Largo grasps the oil flask, and then treads on Baraglin's face -- who goes "Oomph!" --as he reaches up to empty the contents into the lantern...

Glug, glug, glug... goes the oil as it flows out of the vessel.

"All I require now is a candle," declares Largo...

"Perhaps this will do?" asks Hepti, offering up the chortling torch he carries.

"Pray be quick about it," says Baraglin Banks, with Largo the Hobbit still standing awkwardly on his face.

Hepti passes the torch up to Baraglin, who passes it to Largo, who at last sets it to the oil, and then almost falls from his perch and tumbles to the ground as the beacon comes at last to a bright new lease of life!

Moria is lit anew! The yellow light of the beacon is strong and bright and drives back the dark of the passage all around. It is indeed a comfort to all present.

"Thanking you, master Dwarf," remarks Largo, and with a gracious bow returns the flaming torch to Hepti.

With the additional light, Norin bends down to examine the metal tracks to see if he can determine what their purpose was.

"Master Hobbit!" Eremin calls softly. "Would you be so good as to pass down my hook and rope, while you're up there?"

Lmluin returns his gaze to the Eastern passage.

He fits an arrow to his bow, lest the welcome light draw unwelcome attention...
