There is a set of leather pants, boots and armors in the chest, exactly matching the number of members in your group. And you better save the game before walking on the red tiles and entering the room with the golem, there's namely a way to get the salamander stone AND the asthenil sword.
When you get the sword from the golem give it to one of the party members who has the highest exp, then split him from the party and let him walk back to the chest. After that change back to the rest of the party and get the salamander stone, the golem still asks for exchanging it for a deposit but nothing is taken from you (if not counting the stone medallion as the deposit that you already gave away anyway). Sometimes it still can happen that your party dies on the way back to the chest after that, so that's why you should have a savegame before entering the room with golem.
