2 of the handles start smoking.

OOC: do the wooden rods go into the ceiling...walls, or where ever they came from. or is there a rope that is holding them to the ceiling?
Omiran reaches into his pack and grabs one of his pints of oil. taking a moment to judge the distance, he throws the oil onto the ground underneath the blades. (Or would it be possible to hit one of the moving axes? are they moving slowly or rather fast?) once the oil bleeds across the floor. Omiran tells the bard to fire an arrow into the oil patch.
The pendullums are connected to the ceiling. They are moving very fast.

Ryoku looks to the spinning blades, fascinated.
"I thought axes were best for cutting wood and occasional hobgoblins, how intriguing that they should swing from the ceiling..."
She walks towards the first one, watching go back and forth, as if studying the timing of the swing of the blade...
"Well now, wasn't that enlightening?"
Kadion nods his head, seeing the idea possed by Ashkore and Omiran.
Kadion fires an arrow into the puddle of oil at the base of the swinging blades
The oil puddle burst into flames. Those closest to the blades soon feel the heat from the flames.

Can I see anything near the guard that could have triggered the trap?
No, you can't see any trigger or lever that would have set the pendullums off. There now is a heavy grey-ish black smoke coming from the fire. Ashkore starts coughing, and turns towards the party to get out of the thick smoke. Those looking closely enough, see both Liani and Ashkore's eyes are both irrated and red.
(Those who were standing near the blades & fire, make a fortitude save DC 15 or start coughing from the smoke)

* Fort save Kadion *
crap!
Kadion retches and heaves as his lungs burn and his eyes tear. "Crap, I wish I had thought this through better."
Ryoku steps back when the flames appear, still fascinated.
~fort save = 5+4= 9= the fail~
Ryoku starts coughing and blinking furiously, and removes a length of cloth from her clothing, wrapping it around her mouth and nose. She backs away slowly, as if she has seen something horrific occur.
"The fire doesn't seem to do us any good right now-probably best to put it out." says Fletcher.

Omiran moves up behind the bard and pulls the man away from the smoke, then grabs the woman and pulls her back as well. the warforged's lack of lungs keeping him from suffering the ill effects of the fire.
