This couldn't be. Nikki had to risk shouting it out loud.

"Get out of there! It's poison!"

The weather witch had to end it now. And maybe, just maybe, she had a way to do it. The lava under her hastily made earth cap was still seething and bubbling under the earthen equivalent of thin ice. Gesturing powerfully upward, Nikki took advantage of the fact that she forgot to put a vent on top of the wet clay to create a massive steam eruption, blowing the cap off in the explosion. Up on the ramparts she was afforded a modest amount of protection, but Kiriko and Alam wouldn't be so lucky as the 60-foot pool of lava was exposed once more.

Perhaps the pressure wave would cause the mustard gas to spread farther than intended. But this bastard needed to die.
