Starker waves arms to get everyone’s attention, puts finger to lips, then covers mouth with both hands and stands very still. Cyrus takes ‘speak no evil’ pose also.
Kragen walks down the wall towards the fireplace and the mantle. He examines the flames in the hearth. They seem odd in color and function but give off heat. Chadwick hangs in the air, slowly swinging about on the chain about 10' above the floor. Yartol keeps one hand on the end of the chain and stands still, looking about. Trolkarl begins to speak but reads the room and stops, standing still. Xymox edges into the room quietly. Starker and Cyrus stand pantomiming with a hand covering their mouths.
All is still. The flame whips retract into the floor. The congregated ropey flames in the floor under Chadwick, Trolkarl and in front of the door with Xymox and Starker all diminish.
<Starker points out writing and writes a translation into common in his notebook, and quietly walks over and shows everyone who doesn’t read draconic:
“Cool the flame, still the blade, silence the lies — and truth is weighed.”
Then underlines and checks the first two phrases, and underlines the third and puts a check with a questionmark over it. Circles the fourth and shrugs.>
Kragen looks at Starker and nods, then gestures that he would like to write in the book.

then points to the fireplace.
Seeing Kragen writing and pointing, Trolkarl nods. Opens his hand to request the quill. If given the pen he draws an arrow to the word douse and writes: Room that seems to turn moisture of the air solid-only a few steps down the hall if we add noise
Starker, Kragen and Trolkarl are busily scribbling in Starker’s spell book. Chadwick clings to the chain, 10’ up. Xymox quietly moves to stand beside Yartol. Both watch them proceed to pass the book between themselves for a bit then look at each other. Chadwick descends as quietly as he can to the floor. The three of them then gently turn the shoulders of the scribes to face them towards the now flameless fireplace. The hearth is completely empty.
Starker examines the hearth. It seems the rear panel is likely a door.

Starker goes over to fireplace and observes. Is there any fuel? Any tools? Anything that looks like it might be used to smother?

Yartol picks up the plumb bob from the floor and wipes your blood from it, placing it in his pack.
