[Journalai Route, Foothills]
A set of rolling green hills rise up to the west, gradually flattening out into grasslands to the east. A barricade blocks off further passage toward the east along the Journalai Route. You also see a rock troll, some stale bread, a rusty disc, some smoked goblin tongue, and a heavy barricade.
Also here: an unconscious Arcane Marksman Wooderson who is lying down.
Obvious paths: west.
(Roundtime: 5 seconds.)

You notice Kashik as he stealthily closes to melee range on a rock troll.

You fade into view!
You turn to face Wooderson.
You splash some naphtha on Wooderson, soaking him with the smelly mixture!

Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Kashik trying to sneak west.

Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
You raise your arms skyward, chanting the words of the Burn spell.
>
You begin to weave mana lines into a target pattern around Wooderson.
>
You gesture at Wooderson.
The mana you were holding contributes to the spell.
A brilliant beam descends from the sky and shrinks into a tiny point centered on Wooderson.
The beam leaves a painful scorch mark on the neck, smoking slightly.
Wooderson is lightly stunned!
The naphtha soaking Wooderson bursts into flame with an explosive *WHOOOMPH*!
Roundtime: 1 second.

You have nothing to splash.

You get a bottle of naphtha from inside your spidersilk haversack.

...wait 1 seconds.

Moving well, a rock troll lunges a sharp pine sapling at Wooderson. Wooderson fails to dodge, mis-stepping and blundering into the blow. The sapling lands a good strike to his left leg!
>
Wooderson suddenly turns and bolts, sobbing like a child!
Wooderson just left.
>
You say, "WAHAHAHAHA"
