Gina casts 'passwall' twice (once using my bonded magic weapon) to create a tunnel from our chamber to the chamber with the nice disks.
Gina then casts 'message' on everyone, then casts 'invisibility sphere' to hide everyone.
"Stay within 10' of me, and keep quiet. Lets go see whats in the other chamber."
Gina creates a new tunnel leading to the other chamber.
The walls and floor of this square chamber are fashioned from massive blocks of stone, and the room is laid out like a small shrine; across from the entrance stands a low table bearing a stack of reddish metal plates stacked in a loose pile. A luxurious carpet bearing geometric designs stretches across the middle of the room. In the rug’s center is a three-foot-high marble pedestal holding a dark polished stone sphere. Thassilonian script of inlaid gold encircles the sphere at its base.

Ezrek tells the other what he has heard in his head. "Ah, just touch me and repeat it. I can give you power. All I ask in return is that you vow to use the words of power to see Krune awaken. I promise dominion over planar creatures brought here to serve, all in exchange for a simply promise of fealty." "I fear some sort of curse or possession if it is touched. Any thoughts?" Ezrek will get out and slot his clear spindle into his wayfinder.

" The plates radiate a strong conjuration aura of magic, so it makes more sense for these to be the real plates we are looking for."
"I'm not sure if the sphere is magical and if it radiates enchantment magic..let me take a closer look. If it is linked to some other school of magic the chances that it will try to dominate us is less..and if it isn't magic then it might be possessed by some sort of spirit."
"I can cast a magic circle against evil, but that will only prevent us from being mind controlled if the sphere , or what is inside the sphere is evil."
Casting detect magic again and taking a closer look at the sphere.

"Big brother always tells me to gain power when I can."
Gina approaches the alter. She places her hand on the disks, and quietly says, "I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune."
You are instantly branded (random place and moves around every 1d4 days unless you have another magical tattoo) with a dark image of the Sihedron surrounded by arcane runes which seems to move, like water trapped beneath two panes of glass.
A character marked with the lesser version of this arcane tattoo receives a +2 profane bonus on attack and damage rolls against creatures brought to the Material Plane via a conjuration (summoning) effect, and gains a +2 profane bonus to AC against attacks from such creatures. Lesser versions of this mark exist, which grant +1 profane bonuses on attack and damage rolls and to AC against summoned creatures instead.
You will receive this boon for free on your chronicle sheet.

"Personally I do not think it wise to owe a debt to an enemy. Besides I already serve the lird of iron."

"Heh. I'll do it." He puts his hands on the disks and repeats the phrase: "I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune."
He steps back and looks around at the others.
"Won't be the worst mistake I've made. If it is a mistake."

"More power could be useful....of course swearing eternal devotion to something might be......bad. We will see."
Ceric will also place his hands on the sphere and say:"I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune."

Ezrek gets a look of astonishment on his face. "A tattoo? I've always thought of getting one of those!" He roll up his fight sleeve, exposing his arm. "I always thought of getting an alembic put right here. What do you think?" Ezrek will then move over an do the ritual, if Gina thinks it didn't turn her wicked. "I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune."
This dark image of the Sihedron surrounded by arcane runes seems to move, like water trapped beneath two panes of glass. When gained, the brand melds with the largest existing tattoo on your body (or the one with the highest caster level if you have other magical tattoos), otherwise it moves every 1d4 days to a randomly determined location elsewhere on your body.
A character marked with the lesser version of this arcane tattoo receives a +2 profane bonus on attack and damage rolls against creatures brought to the Material Plane via a conjuration (summoning) effect, and gains a +2 profane bonus to AC against attacks from such creatures. Lesser versions of this mark exist, which grant +1 profane bonuses on attack and damage rolls and to AC against summoned creatures instead.
The party is barely out of the hallway before the two sphinxes turn in your direction and snidely question, "Sneaking out, are we?" Their forms slowly begin to morph into serpentine creatures with the lower body of a snake, a humanoid torso, and a bird-like head and claws. "No, no, no, you won't be getting out that easily."
Gina hastes the party!
---
Glybweote casts a spell! "Not so fast, not so fast!"
Suddenly the invisibility effect is gone and the party is left in plain view!
Yggirimini casts a second spell on the party as she moves to block the exit. "Not leaving so soon are you?"
