I remember playing a PnP game once that didn't have like alchemist's fire (it wasn't D&D) but there was booze and rags so I made a Molotov to throw at this group of enemies we were fighting who were standing on a thatched roof. The rest of the party was mad up until the DM said it killed all the enemies, and revealed the building they were on was a secret workshop set up by the gang we were trying to find, and it was filled with powerful artifacts and hella money.

Perhaps they were worried that you'd end up with a different problem, I hear that happens very frequently when you throw a molotov cocktail

It looks like history does repeat itself.

Lords used to have flammable houses as well before they started building castles out of stone
