You notice the ground around you start to crackle as small embers come to life at your feet. In an instant you are engulfed in arcane fire. Smoke clogs your lungs and eyes, hair burns as does your flesh. Oh go ahead and make a Dex. save! Hugo reacts instantly nimbly leaping to relative safety.

Captain Ron, though only on the edge of the deadly burning ring, struggles in the fire, and must have been over come by the smoke inhaling a lungful at the wrong second.
