The room you are in with the tipsy-turvy floor has no other doors you can see other than the one Xymox opened. The door opened to a wall with a niche and sculpted hands in a cupping position. Gems fill the hands. Writing is all over the wall.

Xymox yells over his shoulder: “All right, scholars of doom—no dithering. I’m taking one sapphire. Singular. If the tomb throws a tantrum, at least it will match my eyes.” To Kragen, "Master dwarf, ready yourself."
If there are no objections, Xymox will grab the gem.
Starker send Jievs to pick up and retreive a gem that Xymox recommends. “Something blood red, if you see one, please.

Xymox: "Mage hand? Grab one? Leave it alone?"
Starker:”These hand are unshaken, but I doubt they are the referent for the hands in the poem:
No death dared claim him, his knowledge complete, / Not bound to this tomb, though here lies his seat.”
“For those who pry with eyes unearned, / From soul to shell, your fate be turned.”
“A prize awaits the hand unshaking, / But only through the truth forsaking.”
“From shadow deep to astral flame,
I crafted death and gave it name.
But wisdom lies beyond the gate,
Not through the doors that tempt with fate.”
Starker:”I think you can take ONE, not <zero> or <two or more>.

Xymox extends his hand forth and draws a sapphire from the selection of gems in the cupped hands.
