[QUOTE="Orichalcum, post: 1692407, member: 3722"] No, that was just so that each girl had a substantial chance of doing it on her own. The Flame of Vesta is the equivalent of a sizable torch flame - it's holy and doesn't need oil or fuel, but can go out through normal means, which is why there's always a Vestal watching it. So yes, wet waterskins would have taken a little longer but probably been equally effective, as, for that matter, would a little girl throwing herself on the Flame. As Meloch said, the danger was very real for the Flame. The question was in how to deal with the opposition. There were about 3 successive rounds when I was one good die roll away from killing Meloch, and the player was well aware of that. (Vesta would have shown _no_ mercy to a non-Roman male non-virginal embodiment-of-fertility slave...) [/QUOTE]
