The flames that consumed the buildings below cast eerie, dancing shadows on the crumbling facades. Smoke billowed into the reddened sky, obscuring the once-familiar landmarks and giving the scene an otherworldly, apocalyptic quality. Amidst this desolation, several distinct scenes caught Orris' attention.Just beyond the alcove, Izek stood amidst the flickering glow of the flames approaching two humans by the catapult. One man was manic and fervent, while the other exuded a pragmatic air of authority.  His eyes also caught sight of Grim, standing firm beside Izek, as they engaged in a tense exchange with the two strangers by the catapult. Grim's stance appeared non-threatening as one of the men approached her with a weapon. Below Orris, Kachilk'cha found herself quickly being engulfed by the encroaching fire. The alcove that once offered a semblance of safety now burned around her, the razorvine and structures succumbing to the hungry flames. Her form was a silhouette in the inferno, and though she wasn't yet burning, it must have been getting hot. Smoke rose from the alcove and insulted his nostrils.To Orris' right, beyond the alcove of tenements, a pile of dead bodies... some human, some orc, approximately 30 total... lay heaped together, a figure with a black bird mask stood nearby. The plague doctor was poised to set the bodies alight. The firelight played upon the bird-mask's eerie visage, casting long,  shadows across the macabre scene.To his left on the other side of the tenements, a group of armored figures surrounded a man adorned in fine blue robes. The contrast between the opulent attire and the dilapidated surroundings was stark. Were they guards? Thugs? The scene hinted at a power struggle.Throughout it all, screams carried over from deeper in the city.</blockquote>
