Falchion stands up and looks around at the troupe.

"Gentlemen. After studying these marking, and deep contemplation into the meaning they might have, and a bit of a detour down the contemplation of our existence, I have come to the conclusion we should appreciate birds more. Except pigeons. Fuck those flying rats! But yes, Birds. We should take time to appreciate them. With their beautiful plumage. You know, I completely overlooked how nice the word 'plumage' is. Say it a few times. 'Plumage.' 'PLUMAGE!' '"plumage.' Well, that's all I have. Oh. And we need some keys. So, unless any of you have any ideas, I am going to try using my new toy."

The warforged draws Palla Sa'salym from his left side, where his falchion normally is. He has strapped his falchion to his right hip... metal... thing...

Sano. I laughed so many times.

*looks at Falchion with a wide glance*
Okay....someone drank too much mead before this quest

*looks at podium*
I think that this thing requires a few keys.

Mithanos chuckles as the silly scarecrow seem to walk into a wall. "There's something here, Mr. Strawman!" he calls out. Looking at the podium, he  grins and starts messing around with it. He begins by moving the little green stone and placing it to the side, before running his finger along the smooth, shiny surface of the first ring in the podium. "There are some instructions... I think. They sound instructive... I guess... Listen."

"Trouble me not with your diamonds and pearls,
But leave to me the treasures of the natural world,
Earth, deep and strong, holds all that it keeps,
Fire so hot, yet burns not with its heat,
Wood from the forests, strong though they sway,
Water, the healer, takes all pains away

My storeroom aplenty with water ye'll know,
My tomb ye shall find ablaze and aglow,
My chambers in the third hall remains,
My treasury in its wealth the earth does contain,
My realm ye have come from, the wood here rests.

Secret is the way from here to the rest,
The rings hold the clue, the hallways, the rest,
Shift the room and the halls will remain,
Though the barriers against may very well change.

Hide from the sun
And dance with the moon,
Take a key with you,
but return it soon.

To enter my chambers, leave gems behind,
Bring not through my doorway these treasures divine,
My ways are secret, but here lies the path,
That which is first in my presence, in my past, is last."

Mithanos scratches his head before smiling. "It's a riddle! I love a good riddle! Okay, I got some stuff... Like Mr. Strawman said, we need keys. These rocks are the keys," he holds up the green rock. "If we put the right rock in the spot on the pedestal, it will activate some mecahnism that will affect the hallways. From what I can gather, if we put a rock into this small wheel up here, then turn it to where it faces a hallway, if it is the opposite of the gem hidden inside the hallway, something will happen and we'll be able to get into it. But, there's this part about hiding with the sun and dancing with the moon that I don't get. Any ideas?"

He places the green stone in the wheel and turns it so that it faces the hallway that matches the symbol that stands for 1.

So, what I'm guessing is that, each of these halls has a number, and the numbers match up with their opposites, if we ignore the one that doesn't have anything in it (the "chambers"). Of course, I could be wrong.
