Starker:”Before we rest, let me see if leaving the gems pacifies the portal. Please one of you join me to drag my corpse or mangled body back to Kragen should the results refute our hypothesis.”
<sets down gems, waits for someone to indicate they will accompany him, attempts to walk through gateway with runes indicating none with the Glyph of Greed may pass.>
Starker gets to the door, takes both gems out, starts to set them down … pauses …
“I have come, but I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. These gems are mine.”

"Xanadu is a cousin of mine, Starker! Have you crossed paths with him as well?" 😁
When we were first brought together - very first brought together, before Starker and Xymox joined us- the mage Xagyg sent us to a dungeon through some dreamland. While we were there we needed to use gems to solve the puzzle to escape the dungeon. There were various types of gems just like here, in that case there were statues with facets and a set of clues like eagle, skull and a set of traps when those were arranged improperly.
Perhaps, XygaG was preping us for what we have come across now.

Kragen will follow Mage Starker, in the event he succumbs to further moral adjudication.

(( the haunting sound of wood blocks and dolorous bell peals fills the air momentarily… ))
