"Beranhond," Grumbleshanks countered, "You missed my point. I wasn't against the use of fire. I was against the improper and careless use of fire.

We could burn specific streches of the sewers by dropping oil down certain manholes and other entrances. That way the creatures of the dark can still move about within the sewer system. This way we can then force their movements to specific areas and potentially incinerate them all. Also, once cornered by flames, you know many are going to brave rushing through them. Some will fail, some will survive blistered and scorched, still others may escape with only singed fur. We'll need to be wary of them."
