Round 4:
Skill Challenge 1 (Engine Fire): (3/6 successes 1/3 failures)
Masumi attempts to assist the ice fairy, but her rushed spell fizzles, earning a failure.
Skill Challenge 2 (Wealthy Cabin): (COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!)
(Grryth rolled a total of 15 and Garrick rolled an unfortunate 3; the conductor gives Grryth a +2 bonus for a total of 17 and another success is earned.)
This means that all further ongoing damage is dropped to 2 fire damage per round, and is only applicable to characters that are in the same cabin as the fire. (Fire is only currently affecting the Middle Class Cabin)
Skill Challenge 3 (Middle Class Cabin): (4/6 successes 3/3 failures) FAILED!
Lo-Kag, renewed and refreshed, pounds on the walls of the cabin with a bench-pillow and snuffs a significant amount of fire, earning a success.
Alexia attempts to help in the middle-class cabin, but the shouting voice of the fire elemental jars her, earning a failure.
Gurdan thinks about what could help the situation, but unfortunately nothing comes to mind and he stands being ineffectual. This earns the final failure.

Round 5:
Skill Challenge 1: Engine Fire: (4/6 successes 1/3 failures)
Garrick shows Masumi how it's done and is able to send helpful arcane energy into the engine in an attempt to empower the ice fairy. This earns a success.
Skill Challenge 2 (Wealthy Cabin): (COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!)
Skill Challenge 3 (Middle Class Cabin): FAILED!

As the fire rages on in the middle-class cabin, many of the passengers can see that it is simply too late. Some of the braver men position themselves over the crystal connection point that keeps the cabins together. With the swing of several swords, they manage to damage the crystal enough to halt its magic. The poor cabin disconnects from the rest of the train and quickly decelerates, being swiftly left behind by the rest of the train.
Gurdis appears at the door and shouts out to you.
"We be catchin' up a'bit later! G'luck t'ye!"
The fire in the engine flares and dampens in cycles showing the continual battle between the two elemental forces within. Either side could win this battle at this point, though with the weakening of the flames, it is obvious that the ice fairy has a slight advantage.
With nothing left to burn, the fire in the middle-class cabin is snuffed out by the quickly moving lightning rail and the ceiling and walls crumble into piles of ash on the stone flooring that is swept away with the wind.
