"A couple of heroes went missing during the Great Conflict", Preacher said. "Though I fail to see how they could be involved, moreso why they would be involved."

Then a thought struck him.

"The Mold?!" he exclaimed, facing the captain. "Is he still behind bars?! Tell me!"

"Who knows?" she grunted. "The second hall and the courtyard are both completely overun. I have a group just beyond these gates holding them off in the first hall, but I'd rather not risk all of our lives in there. If they had manage to kill us all off, there'd be no one left to hold these gates. So here we are."

Preacher didn't like the sound of the situation for each passing moment. "Are there any inmates that you are aware of that has escaped?"

"Wormking", she spat. "Bastard is the one who overran the courtyard. Those of my guards who died during the explosion are now his thralls. Then I am not certain, chaos ensued once the first flames broke out. I barely had the chance to muster a resistance. There is a possibility that Shadowcat might've escaped. Having worked here for so long, I'd be a fool if I didn't notice that brute missing from his cell. He is... pretty hard to miss, after all."

"Fucking hell..." sighed Preacher and adjusted his hair back anxiously. "So... any plans?"

"Hold these gates until reinforcement from Solitude arrives. Knowing those slow mainlander scum, I reckon that they will arrive by tomorrow. And we'll all be dead by then, so there's that little unpleasant detail."

"One moment", Preacher said, reflecting upon the situation. He knew that several of the students possessed powers that would give them an upper hand in this situation, yet he did not know if he dared to use them. They were still children in his eyes, and he wanted to damn the Guildmaster for exposing them to such a dangerous task as this.

"Vin and Helaena", he proposed. "I want you both to fly over the courtyard. Don't engage in anything, just scout ahead and gather some information of our layout. Where the explosion took place and the condition of the courtyard, the rest will follow me inside."
