All right, you rest up a turn and Si'Nat opens the door...
When the door opens you see a man chanting in an unknown language.  He's standing inside a blood red circle, around which strange symbols have been painted.  The man has long black hair and is wearing red robes.  Hanging from his belt is a mace, and a red eye has been painted in the center of his forehead.  Inside the circle, in front of the man, is a strange looking sword.  It appears to be made of ruby and is resting on a plush black velvet cushion.  As the man continues to chant, the sword begins to pulse with a crimson light.
You're not surprised because Rondo heard his chanting... and he is!  Surprised, that is...
