This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Chipper,follows,behind, gliding down,to the streets and dashing towards the scene.
"Where's help needed most?" he asks.
He also takes a moment to study the flaming building. What places look like the most reasonable to store people like Ireena? Where might the oarty's items have been stored. How stable does it look?
Fiona responds, "No one and nothing is left there. We're just looking for one pesky Baron's son. If you're looking for your things, we were told to safely extract them. They're with one of my cultists. I'll return them to you after we're done here."
Looking at the house, she's right. Just about everything has been ransacked. No place is safe anymore due to the fire making the house unstable.
Kessintra's eyes scan over the burning building as she reluctantly stops in front of it, searching for any method of entry not completely engulfed in flames.

"It's your fault too," she mutters, her voice distant as she stares into the fire, "Where is she? Where?!" Her hands start to grasp for her lyre but she forces them to her sides.
You can only see cultists inside. The door is ripped off, but the doorway is partially intact.
"She?", Fiona questions, "Oh, the girl with auburn hair? She's the reason we had the pleasure of meeting the darklord himself. He came here himself and took her away."
Kessintra's jaw clenches at the stranger's words, her hands squeezing into fists. "To...to the castle then." It is a struggle not to turn her fury on the woman, but she needs to hurry. Maybe, maybe if she can catch up...She turns toward the entrance to town and starts running.

She talks in your direction, but doesn't yell despite your current distance. "I have your belongings and a letter for you. You might as well stay for a moment."

The woman whistles, then takes out a letter from her pocket, handing it to Kess. One cultists arrives with three bundles, one has Garrick's stuff, another has Zan's, and the last one has Chipper's. The letter reads:
"Dear friends,
I must thank you for your contributions to my cause. Not only did you help my worshipper take Villaki by siege, but you also gave me my beloved Tatyana on a silver platter. I must admit, I was anxious when I heard you denied Rahadin's help, but it seems that all has worked out in the end. I bid you dine with me this evening to celebrate. Your journey and stay will be safe. I wish only for a night of glee.
Your host, Strahd von Zarovich"

Kessintra murmurs the words aloud as she reads, crumpling the letter more and more as her anger only grows. When she finishes, she hands it to Garrick just to get it out of her sight before she destroys it.
"'Friends'? 'Celebrate'? We helped him...No. We'll kill him, then come back and slaughter the rest of you."

She equips the armor and collects as many of her arrows as she can from where they fought him and the cultists. ((She only used 3, so I guess she gets 1 back? Unless a cultist was carrying any.))
Seeing the cultists turn to flee, Kessintra sprints desperately towards the burning building.

((Is Kess at the house now?))

Zan searches the dead magic user, then runs to meet up with the others.
The magic user only had a dagger. Everyone arrives at the house.

((Darn, no spell book)) Zan takes the dagger. Zan hand the long sword to Amelia, my thanks. Was she in the building?
((Longsword is Amelia's))

"Letter?" Kessintra frowns and reluctantly turns back, approaching the woman and holding out her hand expectantly.

Zan eyes the stranger, a letter? For us?
“Be about your business woman… deliver your message and our items and run back to your master”

Fiona turns her attention back to the cultists.
Does anyone want to do anything else in Villaki before setting out for the castle?

Kessintra will go back to check Izek's body for anything useful.

Just the axe and his studded leather armor.
