Ulmwin shoots upwards, getting above the haze of smoke that is hanging over the city. He's not able to make out much in the way of details, but he sees the glow of flame in multiple locations in the city.

Ulmwin darts back down soon after to at least inform the others before doing anything else.
"There's several spots that seem aflame. Can't tell if they're actively under attack or not, but it's clearly too many different areas to be a coincidence."
Randy thinks a bit. "If they come looking for volunteers to help, I'm not against it. Otherwise, I would say we should stay out of the way of the local authorities. If something pops up close to us, we can see about lending a hand then. We don't know what's going on and the possibility of getting caught up in a riot at night in a town on fire doesn't sound like the kind of thing we want any part of. Make sure you've got your fire amulet from the dragonborn on. We may need them if things go badly."
Ulmwin nods, seeming to understand, even agree, before he opens his mouth and...
"Frankly, sod that- Lots of innocents might be caught in some of those blazes out there. Might try and avoid trouble, but no doubt people will need help."
He pauses for only a second, but it does seem like the gnome is going to bound off one way or another.
Dornikal pokes his head out, but who he sees are other folks like himself, woken from sleep and wondering what is going on... though apparently, being fully kitted out for battle makes him more an expert in their eyes, as multiple folks ask him what's going on in fearful whispers.

Randy gives Ulmwin a long look. "I get what you're saying, but sailing in without coordinating with the local authorities could get you shoved out of the way, or in the worst case, accused of being involved somehow or being a looter. If you insist about going out there, try to find someone in charge and let them tell you where and what to do. At least someone in authority will know that you're a volunteer and not a potential looter. And don't kid yourself that there's no one that low. I guarantee someone is going to try to take advantage and try padding their pockets. That may be the whole reason the fires were started to begin with. It's one of the reasons why I'm not rushing out myself. Again, if the city officials come looking for help or if the fires spread closer, I won't be holding back either."

Dornikal pats the amulet under his shirt and grunts his agreement.
"Aye'll go out and keep an eye on the street."
If there is anyone moving by he'll ask them if they've heard what's happening.
