I don't know. How else can we get the arm to work? Someone can hold it in place maybe? That seems unwise, but it might work. Its totally the job of a meat shield to hold up the arm though, and not a delicate wizard with a kickin' goatee.
But then we've only got 3 gems and not 4, so whats the point? Unless the sacrifical belt can take the place of the 4th gem? Worth a try I suppose.

Unless someone else has an ability/power I don't know of, I think we are out of options here. At least I'm clueless to another option other than start crawling through the hole. So I guess this is my vote to continue down the tiny passage that will probably crush us to death.

Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

Not sure if I'm misreading your musings here, but the 4th hand has no gem niche so you do have enough for a repeat offering if so desired.
Oh. I thought the 4th hand needed a gem too. OK, so lets try this then: One of our hearty party members holds up the broken arm in place and we try the gem trick again.
If that doesn't work, then its to the hole!

OK, these colour theory puzzles are bugging and I might need a hint or two. Are we supposed to match the colours on the statues to the colours on the portal? What two colours make up "olive green" or "russet brown"?
Welcome PepiPopa to the slowest moving game on the internet!
You followed the death vision that the orb had sent you (see opening post in game thread) but when you entered the archway at the end of the corridor it sent you here rather than to the gargoyle room. Don't read too much into this re: how the dungeon works, I just made it up because I realised I had collapsed the only known link back to the entrance.
Steelhawk, if things don't make much sense riddle-wise I'd just forget trying to understand the workings of Gygax's twisted brain and plough on through other means. I have the full published adventure in front of me I still have no idea what half the puzzles are on about!

OK, so scary statue, one broken hand, one open hand.
Could it be the Tormentor? Maybe, but nothing seems to suggest that openly.
This line has me more concerned:
"trembling hands"
But, I think the best approach is to put the magic item in it's hand, and see what happens.
Derek selfishly needs all of his magiks. So Fondor, if you're still up for sacrificing your item, then go for it.

Adventure as written that would require 9 gems. Adventure as written I can see no more gems in the tomb.

Is Kamikaze Communist still playing?
So, Jam, what is there to see?

Derek will go in the middle.
We still got the whole party around and paying attention still?

Or am I missing the point entirely?

1) Is the portal "on" right now?
2) Is the wall with the silver sphere a false wall with a passage behind it?
The painted sphere itself is an illusion so there's a circular hole in the wall behind it.
Good times.
Anyone still here?

I'll throw together a map soon, maybe. That'll inspire some life!
