Hour-man has an idea, he remembers the keg of kerosene and runs back to the room and gets it. Nothing wrong with a homemade bomb especially against multiple opponents.

It only takes Hour-Man three seconds ((still speed-buffed)) to rush back, get the kerosene keg, and make it back, but by then two of the cultists have handguns drawn and one is pointing a rifle at him. A second rat-man is coming into the room from a side passage in the north wall. The remaining four cultists are gathering links of chain on the sides of the pit and the other rat-man is with them. ((You can throw the keg at the 3 gunmen or the 2 cultists and rat-man on the right side of the pit))

Hour-man will throw the kerosene keg at the gunman and if there is a torch in the hallway he will grab that. If the torch is not nearby then after throwing the keg, he will run into the room where there are lit. ( hoping to throw the torch at the destroyed kerosene)

The three gunmen fire at Hour-Man -- KBLAM! KBLAM! KPOW! -- but first they hit the thrown kerosene keg -- which explodes into a flaming fireball! The three men scream as they are splashed with burning kerosene. It looks like the two splashed with the most are going to burn to death, while the third one is rolling on the ground trying to put himself out.
"RUN AWAY!" shouts one of the cultists by the pit. They take off running, two for the north exit and two for the south exit. The two rat-men follow the cultists fleeing north.
Hour-Man quickly reaches a torch sconce and grabs the lit torch from it.

Hourman races to the pit where the chains are. He will use the flaming torch as a weapon if someone attacks him

No one is around Hour-Man at the moment to attack him. Two of the cultists have already burned to death and the third one is burning to death now. The pit is 30' deep. The chains are not 30' long. They are not attached to anything, but there are manacles on either end and hoops sank into the floor to hook the manacles to.

Hour-man uses the torch as a light and sees and then yells down, " anyone down there?" If he hears something he will toss the chains down the pit.

The flashlight illuminates all the 30' to the bottom of the pit. It looks like the floor of a cave down there; indeed, the cave below is wider than the pit.
Hour-Man can see no one down there, but after he yells he hears a man respond from below, off to the side of the pit. "Yes, there are six of us down here! But...two of us didn't survive the fall!"

Hour-man says, " hold on a second let me find something to help you all up." Hour-man quickly looks for a ladder, a rope or with his scientific mind looks to see if he ties the chains together will it reach the bottom. he also tries to recall if the room with the coffins or the air-hanger upstairs had any rope.

Hour-Man can't recall seeing rope or ladders. He has about 60' of chains, double what he needs to reach the bottom of the pit.

Hourman says " here I am sending these chains down, can you climb up?" Hourman lowers the chains to the bottom of the pit. If he has to unsecure the manacles to get the chain he needs to tie them up to make the chains into the rope he will do so.
(if wrecking is needed he will roll)

Hour-Man needs only secure the manacles on the ends to the hoops sunk into the floor, then hook manacles to each other to extend the length, and lower it down. Which he does, shortly (still moving at super-speed, for now).
"We're sending up the girl first!" someone shouts from below. The chain starts rattling. It rattles more and more as a pretty woman in her late 20s with long black hair comes climbing up the wall. Finally she reaches up and grabs Hour-Man by the hand.
"I don't know who you are, but we need help," she says, and she sounds like she really does.
Just then, rat-men start swarming into the room from the west entrance (the one Hour-Man had entered by, there are at least 6 of them, the closest 30' away).

Hour-man hands the girl the chains and says, " my name is Hour-man, hold onto this chains and help your friends out of the pit. I will hold them off."
If there is remaining herosene on the floor and if it can create a barrier between the rat man and Hourman he will ignite it with the lit torch. If this is not feasible he will activate his remaining hour of power, powers and will enter melee.

There is some leftover kerosene on the floor, but not enough to make an effective barrier; instead it will just slow them down to reaching Hour-man. Still, lighting the fire is one last satisfying moment before he's surrounded by weird rat-men intent on killing him. ((His final power, Super-Tough Skin, is activated. Four rat-men are now in melee range around him.))

If there is left over chains, he will use them as a weapon and attempt to strike or two of them. If all of the chains are needed then he will have to punch one
