As its closest sibling had done, the third disk too skates into place with a low humming sensation that is felt through the floor rather than heard.
The moment it latches into place, there is a palpable shift in all three rotating sections of the floor. With Tony, Adrasteia, and Val scattered over top of them, the disks abruptly begin a patient descent down around the central column upon which the pedestal rests.
When the disks finally come to a halt, they have formed a series of large steps--something like a miniature inverse amphitheater with the pedestal column high at its center. And while it wouldn't be impossible to climb back up to the pedestal, the gap between it at the edge of the upper chamber's remaining floor would make for a daunting leap.
Luckily, a comparatively appealing route has opened before them. Located in the curving wall of this lower chamber is a distinctly bell-shaped doorway which leads onward into the darkness.
