Lava glob

Lava glob is a creature ability used to hurl molten lava at their target. Characters must make a visible d100 roll to avoid the lava. If struck, they take immediate impact critical damage, followed by fire damage over time as their armor heats up. It takes some time afterwards for the armor to cool.

Casting Minor Water (903) at the armor (or at the person wearing it, if cast from defensive/guarded stance) can help cool it down.

Creatures capable of performing this ability include:

Messaging

A huge lava elemental hurls a glob of lava at you!
You make a pathetic effort to avoid the lava! [d100:1]

   ... 25 points of damage!

It seems you have died, my friend.  Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

Example of cooling down armor with water:

   Nasty blow to your left leg!
   You are stunned for 1 round!
A suit of armor partially deflects the onslaught of the fiery attack.
