The trap door is in the ceiling. There are windows on the north and south walls , but the door would be easier. It's likely the creaking wouldn't be an issue—it's so common as to be background noise.

Poog grins and pulls out "The Boomstick".
So you say we kill it with fire? Poog like.
Once everyone is ready, Chuffy stealthily opens the door...
...and then tosses in the necklace.
Moggy definitely gets a bomb off at the ogre!

Of course Poog contributes to the most holy burnination!
Reta's arrow strikes true, and is the signal for everyone else to join. The conflagration is beautiful to behold. It's difficult not to dance with joy as fire, unable to be contained by the room, blows open the trapdoor in the ceiling and shoots into the sky.
Just before the blast, with the door fully open you were able to see a cage with a very dead wolverine, and very badly made taxidermic dire corby, and other disgusting trash. As the blast hits, everything is engulfed in flame. The spear leaning against the wall is pushed back toward you by the force of the blast.
Needless to say, most everything in the room is destroyed. The charred, pierced, blasted body of Pa Munchmeat is testament to that.
The bomb and the flaming arrow, aided by the fireball help things catch fire, and the walls in the corner by the bed dance with flame.
Several things happen at once. Carrion birds shriek from the ceiling above. Screams and cries erupt from the level beneath you. Rising above the din from somewhere below, there is screeching, much too big and fierce to be a normal owl.
It is beautiful, chaotic pandemonium.
Moggy starts dancing around, cackling loudly. When he finally gets his composure all he manages to say is, "Fire am great!"
Chuffy sniggers.
"Yeah - we make *everything* go boom!"
"THAT NOT SO BAD."
Your excitement is compounded when the damage from the blast causes the shoddily built floor to cave in to the room underneath as well. Little fires continue, and the now revealed room below threatens to catch fire as well.
As you look up, the ceiling isn't in too great of condition either, and threatens to fall soon.
Amid the carnage of the gaping hole, you realize the fireballs spread through the slats in the crude floor to the level below, burning a giant ferret as well. The floor landing on top of it certainly did little to improve the ferret's condition, as it lays black and motionless on the charred floor below.
The floor of the filthy chamber below you is made of rough floorboards. Numerous gaps between them show a dark space below the building. A large pile of furs and straw (now burning) is heaped to the south, and a huge trap door sits in the very center of the room. To the west, a single ill-fitting door hangs askew on a single hinge.
Poog will dance in a circle, waving his Boomstick in the air, and chant Fire! Fire! until (and probably after) something dangerous shows up.
From the basement, you hear smashing and banging. The southern door Chuffy glued bursts apart, and a scared owlbear emerges screeching in horror at the flame. You see it slightly slightly singed along the top side of its feathers and fur.
it screeches.
Reta shouts to Chuffy: "QUICK, THROW THE OTHER NECKLACE OF FIRESPHERES!"
She takes aim and fires at the owlbear.
Moggy takes a 5' step back, and throws his last fire bomb of the day at the owl bear.

Bwahahaha and a Boom for you too!
Poog fireballs the Owlbear on his way around.
Chuffy fires a crossbow bolt at the owlbear.
Reta's flaming arrow strikes deep, ripping into fur. Even accounting for cover and range, Mogmurch's bomb connects with a loud bang. Poog's fireball connects as well, although the owlbear was able to avoid the worst of the damage, partially hidden by the corner. Chuffy's tries too, but his arrow bounces off its thick hide.
Between second fireball and the bomb, the south wall is weakened, and begins to fall away. Given more oxygen, the fire spreads further into the first floor room.
An ugly, wretched creature, part ogre and part unknown races to the door. She tries to yank it open, and screams in frustration as it's stuck fast. Looking up through the hole you've created in the floor, she sees your goblin faces and screams,
The owlbear steps closer, and swings at the nearest goblin, missing.
Chuffy snarks at the ogrekin girl.
"Burn, baby, burn!"
He then flips her the bird, and, stepping back, takes a shot at the owlbear (which he considers to be more of a threat).
"EAT FLAMING DEATH!" *giggle*
Moggy throws his last vial of alchemist's fire, assuming the owl ear is still standing. If not, he delays until he can get a better target on the ogre.

Chuffy and Reta both hit, and the olwbear screams in frustration. Already damaged from your earlier inferno, it has little health left. Moggy completes the massacre wit his alchemist's fire, taking great care to ensure the house gets hit with as much splash damage as possible.
HAHA we gods of fire and boom now! We can't die.
Poog continues to laugh like a lunatic and fires off his last fireball at the ogrekin.
Poog's fireball explodes wreaking even more havoc on the room, and causing the fire to spread further, blocking the new hole in the wall. Guffy (for that's the ogrekin's name) screams in pain at the burning, but somehow dodges the worst of the blast. "You killed Pa, you killed Spike. You be awful goblins!" She hustles to the trapdoor in the floor, opens it, and climbs down to ground level where you lose sight of her.
A feral dog comes up to the house, barking ferociously at the goblins.
Chuffy shrugs.
"What be her problem? We only want to make everything go BOOM!"
He then nods in the direction of the dog.
"Reta? You wanna kill it? Chuffy know you hate dogs..."
So saying, he fires a bolt at the dog.
Moggy has a surprise for the dog. He pulls that gourd that the big pig was chewing on and takes a big bite out of it.
Moggy readies an action, to blast the dog with fiery breath once it closes to melee range.
"BAD DOG!"
Poog waves his Boomstick at the dog.
And you too doggie, fire!
When the wand doesn't work he shoots a firebolt instead.
The poor rabid dog suffers the same fate as every other creature you've thus far encountered. It burns and burns (much like a hemorrhoid), and quickly dies.
From below you, you hear a loud , and the entire structure shudders.
Chuffy cheers when the dog goes down, but staggers when the structure shakes, his eyes growing as wide as saucers.
"Maybe it time to go, now?"
Reta stows the bow and draws her dogslicer as she abandons deck!
With a nod, Chuffy follows Reta down...
...and despite landing awkwardly, he jumps back up to his feet with surprising speed.
Moggy pulls his potion of Levitate and chugs it down, hopping over the side afterwards.
Poog jumps as well.
Reta grunts twice as both Chuffy and then a moment later Poog land upon her back.
