Starker:”Colleagues, Around the left nostril are runes of the type that will trigger an effect when a condition is met. I think that condition might be the insertion of a gem. The effect, well … it will be interesting to observe, I hope.”
Starker calls out to you and the freezing fog erupts from the floor around him. He seems to weather the storm well taking 10 cold damage. Unlike Kragen, his lips and nostrils are not coated in ice crystals.
Cyrus screeches and points at Starker when this happens.
Starker turns around and puts his finger to his lips, walks back as quielty as he can, holding his breath open exiting room, says:
”The runes about the nostril also mention a ritual about cold and silence. After I spoke and was so chillingly chastised the ice ropes’ motions’ sensitivity to sound seemed to increase, even to the extent it was responding to the soft susurration of my spiration. Back in the room with the floor fire flails there did also seem a relation between sound and fury that signified … something.
”Perhaps the answer lies in part in the use of Silence? I myself do not know a spell of that type. Thoughts, colleagues?”
“Hmmm, what exactly did the tunes reference specifically? I was relatively silent, or at least did not speak, while approaching the skull. However the effects of the room seemed to intensify after I crossed 30’ of distance.”
”I can call Tyrs divine power to silence an area however feel we should have a little more context to support that hypothesis before we do?”
Starker:”These runes do not seem to form a coherent narrative nor communicate a message. Their constellation serves more to anchor a magical or mystic set of effects. Sometimes something can be gleaned from their individual orientations and spatial relationships, thus my deducing a relationship between silence and cold from the proximity of the related individual runes.”

Xymox: "I can cast Comprehend languages, if that would help."
Starker:”That is a wonderful ability! It must bring you enormous pleasure to be able to glean meaning from otherwise incomprehensible marks and sounds. How I envy you! If you can do so without preventing future-Xymox from doing it in the mausoleum then by all means, if we can figure out a way to get you near enough without your turning into a drowsicle.
”The runes indicated a ritual between silence and cold, not a spell, I think, but perhaps my neurons are too frozen to fire. I do not know how to proceed.”

<places ruby in left nostril>
We don’t need interesting effects. We need this whole damn place destroyed.
We are going to need more details on what you think this might trigger.
