1 Kyros: Let's settle this with a vote. Those in favour of going back into the Secret Dwarven Passage to find Alvissa?

Interestingly, as of writing this annotation, the Wikipedia page on marsh gas redirects to methane, but the page on methane doesn't make any reference at all to marsh gas except as an alternative name.

Which is a shame because it skips over the whole connection to Will-o'-the-wisps and all the strangeness that flows on from that, which is much cooler to think about for a fantasy setting than carbon tetrahydride.
