Aeron's detect magic spell reveals that the entire chamber radiates magic, with certain items radiating a more power dweomer. The altar, the bronze square, and the braziers seem to be the strongest, with the exception of the massive, rune-etched doors to the north.
Deren hears nothing from behind the doors to the east. Merrick follows after the halfling, ready to lead the way from the chamber.
Zirat sees nothing in the pit, besides the large bronze cube, of course. The mist collects thickly in the pit, so if something does lie below, it is obscured by the fog.
Ciaran moves toward the altar, and is almost there when you all hear the thump of the trolls beating against the secret door.
