Encounter: A Fiendish Infestation

Crap, I might have to hold this off for a level. If I gave them a one-shot magic item that can do a Gust of Wind, would that help them to overcome the swarm? (at least temporarily..)

It looks like Gust of Wind will do 1d4d4 to the swarm. If it kills them, the PCs win, if it doesn't, they lose. ;-)

Would that damage be multiplied by 1.5 as an area effect vs a swarm?
