud grating sound of stone quickly moving across stone, followed by a thunderous boom. (Everyone: Make CON Save DC 10 or be blinded for 1 minute.) Those not blinded by the light discover that the way that the Party entered the chamber has been sealed off. However, what's more alarming are the 3 shadows rising out of the ground by the sealed off entrance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Whoa, @Larren12, I think @@Bushawk, MrJanuary812, @Smendrick and I all got fooled as your initial post 594 was just about the flash and stone grating sound, but I see now you've completed it and we need to roll CON saves and initiative... I think all our responses after that post until now were before the edit.)

Soren and Spike avert their eyes in time but Nettle, used to darkness and dim light as she is, closes her eyes a split second too late and is blinded.
"Stand ready," shouts the druid, "three shadowy abominations have appeared from behind us and are attacking. I think we need to defeat them before I put the second stone in, but let me know if anyone thinks I should just do it now."
Brixs insatiable curiosity was his downfall in this moment. He had been staring so intently at the apparatus trying to discern its mechanization that both eyes were wide with wonder when the flash hit. Instinctively turning away from the flash placed him face to face with the newly appearing threat. The rapid spin flips open a flap revealing a pouch tucked just under Brixs pack. From the pouch tumbles Dan the patchwork squirrel homonculous.
Thredash looks at the new inscription, puzzled - does that mean Garmuk and I have to flip each other?
Brix looks on with intense interest. His curiosity peaked by the oddness of the clues.

I'm assuming Soren's summoned beast of the land Spike and owl familiar Nettle are also in the room.

"I'm sure everything is fine, just fine," drawls Soren, deadpan...
He looks around for new hazards or enemies... still ready to put the a second tablet in if needed.

Garmuk freaks out a bit at the sound and pulls out his axe looking for a threat.
Brix say "Go on. Put another in."

(Soren will put the other one in as soon as, based on his Perception above, there doesn't look like there is anything else to do.)
