"Crash and burn"="Especially not good in this context"...
Actually, my thought was more along the lines of "a giant fireball falls from the sky and causes mass destruction". As in, Lia lets the alchemist's fire fall, along with the jury-rigged bombs. A fireball in potentia which becomes a fireball in actuality when hitting the ground.
Welcome to my webcomic, Sarcantasy.

As a side note, I remind those involved that this is also a hostage situation, and that Cavendish is standing 5-10 feet away from the two children in trouble.

Yes. Very yes. My inner pyromaniac is doing a tiny, tiny jig.
Now, how do we get the kids out of the way/not get killed in the process?

Ooh--good call. Will that be enough to get Lancaster himself out of the way, though? I don't want to risk him having turn resistance and being close enough to the kids to make bad stuff happen...
EDIT: Whoops. Re-looked at the main thread; for some reason I thought Lancaster was the one holding the hostages himself, which would've meant a much tougher scenario than the one everyone else correctly had in mind.
What if Lancaster is a vampyre, as opposed to a nosferatu or a similar sun-resistant undead? He'll be completely immune to turning ... Not to mention a point that's been bothering me for a few days now. Cavendish is more than capable of using Disguise self and he's a fine actor. Who says the shape he's shown us as 'John Lancaster Cavendish' is even his true form? He might be something completely other than a vampire/vampyre.

I'm not trying to turn Cavendish. I doubt I could at this level even if he were turnable.
SRD - Turning wrote:Range You turn the closest turnable undead first, and you can’t turn undead that are more than 60 feet away or that have total cover relative to you. You don’t need line of sight to a target, but you do need line of effect.
Hence all those dozen or so skeletons and undead might be a slight problem.

Question I would appreciate feedback on! Would anyone be interested in purchasing potions from Kuzan if I took Brew Potion? I'm thinking selling them to expedition members at about 75% of the market price (will help cover XP costs and give me money to use for more potions and/or scrolls.
It'll give you folks all an option to get assorted buffs and protections that you can use at your own discretion. Since I have access to a very large list of spells, many of which are helpful, it may be handy for you guys to take your pick from them to be able to use when you want. Plus, it lets me prepare more than just a bunch of buff spells
Anyway, feedback would be appreciated, so please let me know if you are at all interested.
Hmm.... I think certain NPCs would appreciate that, starting with the guards and probably including Samael and Carter.

Potions of Cat's Grace or the one that improves your stealth/hide (I forget the name of the potion). My p.c would be interested. If I think of any other potions I can let you know.
As a side note, there might also be a very small market for scrolls, we have a couple of rogues with UMD and an archivist, after all.

Though I'm going to wait a little bit longer to hear from others first.
