(Not-in-game-so-therefore-inherently-out-of-character: There are only so many depositories within half a mile. Well, only one. People from Gate Pass probably would be able to figure that out. Also, Malvoisin, I wanna see more of the adventure. I'm counting on you, man.)

OOC: RA, even though Gabal personally may not be a direct contributor to the party's escape from Gate Pass, that doesn't mean there might not be someone else at his school who would lend aid, hmmm? Anyway, first things first...on toward the depository.Rystil Arden said:
Many thanks to RangerWickett (Ryan) for helping answer questions in my absence.

With the mysterious knight departed on his warhorse, and the rest of the threat from the Black Horse neutralized, the party takes stock of the situation.
The periodic sound of bombs exploding in the district crash through the night air, as the streets are getting more and more crowded with people running back and forth in the near darkness. Panicked citizens in their nightclothes mix with squads of soldiers hurrying in the direction of the west wall. All the while, bells ring urgent warnings up and down the mountain pass.
"Is everyone all right?" Torrent catches her breath in the cold air. "I have a wand of healing, if anyone needs it." (Torrent will use the wand to CLW anyone who asks.)
Torrent begins to move to the east, heading toward the wall that separates the next district. She sets a good pace, almost a jog, but the group is hindered a bit by the chaos in the streets. Everyone manages to stay together, though.
After a few moments, the party passes a family in the streets who look to be in dire straits. The father is burnt and barely standing, and he carries the unconscious and burnt body of a woman, presumably his wife. With three children in tow, whimpering and huddling in their coats, the man cries out, "Help! Someone help me please!" before collapsing with exhaustion.
How will the group respond to this family?

"I know of a safe house, yes, but we have to get the case first! The Resistance depends on us! We can hole up afterwards, if need be."Shayuri said:
"Right, that's it! Let's hurry, I'm afraid Badgerface may squirrel out of there, now that the city is under attack. Follow me."Rystil Arden said:

Coldan pauses, and then immediately chides himself for doing so. Save them... or save everyone, eh? Oh, such moral dilemmas you face, don't you.
He hated that voice, the one that questioned. The one that came from the bottle. His true voice.
As he's moving to the burnt man, Coldan turns to Torrent. "I can catch up, or tell me where we'll meet and I'll be there. But someone has to help."
You can't save them all, you know.
I know, dammit!
He looks at the others to see their reactions.

Aridha doesn't hesitate even a moment, she immediately hurries to the side of the exhausted man and starts looking the woman over, even as she unlaces her waterskin from her side and offers it to the man.
"Drink this," she says, "Don't guzzle though. I will do what I can."
(OOC - Heal check on lady to see what her condition is, then another to stabilize her if necessary.)
