Doyal joins Nobody going down to the lower floor after watching Fargen's attempt at breaking the chandelier. Once he has joined the other on the lower floor Doyal walks over the shield covering the knight and gives it a nock listening for any sound.
"I believe Nobody is correct," Doyal comments looking from the arcane shield to the chandelier. "He must have done something to trigger the effect. I am unsure if it was originally meant to hold a prisoner or if it was meant to protect someone. By the looks of it the chain goes into the wall, but the question then becomes if it goes up or down."
Doyal strokes his chin thinking for a moment looking to the chain attached to the chandelier, "We may not need to go downstairs to fix this if we can break that chain. Do any of you have a way to heat the metal to make it more malleable if so, there is a good chance that the weight of the chandelier could then break the chain for us."
As you look down the stairs with your new 60ft darkvision mixed with the light Doyal as well as anyone who looks. you see a giant mural picturing a wizard dressed in red. Lightning flying up to the heavens from his body. With this very keep when it was whole in the background with a bruised sky. Words are written in an unknown language in a caption in large letters on the bottom.
There is a giant hole not far from the stairs and as you look you figure out the sound thats been occurring. A huge sphere rolls down 8 slot and into the hole. (think the first Indiana Jones movie)
And the Numbers are painted in yellow and are in dwarven.
ooc: If you end up in the slot the ball is rolling down you get a DC11 dex check as a reaction or take 3d8 bludgeon damage. Your currant init is again in effect.
(To Stormbringer: Don't think Nobody had a piton. But even if he had for some reason, its not a very wizardly solution. ;) )
"Anyone understands those writings over there?" He asked but almost just as quickly gives up on any positive answers seeing the blank look in the others. "Right then. Uhm.... I have a spell that might help with translation, but it'd take me at least ten minutes or so to cast it. And then, I'd have to get close enough to touch it. So, if that's alright, I'll hang back and get started on it." Nobody waits for at least one answer from the others for the go ahead before doubling back up the stairs just a short distance.
From there he got comfortable and would begin reciting passages from his spellbook held in one hand while the other traced some glowing symbols int he air. Until the spell is complete Nobody leaves everything else to the others discretion.
Fargen speaks up, "Surely with Moradin's guidance you'll be fine Nobody." Fargen waits for Nobody to complete his ritual and touches his shoulder to transmit the divination magic.
(To Stormbringer: he'll still go through the process of casting it all the same. But is the edge of the writing at least within reach, and is the giant hole flush with the wall?)

Doyal holds out his arm to stop anyone from entering the room then using his keen Eye for Detail scans the room looking for any sighs of recent blood, what paths have been used the most recently, or even what could trigger the apparatus.
"I for one cannot read the text,"Doyal answers as he examines the room. "We need to be careful I am not quite sure yet what activates this yet, we don't want to take a wrong step and end up either in that hole or flattened."
With a glance, you can't see the other end of the room. Are you staying on the stairs Doyal? If you enter tell me which track you follow or stand in front of while examining.
Doyal clicks his tongue, "I cannot tell what is triggering this whole mechanism. I am going to test something wait here just in case this does not work."
Doyal moves into the room and goes to the fifth track where the stone ball just rolled from hoping the next stone won't fall into the same track.

Thufir waits behind Doyal off of all the of the tracks as his companion looks around the room trying to figure out what is causing the balls to roll.
