Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 6775028" data-attributes="member: 2012">At the Manor:The young girl coughs and looks at Sarten through bleary eyes. She is surprised by how he looks, but she nods her head and grabs his hand. She leans on him as they exist the room. The Lyreguard says, "I hope that's everyone, because I can't cast this spell again today."He leads the way down the stairs, which is free from fire. He covers his face with his cloak to protect it from the smoke. Near the exit out of the manor he douses one last area with his spell before he, Sarten, and the girl run out in the courtyard. It is a hive of activity. More guards fire off water- and cold-based spells, and a local druid is dousing the flames still on the roof with a control weather spell.Kisep is outside helping with a large man who is being half hugged and half held up by the lady Sarten saved earlier. When she sees Sarten helping the girl, she cries out in relief and rushes over to gather up the girl in her arms. Linus is there too. He or someone else was able to get the gnome out of the manor as well."Is that everyone?" The Lyreguard Warder named Wilsk asks the lady."Y-yes, I t-think so.""The rest of the staff had the night off," the gnome miss says."Then I need everyone to get back and let us do our work," Wilsk orders. "Out into the street. Now!"The family is ushered away, carefully. Those with severe injuries are carried out the gate. Once Sarten and Kisep are clear of the courtyard, an arcanist casts a spell that Sarten doesn't recognize. It's effects are powerful, however. A field of energy surrounds the building. Then there is a forceful blast of air fired into the night sky which snuffs out the remaining flames inside the energy field.The process happens quickly.Neither Sarten nor Kisep sees any obvious signs of the rest of the Eight on the street.Wilsk's men gather around the Golodas to watch over them while Wilsk talks with Linus and other guards who fought the fire inside. Linus points to Sarten and Kisep while giving his report to his commander. Wilsk seems to nod in agreement and then comes over to the duo."You've had a busy evening. It's good you were here. The timing is unlikely to be a coincidence, so it seems like this patron of yours has some foresight, at the very least. Linus tells me the others went after someone who might be responsible. Any ideas where they went?"</blockquote>
