"Which way did they go? What are they anry about... are they after anyone?"
His eyes focused, " They claimed a group of Garunam went into the Shrine and murdered a priest! In revenge for Seto or Raj Senem or .......something....they didn't seem quite sure."
" Guru Jujur was with them and tried to calm them, though his words seemed to rile them more for some reason. Isow is....I don't know? I thought he would come when the unrest started....I don't know where they have gone but I would check on your Mistress.", he said nodding to Khutulun.
The companions race to the compound, with some impromptu fire fighting from Kirkoris, and found the gates locked and barred.
After a few moments the hefty guard opened the gate sheepishly and allowed them inside.
Kiwa was sitting on the steps once again with a tired smile.
" Well.....at least they didn't come over the wall this time......"
" A lot of others weren't as lucky...all the uninjured servants are out assisting and we're preparing food hampers....well, Nenek Lina is...she chased me out."
" I do hope you lot weren't the cause of this? No priest murder?"
Krikoris shakes his head, "No priests, but we found where those soldier people were torturing and killing random civilians, could easily have been them killing the priest."
"Priest? Which priest? We found some evidence of unnatural things, moving corpses and cursed books, but we didn't murder any priest"
(At least as far as I can remember)
" Moving corpses? Uh....right...which priest? The young one that was helping officiate during the.....questioning....of Fathers body. Yao? Yano? I think?"
Krikoris shakes his head, "No priests, but we found where those soldier people were torturing and killing random civilians, could easily have been them killing the priest."
" Could have been.....but it looks like most of the city thinks it was our people who did it.....and they're not really looking to discuss it rationally."
Khutulun runs over and hugs Kiwa, holding her for a few moments before she coughs and steps back.
"Mistress, no it was not us. We would never do such a thing. We meet the young priest on our way down into the catacombs, he was also suspicious of what was really going on deep within the temple and said he would help distract the mercenaries for us... this, this may have got him killed. You had been right Mistress. There is evil down there, in the catacombs, evil that has seeped into that temple and is being used for foul ends."

" I see. Well.....you have one of the Shrines priests here with you, so it is not all of the Priesthood. Who do you suspect?"
" Many of my people are hurt and homeless tonight....my father would be very disappointed in me."
" There has always been evil in the ruins, even before they were ruins. Some of our ancestors were part of it, others were victims of it.....do you think this is linked to the robbery here?"
Krikoris looks puzzled, "If the ruins have always been evil, why haven't they been destroyed?"
" They are forbidden to our people, the Lokanan would never accept a Garunam going in there. "
" Also....your some of the only foreigners that have ever emerged again.....and from what I know you've only explored some of the very outer sections which are.....in my understanding...fairly safe."
"Which why has this mod headed? Are they still pillaging?"
" They dispersed a few hours ago...I think some of them sobered a bit after the fires were lit.....but I don't think it will take much to set them off again."
" Seto really raised the level of tension between our peoples but I can't help but think someone has been quietly ramping things up among the Lokanan. I didn't see many Merubat among the mob....so hopefully those of us who were outside the wall when the riot started might have found shelter with them.....did you see many dead?"

The smell of smoke is strong here and you can hear the crackle of flames from the Garunam Quarter along with calls for help and other cries.
Mal grabs Khutulun and says "Let's go!"
Running to check on Kiwa
Khutulun sprints directly for Kiwa's compound.

Kirkoris follows along, using control flames to extinguish any fires they come across.
