The man in robes appears to be okay, just unconscious. He can be woken or you can let him sleep for a bit.
Searching the rest of the cavern, you find a bone scroll case. Within it are two scrolls, one sealed and one not. There is also an oblong box.
The open scroll is a letter to a wizard by the name of Tenser, signed by his friend Aman Al-Raqib. It mentions that, at long last, his research into the past has unraveled the mystery of Martek, who died 10 centuries or more ago. It says that his prophecy has merit, and, if the land is to be spared the devastation that awaits it, a party of heroes needs to be sent out very soon to recover the Sphere of Power.
Drethen finds five gold cubes in the box. Each one appears to be branded with a magical symbol. It's easy enough for Ardo to identify the symbols. The symbols are for air, earth, fire, water, and ice.
The cubes feel as though they are alive, as they are warm and pulsing.
Ardo places his shield and mace on the ground and then gently shakes the man awake. "Good sir, do you speak common? Do you need any help?" Once the man becomes alert Adro retrieves his mace and shield.
"Shouldn't we wait to so that the man arises and we speak with him before taking anything, since it appears that he might still be alive." Gabriel will ask softly, frowning a bit as he speaks to Drethen and notices his actions with the box.

Ardo wakes the man and he groggily opens his eyes and screams. After a moment, he calms down and says, "Watch out! There are trolls here!" Then, as he takes in the scene, he says, "Who are you?!? Did you kill all of the trolls? They attacked my party and tore through them like they were nothing!"
