Location: The burning building
Interacting with: Cyneburg, Keystone, and the fire
So much was going on around her, though none of it seemed to concern Lerraina much. A new face in the crowd, half of their group ran towards the burning woman before she cast a shroud of darkness around them and fled. While she might have been able to help on that end, she figured it was best to stick to the task at hand; the burning building. There was no pause or hesitation. There couldn’t be. There was no room for it here. All of her dreams of a dry place to sleep and a warm meal would come crashing down if they couldn’t get the fire under control, literally. And she wasn’t about to give up on that dream just yet.
Keystone had grabbed a few pots and made his way over to the building. It wasn’t much of a plan, but it seemed to be the only one that could work. She scanned the contents of the wagon. There was nothing else that could be of use, nothing to make a hose and despite the never ending rain, it would take too long to gather. She quickly followed in suit with the first two pots she could find, large enough to scoop up the mucky earth and use it to smother out the flames.
There were at least three of them, it had to be enough. Keystone had gone inside
crazy lune…, Cyneburg was attacking it from one side and Lerraina took the other.
It might help if we had more hands on this … I’m sure it doesn’t take the whole lot of them to handle one person … who may or may not be dangerous … who may or may not have caused this. Oh dammit. She cursed herself under her breath. The idle thoughts proved a distraction, but that is all that it was, a distraction, and it certainly wasn’t helping her to do her job any faster or easier.
The rain had pounded into the ground so hard there were several soft spots in the earth, several large puddles that would work perfectly. Packing the mud and water into the pot, nearly to its rim, she flung it onto the planks of wood that held the large building together. There was a force in her swing, as she repeated the movement over and over. But it was fueled more by determination and will than it was by strength, and it wouldn’t keep up for long. Lerraina had left the tavern before breakfast, and the pains of hunger were starting to devour her energy. She wasn’t sure just how much longer she could keep it up, so she just kept moving, kept slapping the mud and water onto the flames hoping that it would be enough to get things under control.
Just keep moving, just keep moving …
