Just dump them in a cloth bag for now, and repeat with all available casts of fire seeds, putting all bombs in the bag. This gives a total of (6 + 5 + 3) x 8 = 112 berry bombs in the bag so far. Note that this can all be done out of combat, 3 hours and 30 minutes before the encounter.Now for the combat ! Make sure you're buffed with Resist Energy to give yourself 30 resistance to fire. This is important. Now take out your bag, run at the BBEG and speak the command word to detonate ALL of the berries. Each berry does 1d8 + 1/level damage... we had the karma bead and ioun stone in use at the time we cast it, so we were at 21 effective caster level for 1d8+21 damage on each berry. The max damage is 29 on each berry and because the damage is from seperate sources, resist energy protects us from all of them ! 112 berries results in 112d8+2352 damage = 2856 damage (assuming average rolls), reflex dc 29 save for half (roll 48 times each), 30 for half (on another 40) and 31 for half (on the last 24).(If some DMs don't allow the resist energy applying to each seperately bit, you'll have to run past the BBEG, incurring an AoO, drop the bag next to him as a free action, then speak the command word when more than 5 feet away. Unless you don't mind dying.)</blockquote>
