Kazim's Lit Match

Kazim strikes the match, its small flame dropping into knee-deep petroleum-slicked water amid skeletal remains and swarming rats. The ignition unleashes a roaring fireball that surges through narrow catacomb passages, scorching air and driving thousands of rats into a stampede. Indiana Jones grabs Elsa Schneider, topples a knight's coffin for cover, and submerges them both beneath it, trapping a pocket of air as flames rage overhead.
