Ragnor talks to the lex soldiers (Rowena and Bren) about helping to enhance and contain the fire with their air current control mutations. Bren has a sneer-like smile, and says, “Hurmm! Usually we wanna get rid of the smoke. I’ll try creating a dead zone to keep the badland winds from interfering, and gorgeous here (leers at Rowena) can create a circular airflow to fan the flames.” Rowena sighs wearily.
As Zeebo starts stripping off his trenchcoat, Arvak, Phallon, and Ragnor light up the fire using their matches and lighter. Firebuilding rolls: Arvak (8): 3 4 = white. Phallon (6 due to sickness): 40 2 = white. Ragnor (9): 00 8 = white. Hmmm, even though the air currents are keeping the matches from blowing out, the materials just aren’t starting well enough to get the fire going.
Sgt. Cam-Era says, “We have to start fires out here all the time! I think you need more kindling under those heavy desks. I’d rip up that red fabric (points to the cloak) and stuff it underneath. And we can go get you some poddle chips from that field (points west towards a snowy expanse near the river), if you need them.”
There’s now a pile of “infected clothing” forming. So far it consists of Zeebo’s warm winter clothing, and his trenchcoat. Zeebo, now wearing light underclothing and boots, steps into the mop bucket, then gets out and heads back into the base, his wet boots squeeking and squishing along the floor. Arvak, Phallon, and Ragnor can wipe down their armor and leather with the mop bucket virolyze. Your clothing (Phallon’s great trenchcoat, etc) can be soaked in the bucket, although it would then be cold and wet (and maybe frozen soon) outside.
What now?
