Kai was glad that the fighting was over yet seemed to be in his own mind as they continued forward. When Vetis calls his name, he is snapped to attention, then gives the tiefling a nod. He then proceeds to lights the braziers in the order Vetis had said; wyrm/dragon, vind/wind, fjell/mountain, dod/death, krig/war, and finally liv/life.

The door slams open. Inside, a chamber holds four large wooden chests with iron fittings and built-in locks. Hanging from a hook in the middle of the ceiling is a one-foot-diameter iron ring with four one-foot-long iron keys and a single, one-foot-long silver key dangling from it.
As Kai lights the braziers, the flames don't hold, and naturally wink out.
Vetis eyes the braziers, eyes narrowed as she considers her options. When Shrek slams the door open, she turns to look at the new room, eyeing the keys. "Hmmm." Her eyes flick across the lock on the gate to see if it seems like the silver key would fit in that lock.
Seeing that the objects matching the riddle/poem, Lucas brings it upon himself to fill in the need for blood, and will cut his palm to bleed into the Liv basin.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Most likely the arrow goes in the war brazier, the dead owl in the death brazier, the scale in the dragon brazier, and the stone in the mountain brazier. Judging from the writing outside, my best guess is that blood goes in the life brazier. Now what goes in the wind brazier? I request that you all give me a solid 10 minutes to think about it before going off and putting something in there randomly."

Percival puts the scale in the Wyrm basin, blows into the Wind basin, puts the stone in the Mountain basin, the dead owl in the Death basin, the arrow in the War basin, and has Lucas bleed into the Life basin.

The gate opens, and you can progress to the area past it. There, a large oak chest with silver fittings stands against the wall directly opposite the double doors.
Kaz bear will groan, pad over with the key in its mouth. Sit down on its hind quarters, placing the key between their paws and placing it inside the lock, before giving it a turn.

The silver key does not unlock the gate.

Shrek will grab the key ring and try the other keys on the chests. Haphazardly, without regard for checking for any traps.
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
As you approach with the key ring and make an attempt to unlock them, the chests pop open. Here is what is inside.
An elven arrow
A dead snowy owl, frozen stiff
A gleaming scale from a young white dragon
A fist-sized stone from Kelvin’s Cairn

Wyrm (Dragon). Makes sense
Vind (Wind). ???
Fjell (Mountain). Makes sense
Dod (Death). Makes sense
Krig (War). Makes sense
Liv (Life). CORRECT
Percival puts the scale in the Wyrm basin, blows into the Wind basin, puts the stone in the Mountain basin, the dead owl in the Death basin, the arrow in the War basin, and has Lucas bleed into the Life basin.

Lucas silently wraps his hand and follows the group in eyeballing the chest warily.
Sobek checks out the room, looking for traps or other suspicious things...
Investigation: 10
Shrek will circle around the big chest, looking for suspicious traps this time: 16

Inside the chest, in a wooden brace is a Horn of Blasting.
Outside the underground treasure vault, you can hear the bellowing talking of a woman. You can't make out what she's saying. Someone else is here.
Percival exits the vault to confront the woman.
