Ugg looks at the ball then at the Dwarf and raises an eyebrow. "As easily as the other balls broke I doubt it would be worth that much, I know!" Ugg then pulled out his javelins and looked at his companions. "Anybody want to play darts with me using the shiny ball as a target?"

“Ha ha..” Balrog chuckles, “most certainly...but, care to make a little wager?”

Nice nat 1 Bal. I can't even THINK of how to punish you for that, since it's just you talking to Ugg, so i'll wait to see how this plays out. 

Anyone besides Balrog who's within 5 feet of the ball will need to make a WIS save.

Ugg smiles again and nods.

"What kind of wager did you have in mind?"

“Hmmm...howz about a gold piece to whoever smashes the orb with their throw?” Balrog says, “You may go first”.

With that Balrog pulls out a crystal from a hidden pocket and begins to rub it in a circular motion with his thumb.

From the back of the pack, Judas just shakes his head at the wagering going on.  He continues to the other end of the room, to inspect the doorway/entryway/? to the next room onwards (area 8).

AREA 8

This area is simply a corridor that leads to Area 9.

Ugg takes a javelin and walks to a spot about 20 feet from the glowing orb and sizes up the target. Then with a powerful throw he heaves the javelin at the orb hoping to shatter it with his throw. Attack: 17 Damage: 6

SMASH! You hit the globe, it shatters hard, and the musical chiming stops as the orb turns black and burnt out.

Nice shot.

Balrog yells, “Bravo!” to get Uggs attention while behind his back he twists his fingers around the crystal to form a ball with his fist. He imagines a blue orb, then flicks his other hand in the direction of the old broken one.

”However Orc... I don’t think ye completely destroyed it... take a look again...”

Balrog then picks up a javelin and throws it at the illusion of the orb.

Attack:20

Damage: 4

WOOSH!

A miss.

Varth joins Judas in the other room, looking around for anything that might pique his interests.

Investigation:11

“Bahhh.. here’s yer gold.. don’t spend it all on one rat!” Balrog snarls as he flicks Ugg a gold coin and follows the others into the next room.

Catching the gold coin Ugg began to laugh loudly Sy the poor shot then grabbed his  javelin's before following the rest into the next room. 

"Want me to show you how to throw a javelin, dwarf?" 

He said with another laugh.

The next room looks like a simple corridor into the next area.

Balrog just grunts in response to Ugg and continues down the corridor to meet up with the others.

“Right, did ya find ought in here Varth?”

Oh snap, I just saw that Varth posted. My bad, my Philippino friend.

There is a pressure plate on the floor. It is obviously a trap. It is small enough that you could step over it without triggering it. Man, I should call you all trap hunters. Onward.

POINTS OF INTEREST
DC15 Intelligence (Investigation): Varth finds a pressure plate trap.

AREA 9 - THE DRAGON RIDDLE

Dust fills this hall like a layer of gray snow. In the rounded northern end of the chamber stands a ten-foot-tall sculpture of a coiled dragon carved from red-veined white marble. On the wall next to the statue is a riddle:

We come at night without being fetched
We disappear by day without being stolen.
What are we?

”Hrrmm.. what comes at night.. clouds.. moons.. argh... blasted riddles..” Balrog mutters.
