Xymox: “Everyone freeze. I’d rather not join Sir Chadwick in his performance as ‘Doorframe Décor.’ Let me see what song these skulls sing before anyone else rushes headlong. This thing’s warded six ways to supper. We’ll need magic to mute it—or a door that doesn’t scream back. Wizard, warlock, either of you care to lend a spell? Dispel magic? Silence? My arcane knowledge is admittedly limited." Xymox shrugs, then looks at Chadwick with a bit of concern.
Kragen reacts reflexively upon seeing Chadwick clearly in distress, readying to bolt into the room. Then pauses when hearing both Xymox and Trolkarl respond to the current situation. Clears his head and then quickly assesses the best way to address Chadwick's condition without exposing others or himself to it.
Arcana check (observing Chadwick's reaction without knowledge of the affliction, potential spells that may address his visible symptoms. i.e. screaming silently in agony)
Kragen observes Chadwick and sees no obvious effects in progress.
Just to clarify this post, Kragen sees that Chadwick has recovered from his affliction, i.e. his actions seem back to normal (not in a ball on the floor writhing in pain?)?

Here is a suggestion:
- Get the niche door to the gems open again.
- Return all gems. (Hopefully, this will reset everything.)
- Take an emerald and use if for the "green room."
There is a very high probability that I'm not understanding the puzzle/process correctly. I'm very open to other suggestions.

I was fine with the approach Trolkarl suggested.
Make it so!

Chadwick is back to normal
Kragen calls into the room “sir Chadwick, do you need assistance?”
”should we attempt Trolkarls approach to addressing the trap on that door?”
Starker:”This is fascinating. Let me examine the door whilst not touching it. This will take a few minutes.”

Chadwick takes a knee, pulling out his holy symbol and saying a prayer to Tyr a word of thanks to Lady Caellia.
He shakes the water out of his hair and slicks it back before putting his helmet back on.
"That was thoroughly unpleasant. I will need to visit Lady Caellia when I return to offer my thanks in person."
He still seems a bit shaken.
"Can we tell if the ward has been dispelled, or could it strike again?"
Chadwick looks over the walls and see if he can detect any movement.
Perception: 9
