"Pothoc!" Rotom chastises the gnoll as she scrambles to pull out her waterskin and douse the flame.
The artificer sighs and rubs away the headache in her skull and the smoke from her eyes. "I'll salvage what I can from this mess, but it will take time to reconstruct the documents... How is Killroy doing?"
Korra rushes in and grabs the gnoll and pushes him up against the far wall. "You not told not play with fire? You tell friends ev-er-y-thing or put face in fire."
Korra does not let go of the gnoll's throat as she grabs one of his elbows and pulls it tentatively. She looks back a Alara with a wink, unseen by the gnoll, "Remove both arms?"
Ah, thought Alara at the half-orc's wink. Good constable, bad constable."Well, let's not be hasty," said the wizard, as if pondering Korra's suggestion. "I mean, it's much more pleasant if he tells us everything he knows in a pleasant speaking voice. Having him scream it in agony would be so...grating."
She looked coolly at the gnoll. "You're going to answer my friend's questions, aren't you?"

Once the situation seems to be in hand, Rotom begins sorting out the soggy mess of papers and ash. Carefully combing over the debris to find any information that could be worth destroying, or failing that, any papers that look like they could still be magically repaired to a readable state.

Rotom manages to put out the fire with her waterskin, and the gnoll cowers under Korra’s glare, giving a dog-like whine. “I answerrrr!” he growled in Common.
Alara and Ogham went to Sergeant Germaine Vilroy and cut her free. They found the Watch sergeant unconscious, but not dead. An oily substance on her neck is similar to what they had seen on the manacles holding Caden that had knocked out their rogue, so they knew she would probably be okay and could wake her, though she looked like she’d taken a beating.
There were still a few unburned documents on the floor. They had receipts of various Daask operations in Sharn, but two seemed of particular interest to them. One was a receipt for a lightning rail ticket, indicating the time, date, and journey of Garra’s lightning rail trip to Wroat. The other document contained a list of the names and addresses of the warforged hired to work in the ruins of Old Sharn.
