Incongruities like this one come about because of the way PbP messages are created. Individual text objects are pulled from a number of different categories to create a full sequence of events, and it isn't easy to make sure that a later bit of information doesn't seem to contradict an earlier one.

If "scorching" is the word that actually appeared in the PbP, followed by "drifts under it," then it's possible this particular problem has been solved--the word "scorching" doesn't appear in the latest version of the XML file that was distributed to testers with the latest build today. I vaguely remember doing something a while ago to get rid of disconnects like this one.
