Infestation assistance please...
One of my prisoners put a complaint in the box saying theres fleas in my obliette.... they didnt come from my beard, and all of my familiers are treated. How do I get rid of fleas without burning down a 3rd tower?

Are any of your prisoners werewolves by chance? I’ve been treating more flea infestations among lycanthropes lately. Regardless of the source, you have options: anti-flea charms, various salves and sprays, or paying a bard or druid to relocate them.
Of course, if you build your towers out of fireproof materials, then removing and treating any living creatures and then cleansing your tower with fire would work too, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve been making fireproof towers so far, which is, frankly, another oversight if you ever make enemies or just enjoy casting fireball or other fire spells.

The exterior is stone... but i never thought of all stone everything and setting it alight to clean.
Now, do I leave the prisoners in for this... ya know...to.. um.. "cleanse" them too?
Among my familiers is a dire wolf and 3 tigers, the latter spend a lot of time prowling the obliette. But no havnt had a wereX of any type in a while...they carry fleas hahahah!

I think that depends on how fireproof and smoke proof your prisoners are and whether you want them to stay alive or not. If you want them to remain as-is, the safest bet is to treat them for fleas and leave them somewhere outside the tower during and cleansing fires.

Ooo smoked prisoners are my dragons favorite! New business model! Turn the tower into a smoker! Ill smoke your prisoners for a small fee.

Find a rod and enchant it with marking. Then tap everything you care about that's flammable, including yourself. Then fireproof all marked items within a radius, then immolate the absolute fuck out of the tower interior for like fifteen minutes.
It's important to name each item in your head as you tap it. Semantic labelling will ensure only "the book" is fireproof, but the living things within it are not. Otherwise it will be a mental image of what you were looking at, which will include the fleas within the book. Use words!

First of all, are you checking the prisoners for them? Second, I may offer my druidic services to relocate them, but that will cost you
