Entered the Gnoll/Flind fight from the cave, alongside Olly and Rugan, for a change. First thing that happens is a Gnoll shoots my Rogue and hits.

As far as I can reconstruct, this somehow blew up all the flasks of water she was carrying (one was certainly depicted during the carnage, and she started with several and ended up with none), and created a "surface of healing" (that was also on fire) behind us in the cave that lasted for 10 turns or so and was marked by little puffs of blue smoke.

Was too busy surviving to work out whether the surface *actually* healed, but can anyone explain WTH was going on?
