Craig takes a defensive posture, but his sword still manages to open up a cut in the orc's thigh.
"
IZRADOR!" The towering inferno crushes another prisoner as it moves closer to the wagon everyone was locked up in. The heat from the creature is overwhelming and everyone is drenched in sweat.
Whether is was Craig's plea, the wound it sustained, or the looming presence of the fiery creature, or some combination thereof, the last orc backs up a few steps and then turns fleeing down the road in the same direction his companion went.
With the orc gone, Taellis takes the opportunity to scrounge for his gear. He manages to recover everything except his bedroll and steel mirror.
Gunter is also able to find most of his gear save for a good number of his arrows. His quiver only has six remaining.
Sangrin sprints back to the wagon and slips back through the gap Kryt made in the bars. It seems the conflagration from the sky is nearly on top of him. He starts shouting at the woman who starts to stir and mumble something, but is still clearly very dazed. She has a purple lump on her forehead.
The goblins continue to flee.
Haris takes another swing at the lock on the cage. This time he manages put a small dent in the metal, but it does not open. The fire creature is just a few paces away and it has turned its head toward Haris. The people inside the cage are screaming and some are reaching through the bars clutching at Haris.
"
Get us outta here!"
"
Help me!"
"
I don't want to die"
With the orc fleeing, Kryt turns back to the chaos around him. Seeing Haris struggling to get people out of a cage, the orc sprints to him. He roars, grabs the rock out of Haris's hand and smashes the lock. It cracks and falls off the cage. Immediately, those inside began to surge out and the Erenlander finds himself knocked to the ground.
Those slaves who had already managed to escape from their cages have begun scattering in all directions. A few of them tried to rally people together in a common direction, but no one seemed to listen.
