Well, two points on the fire. One, the wood from the ship wouldn't be waterlogged; just wet. I would assume that being ship wood it had tar and pitch and oakum or whatever else on it to provide a degree of waterproofing, and it probably wouldn't absorb enough water from the broken ends to be fully waterlogged. If need be, I'm sure we could cut down to dry wood on the interior.<br/><br/>Plus Kell is smashing it with magical fire conjured by her brain, presumably as many times as she needs to for the wood to catch light  ;D<br/><br/>Me, I get +4 to my already ludicrous fortitude saves vs. cold, so I'm fine with it either way.<br/><br/>As for the survivors... Well, just seemed a reasonable assumption. Unless you were aiming for a "you guys are the only ones who made it" - in which case that's still<em>technically</em>true! I mean Velta's captive could just drop dead ("I've got the blacklung, pa, kaff, kaff -dies-") if you want it to be that way.
