This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lumiere would like to assess the archway and skeleton before the rest begins. She does not want something to suddenly spring forth while they are trying to sleep in this eerie location.
The archway is pretty standard, the same as the previous ones, with the only difference that the mist is orange and the stones don't glow when you get close.

When the rest is done, and since there were no volunteers, I take a gold coin and poke a hole in it with hammer and piton/iron spike. Then cast light on it.
"Is being ugly ring, but is still ring! Here is hoping for work!" I kiss the coin-ring and stick it in the slot.

OK guys, obviously we missed something. The black devil mouth was death. The myst arches are death. The levers are death. The pits are slow death. The doors are spear death.
The gargoyle statue, I dunno...
The red circle, I dunno...

I go back to the gargoyle statue being careful not to do anything dumb.
I pull off the box and the gems from my robe. I put the arm in the box. I'm afraid that if the arm gets put back it will come alive or eat me or something. I put a gem into each depression, one at a time, using mage hand from 20 feet away, waiting for results.

You go back into the goblin room. The atmosphere is unsettling and the air is stale. You take three gems and put them into the three slots in the goblin's hands. For a moment nothing seems to happen, then the hands start closing on the gems crushing them and after they open again you see nothing but a little quantity of colored dust.

I turn to the Ranger "Why are you thinking I am giving to you 10 foot pole?! Don't use danger things to poke with! Please be putting arm in box and get ready for shoot something."
If I get the arm back, I keep it near me, and try again with the gems and Mage Hand at 20 feet.

Are the pictures you've been showing included as digital content or are they scans of hardcopy? They really help.

They're scans of the 1e module!
I wondered if that was the case . . .I own my dad's old Monster Manual and the pictures were reminiscent of that.

Ubogri decides to climb through the black sphere as well.
I forgot I decided to use Second Wind instead of a Hit Dice (since that recharges on a short rest), so here's the roll: 3

Ubogri you climb into the hole and you find all the others getting ready to take a long rest. They're pulling out sleeping bags and securing the area.
Ubogri clicks his tongue, but finds a solitary spot and does the same.
Then yeah, you all get a long rest. I'll randomly determine the night watch order.
(Since I'm only taking a short rest, I'll sleep the first hour and then keep watch.)

"Ah yes! rest is being good!"
When the rest is done, and since there were no volunteers, I take a gold coin and poke a hole in it with hammer and piton/iron spike. Then cast light on it.

You toss the ring into the fissure, and you hear once again the sound of moving stone and some mechanisms. But nothing happens.
Sorry it took me so long. It was a hard choice to determine if the coin would work or not. Nice idea btw.
"Argh, this is place making head hurt!"

I am paranoid about summoning a Glabrezu. So...

Did we rest? Also, the broken arm isn't there. Ubogri has it.
Yes, you did do a full rest.
Falmo will attempt to examine the mechanism around the door (just looking for how it works, maybe if it could be tricked or disabled): 17 or 17
He will also melt in the shadows as he's checking (you can never be too careful): 17 or 25
I just realized something ridiculous. Ubogri has Pass without Trace in a party with a rogue . . . I definitely need a +25 bonus to stealth, lol.
