Awesome picture!

As we have only seven active PCs and tonneau is ready to go, Urtzil will be joining in shortly...

Ways, can you clarify the rules on burning oil as a missile weapon?

Can you light a flask of oil and then throw it? Or do you need to throw it and then follow with a lit torch?

You can create a Molotov-cocktail type missile if desired.
You'd need to un-stop your oil flask, spill some oil over the flask, ignite it with an open flame, and then cast it up to 3" range.

If targeting a man-type, a direct hit vs AC 7 would ignite him for 1-6 damage per turn for two turns (unless extinguished sooner).

If targetting a ground area, it would cause a splash effect throughout a 10ft square area that would require a save vs. breath weapon to avoid 1-6 points of damage (once only). There might potentially be 2 men within in a 10ft square, or even more smaller types.

Can Sullivus shutter his lantern or does he have to put the flame out to darken it?

Let's assume it has a lantern hood which can be pulled over it without extinguishing the flame.

I wanted Vergas to scream "I hit it with my axe!" but then I realized that for once I am not playing a dwarf...

Vergas survives the first hit... but for how long??

It's going as well as can be expected for a first-level character... It's always a toss-up, you either run from everything (in this case back to the camp, lol) and are unlikely to level up, or you try your best to get a few hits in before you get dealt the blow that requires running away. I opted for the latter.

Well, now that we're almost all said and done with the leeches, I will offer up some futile advise

Given giant leeches can move only 3" out of water, it would have been a good strategy to stay out of their reach and kill them off with missiles and/or burning oil without any risk to one's self. But it was not to be!
