You move into the room. As Kahan suggested, the falling orb was one of the traps of Esylia. It is impossible to say when the orb was placed in its holding trough.
The orb itself is made of a hollowed out wooden shell (like a small coconut) with pieces that appear to have been glued or connected together by ridges. There is a central column that had been depressed, such that there is an indentation on one side and a bulge on the other. It is a lighter color than the rest of the 6 inch diameter orb. The wood shell itself appears to be bamboo or something similar.
You notice that the numbers on the transfinite repeater have stopped changing. (Remember that the 3rd and 4th numbers had been rotating.) They have stopped at the number: 48
8367825798. The rest of the numbers are the same as the previous transfinite repeater you noticed.
OOC: Please let me know how long you are hanging out or if you are on the move. I am tracking the movements of Esylia and want to keep the movements/timing straight.
You move into the room marked 21. There is a set of circular stairs going both up and down in the northwest corner, and a door in the south wall. An ancient bronze statue stands against the wall, its vacant eyes watching you enter the room. As soon as you enter, the bronze statue suddenly creaks to life, reaching out with its balled fists to begin attacking you!
