Sulannus steps to get as many centipedes as she can. Right up to Bartleby. Beyond him are the three 'pedes in the corner, and she'll try to get them too, but the priority is her ally. Her limpid gold eyes meet his, expression serious but unafraid.
"You're going to want to stay...very still," she advises.
"Trust me."
Flames swirl and gather around her hands as she incants...Bartleby has seen this spell before; has seen three goblins perish shrieking under it. He's now staring straight down its gullet.
She finishes the spell, and fire roars from her hands, engulfing Bartleby!
...it's curiously peaceful inside the inferno. Everything is orange and yellow in twisting, curling streamers. Flames part around him...he can feel the heat, but not the fire itself. Dimly he's aware of the tips of his hair blackening and curling. He can hear the tiny ultrasonic squeals of the centipedes on him as well, as whatever whim keeps the heat away from him gives them no such courtesy. The only other noise is the roar of the blaze.
And then it's over. The darkness of the room rushes in, leaving Bartleby momentarily sightless. There's a sharp, acrid scent of burned hair and bugs...both of which are cooking into his singed clothes.
Sulannus' face lights up when she sees him undamaged and she claps those smooth, soft hands.
"It worked!" she exclaims gleefully.
(OOC - Move to get more than just the two on Bartleby if at all possible. If not, those two will do. Burning Hands does [roll0] damage to any bug that fails a Dex save at DC 13; half if it succeeds. Bartleby takes only sartorial damage thanks to Evocation school specialization.
