There isn't anything else in this particular room, but it is obvious that Bolovaar below isn't aware of your existence from here. Etrigan, your familiar is able to easily scope out some more of the room. You see that there are 12 pillar around the room, although 2 have been knocked out of place, one towards Bolovaar, and one closer to the door you came in, but it is hard to tell if there is anything special about them from you fly over.
"It would seem our only option now is to deal with this old wizard. I don't have any intention of being his servant, and neither have any of you I think, which leaves us with fighting him."Etrigan says with a determined smile, looking to the others.
"There are twelve pillars down there, two of which are knocked out of place. Not sure if that's important. I wouldn't mind attacking from this angle but then again I have these." Etrigan says, slightly unfolding his bat-like leathery wings. "Any idea how you would prefer to go about this?"He asks the others.
(Is Daj with us or did he disappear somewhere along the way?)
"Seems like we should try to fix the place. Put the prison back together," Rohesia says, keeping her voice down so it hopefully won't be heard below. "I've got no ideas how to do that though."
"Eh. Let's just kill 'im. Those pillars that are broken are probably signs that the magic in this place is failing... If the Scab wasn't proof enough that is. I for one would rather put an end to the guy once and for all instead of leaving him to break out another day." Athyra says to Rohesia before looking at Etrigan, "Can you fit through this grate? If you can, then we could leave you up here. Rohesia and I can face him head on, and you can get at least one surprise attack."
"Yes, I too would prefer to just deal with this vacation-wrecking menace permanently, and I haven't the faintest idea on how to lock him up properly again." Etrigan growls, calling Zasz back to his shoulder. "As much as I like a good surprise I think I'll just follow you two down there and take on the wretched old man face to face. It seems more...proper." The demon adds and returns to the pool, ready when Rohesia and Athyra is, to pull the white lever back to red.
"Proper fight it is then," Rohesia says, following Athyra and Etrigan. As the demon readies to pull the lever she again considers the longsword she was given earlier. She decided to pull it from its scabbard and probably use it against this foe.
When you return to the red gem door and let it open, you can see Bolovaar still waiting at the other end of the room, though he makes no mention of your return.
Lord Belovaar calls out to you finally, "Ah you returned! How gracious! Now is one of you going to help me leave this absurd....prison? I really would be most appreciative."
As you consider your options, your eyes take in the room again, noting the 12 pillars that line the room, and two that are significantly offset currently, and then looking at the shiny black sarcophagus it occurs to you that the coffin bears a remarkable resemblance to the Spire itself. The pillars give off a faint arcane aura that might lead you to believe they have some connection to the coffin as well. Though hard to see from the door, and partly because Belovaar is standing in the way, there seems to be some writing on shiny black box as well.
Rohesia keeps her voice low, "I don't think he can leave that room. At least not without our help. Or without more damage to whatever is holding him." She steps back a little bit from the doorway but still keeps an eye on this Lord Belovaar. "I just don't know how it all works. Can any of you make out the writing on the shiny black thing?"
"And what exactly would we have to do to help you Lord Belovaar? It wouldn't involve offering up our lives would it?" Etrigan responds to the old tiresome wizard.
Meanwhile he messages Zasz on his shoulder to take on his bat form to invisibly enter the chamber to read the writing on the shiny black sarcophagus for him, briefly using his sight if necessary.
Rohesia steps close to the portal and quickly scans this new, partially collapsed room. (Perception: 18)

"You are right," Athyra says, "Well, can you see anything useful down there? Or should we just get this over with."

(He's still in the moon chamber)

When you return to the red gem door and let it open, you can see Bolovaar still waiting at the other end of the room, though he makes no mention of your return.
Something seems off to the demon and he tries to determine if this is some kind of trap, moving up to the door and peeking inside.

As best you can tell from here, nothing seems particularly out of the ordinary, and as far as you know, Bolovaar has been telling the truth.
Athyra is also unsettled by the silence. She tries her best to gage what might be going on in the old man’s head.
Perception: 10
Insight:13
He appears to be standing at the other end of the room, almost expecting you now, but he doesn't seem to be occupied with anything else.
"Uh, are we just going to stand here?" Athyra says to no one in particular.
Lord Belovaar calls out to you finally, "Ah you returned! How gracious! Now is one of you going to help me leave this absurd....prison? I really would be most appreciative."

Meanwhile he messages Zasz on his shoulder to take on his bat form to invisibly enter the chamber to read the writing on the shiny black sarcophagus for him, briefly using his sight if necessary.
The inscription reads: "May you live forever as you wished, trapped among your works of wickedness."
He looks at you Etrigan and holds out his hand. "Oh you know, we shake on it."
