Did the old man actually tell us what explosive we were looking for, or do we go through some town and just find the nearest explosives-dealer

I love that none of us stopped to ask :)

Perhaps we will wander into the nearest village and ask if anybody knows any stories of Legendary Local Explosives

I am disappointed to learn that grease is unaffected by fire.

I hope Lao asks the old Man where the heck we are supposed to be searching for this explosive.

I suspect that Spoonweaver gave us a bear to fight to keep us amused while we were waiting for you ;)

I hope we play by a house-rule where grease can be ignited.

Burnslayer, meet grease, meet bear, meet forest fire

I've never seen something definitively say that the spell grease is or is not flammable. I think that, since not all grease is flammable and the spell a choice of 2 material components, butter which wouldn't really be flammable, and pork rinds, which would make pork grease which is flammable. I'm going to say that IF pork is used as the component then yes the grease will burn like oil. IF butter is used, then it is not.
If you have Eschew Materials you choose which one you want.
If you simply ignored material components you have no choice and not even your character knows which one is being used at the time. Think of it as if you simply bought a bunch of very tiny discount spell sacks. Actually figuring out what's in them is basically impossible because it's all been ground up into dust.

As for the "burnslayer" (I love that it has a name now) igniting the grease, Ehaism would have to do this on purpose. The simple embers that would hit the grease by mistake would not be enough to ignite it.

I was thinking the exact same thing, and visualizing the road at the end of M. Night Shayamalan's "The Village"

I was thinking something slightly different, having been raised in New Mexico... where the Atomic Bomb was developed.

Now thar's an explosive.

An atomic bomb would destroy the whole town, not just the tower.

There are tactical nukes that can take out neighborhoods instead.

Metagaming at its finest, right here

Then, a light shines in the distance on the road. The source of the light seems to be coming down the road at an incredible speed. The party has only minutes before the source of the light will be upon them.

Which road does the light come from? Fort or may?

Spoonweaver · Post by **Spoonweaver** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 12:16 am

Well it's technically the same road, and both of them are the same direction from you. It's coming from that direction.
