The group, minus those who were gazing at the fire like it was Talos Incarnate, went stomping up the stairs and checking each room, and each time, they came up empty. The air around them was starting to get stuffy, and the heat was starting to get to them.

Finally, they came to master bedroom, and tied up to a chair with a gag in her mouth, was Maven. she looked to be barely conscious, but it appeared she was still breathing.

"I'll get her untied!" Akros volunteered, sliding over to Maven's position and began to quickly untie her.

Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. As he was about to relieve her of her binds, the Nord from The Tooth appeared, with a sharp glass sword in one hand and an empty vial in the other (Invisibility potion, if you're wondering.). He then brought the sword down on Akros's neck, sending his head rolling across the floor and blood spewing from his open neck.

"NO!" Cidarus roared, whipping out his crossbow and firing a quick shot and missing by a mile. He was gonna fire again, but the Nord had Maven back up, sword on her throat. "Make another move and the broad dies!" He said.
