Scottie will immediately attempt to cover both Prince Marius and Princess Caitlin with his giant frame. He is going to attempt first aid on Princess Caitlin to see if she is able to be saved.
As Scottie attempts the first aid, Princess Caitlin begins coughing up blood as she falls into a seizure. The arrow went straight through her brain. There is nothing he can do but watch as the life, and terror, is drained from her eyes. Eyes wide open, she goes limp in Scottie's arms.
Prince Marius screams, clutching his sister's bloody face as he just repeats her name over and over.
Erik watched in what felt like slow motions as the bolt pierced the young girl's skull. He had been watching the Jackanapes for hours with no sign of trouble. Erik felt a dam break inside of him as he watched Scottie try to save the little girl, and the tears from her brother.
This was not right. He felt the anger boil up from within. Fighting a corrupt government was one thing...but for the Jackanapes to kill an innocent child...
Flames exploded from the runes on his staff, though few people seemed to notice in the panic. He saw Gwyn slit the throat of another boy, the Viceroy's son, and smile before shutting the doors to the mansion. The emerald green flames burned brighter. He almost felt betrayed at this turn of events and he cried out in anger as he barreled through the crowd towards the doors Gwyn had closed.
The Jackanapes we're now his enemies...and they had just crossed the line. They would receive no mercy from him.
OOC: Erik has some healing abilities...but if the girl is already dead he won't be of much use to her.

Niall holds the Jackanape against the wall, then draws a dagger from his belt and brings the sharp tip up against the miscreant's inner thigh. His face stern and hard with bottled rage, he leans close. "Tell me what you fools are planning. Right. Now."

"YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE!!" Erik yells as flames shoot from his fingers and eat up the wooden doors. The emerald flames of his staff burn brightly as he kicks the still smoldering doors inward. His anger is great, but he manages to retain some semblance of sense and not rush headlong into the mansion. He examines the sight before him.
Erik can see Jackanpes fleeing from the flaming door, but not much beyond the foyer, which is just a square room, decadently decorated but with nothing of interest.
The Jackanape misses Niall and dropped the knife, giving Niall a chance to stab him in the groin. The half-blinded man drops to the ground, clutching his blood soaked groin, screaming profanities at Niall.

Niall draws his rapier and attempts to stab the man through the back of the skull, his face still a mask of cold fury at the death of one of the royal children.
Erik steps into the foyer, staff in hand, emerald flames sprouting from his staff. If his eyes could have burst into flame, they would have from the look in them. "Where is Gwyn?!" Erik demands.

Niall flicks the blood from his rapier and sheathes it, spitting contemptuously on the Jackanape's still corpse. "Regicide. Burn in the Nine Hells." Glancing forward, Niall notices the breached gates. Nocking an arrow to his shortbow, he runs up to the doorjamb, peering through the smoke and confusion into the foyer, looking for signs of an ambush.
(perhaps this is too much for one turn?)

"You move, you die..." Erik said in an undertone that left little doubt. He was about to move where the Jackanape had pointed when he caught something out of the corner of his eye.
(Not sure if Niall is at the burned entry behind him. If he is, Erik will wait so they can proceed together)

He'll gather the both of them up and immediately start running; barreling through people if necessary towards the inn they stayed at the night before.

The Jackanape folds instantly.
"We've sealed all the entryways. We're gonna kill that stinking pig and his wife; we already got the son."
Shaking, the Jackanap pulls a dagger and stabs at Niall's neck.

In his anger Erik will attempt to burn the door down the gwyn just locked. Either burning Hands or sacred flames if those would work.
Flames explode across the entrance, obliterating the front door.

Niall's blade stabs into the back of the Jackanpe's head, silencing it.
The Jackanape cowers from Erik in the burning foyer, pointing into the large set of double doors beyond the foyer.

(It's not too many moves. It's PbP and I'm pretty laid back with the rules.)
There are no clear signs of the ambush from Niall's viewpoint. While Erik's back is turned, the Jackanape reaches for the dagger on his belt.
