With the heart of the Stolen Lands explored and the bandits who ruled there scattered, the long-contested realm finally lies open for pioneers and settlers to stake their claims.:
Amid the rush of opportunistic travelers, the PCs find themselves stewards over a new domain, tasked with the responsibility of guiding and guarding a fledgling nation struggling to grow upon a treacherous borderland. Yet the threats to this new nation quickly prove themselves greater than mere bandits and wild beasts, as the monstrous natives of the hills and forests rampage forth to slaughter all who have trespassed upon their territory. Can the PCs hold the land they’ve fought so hard to explore and tame? Or will their legend be just one more lost to the fangs of the Stolen Lands?

Mainly asking about burning hands and produce flame. My two main offensive tricks.

Numalar takes a couple steps back, waves his little symbol around in the air for a moment, and shouts:
"ghargh je HuH!"
Draconic:
"Serpent's Bile!"
A small blob of clear liquid shoots towards the rats, and splashes with a hiss.
Moving 10 back then casting acid splash at the rat swarm.

If you took 5' step, a free action to drop the sword, and a move action to draw weapons, you should still have a standard action left in which to attack. However, the rats will attack before you do.

Don't worry; Numalar moves before you and will be long out of the way when that lands. In fact, you might want to wait to see where the rats end up before throwing, since they move before you do; you might hit yourself if they move onto your square.

Ooh! Good point!
Scarlet squishes the rats with glee. "Rats, we meet again, haha!" Scarlet's skin turns bright red as she enters her bloodrage.

Apologies, when i tried posting yesterday, I got board goblins...refreshed a few times over the day, but always got the goblins. Today, realized I refreshed the "nostore"-page -_-
Alia will follow suit with Zokon's lead, and retrieve+throw a vial of Acid in the middle of the rats(lower left field) while keeping her mouth clenched shut(and wishing she could do the same with her nose).
Attack Space/Intersection DC5 was it?:1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 2 = 9(sickened)
Damage:1d6 ⇒ 6 +50% => 9 acid damage
Following that, she will attempt to step forward towards Scarlet(dunno if diagonal 5-foot step with corner was possible...otherwise I stay put...did not move in map yet.)
I do act before Celyne, right? That means if her action turns the sewer into a flaming inferno, I'll need to get away next round...
Numalar adds to the chemical contamination of the area by firing off an acid glob.
Zokon stows his sword and comes up with a vial of acid.
Alia noting the risk in Celyne's action tosses her vial of acid at a point centered withing the swarm (an intersection for the DC 5) and hits (deal a point of splash damage to each square of the swarm +50% for 6 points of damage).
Unfortunately she did not see Posh pulling his alchemical fire. Posh lets the volatile weapon fly in a high, lazy arc that splashes down on to the mass of rats with great effect and they seem ready to scatter.
Then there's is a noise like the thunderous, inhalation of wind a dragon might take before spewing forth its ruinous breath weapon. It sucks the fetid air out of your lungs. Then, not a moment later, the tunnel's light magnifies a hundred fold and every manhole cover within two blocks lifts about three inches from its lip.
Started, Luna leaps back from the entrance, and then whines morosely down the hole.
At this moment, Scarlet still has here sword in hand and Celyne has yet to retrieve her own alchemist's fire.
lots of dice falling:
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 4) = 13
Reflex saves please DC 14. Zokon gets a +2 circumstance modifier.
Pass Save:
Take 6 points of fire damage.
Fail Save:
Take 13 points of fire damage.
The rats? What happened to the rats? Posh kills the rats, if they even existed in first place.
End combat.
The poisonous air has cleared significantly (not that you can smell things now) and you may use fire-based magic and items without fear, at least in the very, immediate area.

Numalar's eyes go wide as he sees the flash of sewer gas bursting into flame. It roars over him as he dives for the stone to try to cover his face and chest.
Reflex:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Whew! Just!
The fire and heat washes over him, knocking him to the stone, unconscious, but it looks like he avoided the worst of it.
CON check to stabilize, DC 10:1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 1 - 3 = 13
Numalar is now at -3 HP, but stabilizes on his next round.
Having stood close to the rats when the flame weapon landed, all Alia could manage was shouting "NOOOOoooo" before being gripped by the explosive fiery force.
When her burned body comes to rest, she is unconscious and bleeding. And awaiting cybernetic reconstruction with an armored exoskeleton including a respiration system+helmet and a impressive cloak. Also want a scroll of Bigby's Suffocating Hand...
Reflex DC 14:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Constitution DC 10:1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 4 = 6 not stabilized.

Scarlet prepares to escape and switch weapons (oh, and bloodrage too) when she sees Posh pull out a flask of Alchemist's Fire. She grins as he prepares to hurl it,
Int:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 "Wait, don't use the fire-"
Relfex Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Scarlet is knocked silly by the blast. Unsurprisingly, since she's at point blank range. Luckily her heritage kicks in and her body turns bright red to absorb some of the blast.
13 Fire Damage - 5 Fire Resist = 8 Damage total. Scarlet is at 0 HP.
"Don't use fire here...the gas." Scarlet drops to one knee. "We did buy that wand, right?"
I have a flavorful question though. After that, am I really "bleeding out", or rather "burnifying to death"? Flavorwise the later would seem more fitting. -_- Also, Scarlet so far is the only one left standing :) So Posh will not manage a clean wipe/TPK, at least ;)

You are probably smoldering, though one could make a very good case for the concussive blast and potential internal bleeding compounded by "rat shrapnel" and a lot of external bleeding as well. No, it won't be a clean TPK.

Thank goodness Zokon is alive. One of you casters needs to use that wand! While this isn't a clean TPK, Scarlet's gonna have one heck of an adventure at 0 HP.
Sewer Explosion Massacre...who will survive? And what will be left of them? I second the happyness on Zokon being alive. It's on his spell list so yay. Question is: Who took the wand anyway? Because classically, we could be lucky if it's on Zokon already(my group always gave the wands to secondary healers unless the primary had some way to buff the wands healing)
I also thought he was a Ranger subconsciously. Aye, Posh could. And Celyne, need to have it on spell list, otherwise its a UMD check, for which we don't exactly have the time.
Stabilize DC 10:1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 1 - 5 = 15 Next round i'm stable, too, yet still unconscious.

I didn't think we bought the wand, but some of us have healing potions. Numalar and Posh both have CL1 potions and Zokon should have a CL3 one. You can pour a potion down an unconscious person's throat.
Also, heal skill can be used untrained. It's DC 15 to stabilize someone.
Posh hasn't made his save yet so he may or may not be up.
Just as a summary: There's 3 of us up and moving: Posh, Zokon, and Scarlet(of whom Scarlet is staggered). There's also 3 of us NOT moving: Numalar, Alia, and Celyne(of whom Celyne is not stabilized yet). Just in case each of those still active wants to go check on someone who is down and out.
Also, we should remember this stunt for some later time when we have communcal protection from energy. Surely could come in handy.

Numalar is down, but if conscious would tell Zokon to pour his healing potion down Celyne's throat. Even if Celyne uses up all her spell slots on healing we will likely still be down a fair bit; collectively we have taken 64 points of damage as a party. We will probably have to use all our potions today. We can buy more later.

Now Zokon goes looking for a cure potion to see if he can help Celyne.
You should have one on you, one of the CL3 ones that Oleg gave us after the first encounter (you got one according to the loot page) unless you have used it already. I think Fronar ended up with the other one. Edit: actually it was Cyrielle that got the other one.
Nope, not with you :) Guess Alia subconsciously refuses to swallow anything in this environment...my subelven mind remembers the green soup she had to jump over a moment ago...
Celyne wakes up with a start, sputtering... "Oh my... What WAS that?" She brushes herself off and looks around at all the wounded... "I'm afraid I can't heal everyone, but Alia looks pretty bad, and I DO have one cure spell."
clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
everyone should be conscious now... who looks REALLY bad? I have 3 more spells for the day.
