Yak Skin Bunting (ceiling of The Raven)

Flammable decorative bunting made from yak skin drapes the ceiling of The Raven tavern. During the brawl/interrogation the material is ignited (accounts vary on the exact ignition source), the fire races along the bunting and spreads across the ceiling, turning the tavern into an inferno while Marion, Belzig, Indy, the Second Nazi, and a henchman scramble below.
