Fire, fire, burning bright.|Raynham, Reave

[Northen Light36]

Mathew smiles as the cart reaches the edge of Reave. "Time to warm things up for our dear friends the Clears," he comments mockingly, getting out of the cart and glancing around. "Vellemo, you go start things on those wheat fields over there. I'll take care of the houses." That said, Mathew gets out some fire arrows, lighting the head and quickly firing it into the city. His aim isn't great, but considering he just wants to start fires, it hardly matters.

[aivea]

Vellemo smirks and launches his own fire arrows, succeeding on the first two but, before the third, he drops the bow with a scream of pain as an arrow lodging itself in his biscep. Another arrow goes past him but misses.

"Gin, run and tell Jhaal. I'll slow them down," instructs Madison. To Vel and Mathew, he adds, "You won't get away with this..."

Gin nods and darts off to warn Jhaal while the former arms dealer readies another arrow.

Avani heard the commotion, and saw the fires, and in a panic ran to where everything was happening. For an old woman her legs still carried her swiftly enough to the scene. The first thing she did was fire fight, keeping herself relatively unseen she begins a chant and starts flinging soil to smother the fires before they get out of hand.

"Dammit, havn't these people suffered enough? I am going back to Humontis after this, this vacation is more stressful then I thought it would be."

[Devon]

Ryo and Kento step outside of Trevor's home at the sound of the commotion. With shocked looks Ryo springs into action. "Kento! I'll try and calm some of the fire, you smother it!." Kento nods and the two go off to stop the fires. Ryo using his Fire abilities to control the spread of the fire and Kento using his Earth-soil abilities to smother out the fires.

Mathew lit another arrow and shot it right at Madison. "Thank your leader. He's the one who declared war on our peaceful village," he calls back. Another three arrows are fired at several houses and then Mathew tosses some of the lamp oil over the cart before whiping the horse to send it fleeing towards the city. Another fire arrow and the cart's alight, the sounds of the slave inside's screaming easily heard.

[Devon]

Ryo turns his attention to the burning cart, Kento in the meanwhile keeps focused on smothering the house fires. Ryo touches his signs together and chants loudly, since what he was attempting would put a great strain on him. Focusing on the cart, Ryo works with all his determination to smother the flames on the cart.

Charm rushed forth from her home, looking around with wide, surprised eyes - but not fear. Once she spots the perpetrators, her eyes grow dark with fury. There's nothing much she can do to stop the flames, but she can try to stop these madmen. Releasing her aura to the fullest, she looks around and picks up a large chunk of wood to act as a club and heading towards Matthew.

[aivea]

Madison screams in pain when the arrow strikes his left shoulder; fortunately he manages to pat out the flames but doesn't think to switch on his aura. Through clenched teeth, he hisses, "Somehow... I doubt that's likely!"

Despite having dropped his bow, he still has a single knife. Snarling, he manages to throw the knife somewhat clumsily at Mathew. The Clear couldn't honestly say he expected that to work but he doesn't seem ready to give up. Though out of weapons and wounded, a look of determination is in Madison's brown eyes.

Avani runs up to the other earth, she sees the fire giving out and could use some help. The problem is that stopping the cart would cause the end of two lives. She couldn't debate, she would just give the other man the task.

"You there, help that man with the cart, I can deal with the fires, I have a little more juice then you young ones. Somebody trail that man!"

She begins to chant, now that she has shown herself she can relax and more fervently chant. The earth begins an upheval of itself over the larger areas to smother the fires, in places where it is just starting there are small amounts of dirt flung to stop it before it starts. She won't admit how taxing such an effort is.

[Northen Light36]

The horse, now completely out of its mind with fear charges directly into the wall of the inn. For a spilt second that seems to drag on forever, there's dead silence before, with a thunder-like crash, the cart simply explodes, sending burning oil and wood raining down on the city.

Satisfied at the chaos he's created, Mathew slips off into the night. He does, after all, have a son and two nephews to track down.

[Devon]

Kento nods to Avani and rushes off to help Ryo who is staring dumbfoundedly at the wreckage of the cart crashing into the inn. Kento shakes his head and goes to work trying to put out as many fires as possible. Ryo snaps back to attention and helps as best he can with his control over fire.

The former arms dealer gives a cry of anguish when he hears the crash before dropping to his knees and forcing himself to yank out the arrow. Clutching his wounded shoulder, Madison starts to return to Reave when Vellemo pounces him with a growl. The two wounded grapple on the ground, both unable to use their left arm due to pain.

[Devon]

Trevor and his group arrive on the scene and with disgust Trevor orders them to start putting out the fires and tending to the wounded. Spotting Madison and Vellemo, Trevor draws his sword and stalks over to the two men. Recognizing Madison from around Reave he knew who he was after.

[adris]

Avani was beginning to exhaust herself in her efforts, and welcomed the coming of the new group. After finishing what she was working on she simply sunk to a sitting position, eye on the fires that were left.

"Blast it all, Earth mother, have these people not suffered enough for thier sins? It seems they cannot even be given the chance to atone with all of this."

She wishes to help the struggling two but lacks the energy to even stay awake at the moment. She simply looks at them saddened, same sad look pointed back at the fires. After a little while she felt tired and decided to rest her weary bones, forgetting where she was she fell asleep while sitting.

[aivea]

Madison manages to dislodge Vellemo and stands with a slight stagger. The Clear is slightly dizzy from the mixture of pain, anger and adrenaline but manages to kick the Storm before taking a few steps back with a nod of gratitude to Trevor. Vellemo starts to stand after a few more seconds.
