Greetings all
Ok I know this must be out there some where, But can a single vial of alchemist fire melt a 10x10x15ft section of Snow? or would the fire go out after 10x10x10
My Group has been Tasked with clearing the 15ft deep snow away from the Town wall (with out damaging the Wall) and is Planing to Lay out vials of Alchemist Fire 10ft apart to clear a section (using Air elementals to act as snowblowers near the wall first)before an attacking Giant band arrives (note we do not currently know what types of Giants just that they are Giants)
Thanks

a. Probably the wrong forum
b. What are the hit points/inch of snow? Is it vulnerable to fire? I might suggest about 1/10 those of ice for the first part, and yes to the second. Thus each point of fire damage melts (1/2 x 1/3 x 10 x 1.5), or 2.5 inches thickness of snow. Alchemist's fire does full damage to one 5' x 5' square and I wouldn't count splash damage for any significant effect. Snow doesn't catch fire.
c. Multiple townsfolk with shovels would be a lot cheaper and probably more effective.
Yeah... Pay someone 1 sp per day to shovel snow. You can hire 100 people for the price of one alchemist's fire.
Ok the villager part is happening along with the Elementals being used. we just have to move 15ft deep snow back 240ft from the wall in 2hour and 45 minutes.
Thank you
