...wait, hold on. Question. How is Goliath's flamethrower going to deal with the Acalya? Unless the flame is fully capable of atomizing breakouts and latent spores, hes just going to melt the solid crystal structures into a liquid form. Quartz melts at 1610 Celsius, and I can assure you, the Acalya are much harder than that. But the "plague" the Acalya carries is still active. So, instead of poisonous trees, you'd have poisonous slag.
