Campfires

[Gar]

I have to admit the things you can do with a campfire are pretty darn cool.  As in real life, I found my PC wanting to build up a nice roaring flame.  Of course, I'm throwing everything into it that I don't need to see if it will burn.  

So, this creature must have seen the fire and then comes and attacks me.  I knock him senseless and then decide to pitch him into the fire.  I use the subdue and then type: put creature fire.  Well, I learned that you can't do that.  Also, I was wearing some equipment that was made out of the same material as the creature.  Here's what happens: After removing armor (same keyword as creature, made from its bones) you place your armor in the fire.  Ouch!  That things expensive.  I'm playing that it fell off and landed in the fire because now it's blackened.

Is there a way to throw a subdued creature into a fire, or other containers?

A few notes on campfires:

1. I think it's too easy to extinguish one.  A roaring bonfire can be put out in a mere second.

2. It would be nice to be able to see the fire from a distance.

3. It would be cool if your fire got out of control or spread.  I know there would be too many problems associated with this one, just that it'd be cool.

Regarding fire in general, seems like it might be employed as a weapon.  Torches or flaming jars of oil?

Experiment! Muahaha...

I don't think you can throw the creature into the fire... if you could the command would be 'throw creature direction' where direction would be the fire. It'd be pretty damn cool if you could throw someone in a fire, doing damage to them.

I've never tried this...but...what happens if you throw whiskey into the fire?

Let's see an explosion, Morgenes!

Thats what I meant by experiment!

I would also recommend that you experiment with the campfire/torch/light code. Its pretty neat what you can do with it.

You begin looking around for a place to hide...

**This recipe would of course be useable with various people... especially effective on kadians and templars, what with all those silks and billowing robes.
