No problemo

The druid tries to figure out the first item (56). This could perhaps be a potion bottle or a flask strapped to a number of tubes. The base of the bottle has a silvery lid with a knob in the center. The bottle flask is bound in black leather and silver. From the top of this, a broad metal band encircles a number of tubes. Out one end stick 3 large projecting tubes, while the other has but a single tube, with a small hole in its end. There is a fluted knob on the side with a line across its top. There are 2 markings above it - a small dot and big 0.
Ulster fiddles with it and then it discharges with a
ffft and he hears something hit the wall next to him. He looks to where he heard the noise and sees ten or so needles embedded in the wall. He turns back to the device but can't figure out how to make it do that again. (

He examines the other object (57). This looks like a glass bottle or retort with a pimpled or warty surface and a black handle on one side. Inside the bottle may be seen threads, wires, globes, and a rod. The broad end of the bottle has a rounded metal plate with several brass prongs sticking out of it The narrow end is capped with a silver sheath and golden ball. The black handle has a round panel, largerthan a coin, with a rivet in the center.
Ulster gets this one nearly immediately, perhaps because of its more "natural" shape. He determines that this
paralysis pistol is fired by squeezing the handle, pointing the broad end of the pistol toward the target. When fired there will be a humming noise and many flashing lights and sparks will go off inside. A small number of sparks will shoot from the golden ball at the narrow end, but the ray from the other end will be invisible. If the small button in the handle is pushed, the raised disc will pop open, revealing a spot for a power disc.
Meanwhile...
In the center of the room is what appears to be an altar. It is supported by a single metal column and 2 arms are bent towards the door. The wall opposite the door is made entirely of glass, although this is too dark to see through.
There are 3 skeletons sprawled near the altar.
