"Well, that is not very informative" says Rhuul as he translates for everyone.
"Anyone want to try and get one of those stones?"

"I can try and pick them both if you want..."

"Fate has already got you... Or maybe it is Valais that has you..." grins Rhuul back at the captive demon.
I do hope she can keep it in check though.

Oloch enters the room and approaches to the stone to grab it.

Kuraishimo watches the brave Oloch head forward, glad to have somebody else tortured by the room this time.

A shadow duplicate of Oloch forms on the other side of the room. This "shadowy oloch" is almost feral in its aggression, and looks ready to attack.

Rhuul, staying outside the room, starts to cheer Oloch on.
"He's just a shadow of your glory Oloch. Better show him the light eh?"
Inspire courage and flag bearer +3 to hit and damage[
"I'd suggest the rest of us remain outside the room." he adds.

"Some shadow tricks won't scare me!"
Oloch takes the shard 1st, if nothing hapens he takes the dark stone.
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
There are two shards, Oloch. One is dark, the other glows.
Which one do you go for first?

The shadow approaches at the shard too, its weapon ready to strike.

Oloch takes the shard being ready to defend himself in case of shadow's attack
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
Oloch takes the shard, and the shadow does not attack.

Ha!
Oloch comes to his companions, gives the shard to someone (Rhuul for example)
"The shadow itself fears the mighty Oloch!"
He returns to the room and takes the shadow shard.

Oloch pulls with all his might, but the dark stone won't come out of its mount.

"Shall we try to insert the shard you retrieved and let the other one go? If it doesn't work we can put it back and attempt to take both at the same time." proposes the elf.

"Aye...I guess it be my turn to risk me beard..."
He arranges his flag in one hand and the stone in the other, and then waits for the rest of the team to get arrayed next to the doorway. Only once everyone is ready does he insert the stone.

"Agreed with you, Aetherys, let's proceed on our mission and return for this one later."
He follows her to the doors
Right before Rhuul inserting the 2 stones, Oloch prays to Gorum. cast Magic Circle against Evil, Bless, Shield of Faith and Bull's Strength, Communal Resist Energy (fire) and finally Guidance

The arcanist also prepares himself. Standing back to not be hit and killed this time he prepares to enhance his blade if any faceeater appears.

CLICK!
As soon as you fill the sockets, a portion of the tree carving opens to reveal a 4-inch-wide opening, 20 inches deep. At the back of the opening is a handle.

Aetherys uses another scroll to conjure an unseen servant to open the door after the party has retreated a bit.
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
:-)
I can sense a pattern here.
The unseen servant opens the door. As soon as it does, a blade springs cutting the air. If your hands had been there, you would have lost it.
And lost it properly. I will write a long update later this evening. Stay sharp, final scene.
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
Scorched earth and burned grass cover this round chamber’s floor. In the center of the room stands a tall tree, its blackened bark seeping blood-red sap and its branches twisted and thorny. Glowing silvery runes circle the base of the tree. At the base of the tree lays a lithe, bronze-skinned man missing his left arm, a puddle of blood pooled beneath him. His right hand lies just inside the circle, and a single word is scratched in the dirt near his fingertips.
The ceiling of this room rises in a dome to a height of 25 feet. The glowing runes fill the room with dim light.
Guys I need you to place yourselves in the map. It would be very kind.

"Well... here is the bleeding tree you dreamt of..."
The dwarf thinks back to the mission notes. "Could this be Laktharis? It demanded obedience, which seems to have been one of the themes..."
Then he notes the bleeding man. "Looks like he took a different way to open the door."

The bronze skinned man on the floor is an azata, Rhuul.

Mighty Oloch comes to the man not entering the circle and examines him
Heal, Guidance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
After a short pray to Gorum Guidance Oloch pokes him with his wand of CLW till he is OK.
wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 dunno how many charges i need yet
He then looks at the scratched in the dirt word. What does it say?

"He is an Azata, a holy outsider..." says Rhuul.
"Perhaps he knows of this god, or maybe he was one of the many creatures worshipped by these people as gods... but that blood looks fresh..."

"You took one for the team. Thank you Jeeves for your sacrifice. Rest in peace. " she prays aloud to commend the soul of her slain unseen servant to Sarenrae.

Kuraishimo stays just outside the door for now, peeking in.

Valais goes inside the room, weapon in hand, scanning the scene.
Oloch uses his wand three times and sees the wounds of the azata heal. The eyes of the creature open, cackled with blood. He is injured and has lost a lot of blood and is too weak.
Sense Motive Oloch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
The azata wrote the word "GREETAK" on the dirt.

Rhuul steps forward and heals the Azata some more
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
And then puzzles over the word GREETAK
linguistics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
I misspelled the word. FFS. It is GRETAAK.
Rhuul Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Rhuul Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
You have no clue what that word might mean or be. It does not belong to any language you've heard or read.

Kuraishimo looks to Vallis for answers as he mumbles out loud...

Having done what he can, Rhuul starts to inspect the room, trying to see what other magical auras there may be around.

"Valais, please do what you have to do, then let's get out of this hell-hole and save this poor Azata." requests the elf.
Male Once Human Rugby Prop Lvl 12 / Wargamer 3
Valais looks everywhere.
"I have a famILIAR SENSATION."
The azata sleeps now by Olochs side.
You hear a voice coming from the high ceiling.
“Mortals, bow before the sacred heartwood tree. Touch the bark and utter the sacred incantation written in the dirt. Then retrieve my staff, leave the circle, and present it before me. Only then can I take corporeal form.”
Aetherys moves towards the tree, bypasses the guard and picks it.
Sorry Aeth, it's a script thing!
At the same time, a demon appears close to the ceiling, its finger aims at Valais. One of his arms has been replaced with a pincer.
"You! You belong to me!You are one of the abominations. Has the one-eyed surgeon tracked me here? Are you his slaves? I will destroy him and all of his pawns, for I have advanced beyond the simple machinations of his lab! I am as far beyond demons as they are beyond you."

I'm not quite sure where the demon is on the map, so if its not targetable from here I'll cast haste instead.

Kurai, he is targetable:
"The ceiling of this room rises in a dome to a height of 25 feet."
"...a demon appears close to the ceiling, its finger aims at Valais. One of his ..."
The snowball hits the demon in the chest. The demon looks at you, then at the snow, then scoffs and shakes the snow off.
"One would think people learn the lesson..."
