This annoying issue persists since at least Patch 7, maybe in earlier Patches. As far as I remember, TB doesn't help at all. Only at the very beginning, so you can quickly cast Destroy Water with a Cleric or Druid, right before the first fire explsion covers the space around the first door with fire in the room with the guy, and then very fast run out of the rooms downstairs into the open. But you really need several attempts and have to skip the dialogue with the guy trapped on the ground, as OP stated. So that's really very poorly implemented.
