When the flames start to coalesce at Kragen's feet while communicating with Starker, he immediately returns to silence. Looks about to see the floors reaction.
Starker, breathing as quietly as he can, slowly and quietly moves to left side, picks up candle, brings it to right side, lights right side candle with ‘flame’ from left side candle, watches for pendulum reaction, ready to dodge/shield.
Kragen stops speaking. The flames in the floor remain concentrated around him but do not increase. Starker moves to the left side of the mantle and grabs the left candle. The chain whips into life as he tries to lift the candle. It becomes a blur of action with the deadly plumb bob whirling about the room almost too fast to see. It strikes out at all of you. DEX saves to avoid being hit by everyone. Bonuses for Yartol, Trolkarl and Xymox for proximity to Chadwick. Chadwick, Xymox and Yartol are successful in their saves. They all take 7 HP piercing damage. The rest take 14 HP piercing damage. The chain and plumb bob continue to whip around the room.
Xymox will perch himself just inside the room on the nearest wall.

Chadwick will move up next to Yartol if he can, otherwise he holds his position.

Next action from everyone.
How is the chain attached to the ceiling?
Xymox exits the room and remains just outside, where he can see the chain, etc.
There is a ring set into the ceiling. The chain is attached to that with one of its links.
Trolkarl will dodge
And quickly points at the unintelligible words in Draconic, then shrugs and quickly raises his shield again.
