So THAT'S what happened!? I had no choice but to haphazardly throw a potion and pray to whatever gods think I'm amusing after Shart's expert pathfinding sent her gallivanting directly into the lava, and it counted in the journal as bludgeoning damage.

I was fighting the damn Grym at the time.

I was half-convinced it was a bug, half-convinced I'd hallucinated the whole thing. I've been trained as a gamer to feel like standing in the splash radius should heal less than a direct hit, so that would be something to get used to.

Although I guess it's one of those things that does really make sense. I was thinking about that just this morning, that throwing a glass bottle full of instant healing magic should logically result in tiny shards of glass becoming stuck in your skin.
