[Tom]

> Which is closer to the fire advancing on it, the device or the barrel of sake?

> They're both about equal distance from the fire

> Are the fires closer to their "targets" or to us?

> They're closer to you

[Kilgamayan]

> To no one in particular: "RUN!"
> Dash toward and beyond the trail of fire heading toward the sake barrel, and try to disrupt the line of liquid by spreading a second of about with our foot before the fire gets there.

[Tom]

> To no one in particular: "RUN!"
> Dash toward and beyond the trail of fire heading toward the sake barrel, and try to disrupt the line of liquid by spreading a second of about with our foot before the fire gets there.

> You leap with all your oni level strength, shattering several floorboards in your landing and disrupting the liquid's trail!

[Kilgamayan]

> How close is the other line of fire to the device?

[Tom]

> How close is the other line of fire to the device?

> It'd take another leap of about the same distance to reach it

[Kilgamayan]

> If we did so, would we get there in time before the fire reaches the device? If so, take that leap and disrupt that line of liquid!

[Tom]

> If we did so, would we get there in time before the fire reaches the device? If so, take that leap and disrupt that line of liquid!

> It's about halfway there so you figure you can make it!  With another impressive leap the planks below the liquid's trail are shattered, stopping it just short of the foreign looking device.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look around for any other trails of fire along lines of liquid leading to places or things that they definitely should NOT be allowed to get to, such as more sake barrels or weird unknown contraptions.

> There's an already ignited pool under the table but other than that there's no more trails

[Kilgamayan]

> Try flipping the pool under the table from lit to unlit, to see if that puts out the fire.

[Tom]

> You try and sense the "fire" in the puddle and a weak point appears.  Interacting with it is really strange, applying force to it certainly shrinks the flames but makes you feel uncomfortably hot!

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we ourselves now on fire?
> Undo what we just did to the fire.
> Then, using what we practices earlier, take a look at several fires around us, detect their weak points, and try flipping to trade temperatures with all of them at once.

[Tom]

> Are we ourselves now on fire?

> No

> Undo what we just did to the fire.

> The fire returns to it's previous height and you stop feeling hot

> Then, using what we practices earlier, take a look at several fires around us, detect their weak points, and try flipping to trade temperatures with all of them at once.

> You sense several weak points in the small fires around you attempt to swap temperatures with them.  As a result some small fires end up burning brighter and some big ones shrink and eventually extinguish.

[Kilgamayan]

> How do we feel, temperature-wise, as a result of the swapping around?

[Tom]

> How do we feel, temperature-wise, as a result of the swapping around?

> You must have ended up swapping last with a small fire since you only feel slightly warmer, and even that's fading fast.

[Kilgamayan]

> So we ended up having to do one at a time instead of taking a whole bunch at once, huh...
> Let's try something a little simpler. Take a look at two of the (now) larger fires, find their weak points like before, and try to swap both of their temperatures with our temperature at the exact same time.

[Tom]

> So we ended up having to do one at a time instead of taking a whole bunch at once, huh...

> It all felt like it happened in the same 'instant', as in there was never a moment where you felt the intermediate swap temperatures.

> Let's try something a little simpler. Take a look at two of the (now) larger fires, find their weak points like before, and try to swap both of their temperatures with our temperature at the exact same time.

> The one fire shrinks to a small pile of coals with no apparent effect on the other.  You feel a surge in temperature, like you just walked into a hot spring on a cold snowy night.

[Kilgamayan]

> Try flipping the second fire's temperature, then, to see what happens.

[Tom]

> Try flipping the second fire's temperature, then, to see what happens.

> Nothing happens, you still feel melting hot and it continues to burn as before.

[Kilgamayan]

> Bah, whatever. Try enduring our new temperature for a few moments, to see if it goes down naturally.

[Tom]

> Bah, whatever. Try enduring our new temperature for a few moments, to see if it goes down naturally.

> It's slowly subsiding but very uncomfortable

> As you cool off Reimu, Sakuya and Patchouli run through where the front door once was and begin stomping and extinguishing the remaining embers

[Kilgamayan]

> Are there other rooms where we can't immediately see if there are fires going in them or not? If there are, head into one.

[Tom]

> Are there other rooms where we can't immediately see if there are fires going in them or not? If there are, head into one.

> You check the guest room and find no evidence of fire, only a couple trinkets have been knocked off the shelves and onto the ground.

[Kilgamayan]

> Head back to the main area, then, and help the others with fire control, doing our best to not put any more holes in the floor. Add in temperature flips to put out fires more quickly once we cool off enough for it to be meaningful and useful to do so.

[Tom]

> Head back to the main area, then, and help the others with fire control, doing our best to not put any more holes in the floor. Add in temperature flips to put out fires more quickly once we cool off enough for it to be meaningful and useful to do so.

> You return to the main room and help put out the few remaining fires.  Despite your best efforts a few of the burnt floorboards end up breaking, causing Reimu to give you a death glare every time.  It takes a couple of minutes but the four of you manage to extinguish every last coal in the room.  About the same time you feel your temperate return to normal.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ugh, my everything."
> Lean up against a wall.
> "What the hell did that?"

[Tom]

> "Ugh, my everything."
> Lean up against a wall.
> "What the hell did that?"

> Several others walk in and ask the same question
> Reimu looks at everyone with murderous intent

> The green haired shrine maiden comments "Looks like we have our first 'incident'..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Assuming it was even someone here that set it up."

[Tom]

> "Assuming it was even someone here that set it up."

> "Now that's someone who's asking the right questions!" an unnaturally cheery voice remarks

[Kilgamayan]

> Look around for the source of the voice. If it's that dumbass doll that just blew us up...
