Ulthrane 32 (Middleday) (continued): Audrea Daleos, Eri Snow, Fern the Siegemaster, Jinxi, Juan de Fulmando, Sly Delgarro, and Yagritte Ratreaper continued to deal with a fire and hostile followers of Sardaster at Balsten Arms Building, a seven-story tenement in Delctra's Cauldron Borough of Trynser City.
Fern shot one of the opponents in his right arm, crippling it so that he dropped his weapon.  on the 5th floor, one of the followers attacked Kyrie Kelevan, a young priestess of Damira.  Another man hopped up on the railing of the steps ready to jump down on Professor Chalk.  Meanwhile, on the ground level, another attacked Jinxi and missed, while Jinxi hit back with poppet Jack.
Audrea cast Lightning, but missed; however, it distracted the man who was getting ready to jump on Professor Chalk.
While Juan ran upstairs, one of the opponents tried pushing a 500 lb. man toward him; Juan dodged and hit the opponent with his sword.  The 500 lb. man hit the deck, but Yagritte dodged, while Eri had hit her opponent on the head and Audrea cast lightning.
Sly Delgarro had gone to the side of the tenement building opposite of the exterior stairwell.  There was an senior woman named Mrs. Madison on the second floor who was afraid to leave her room. Sly climbed up, found out she was uninjured but just scared for herself and her black and white cat Tittles--he suspected the woman wouldn't leave bccause her cat wouldn't.  He helped her and her cat out, avoiding the combat for their protection, got her and her cat to the hallway and down the stairs.
Meanwhile, after several seconds of going upstairs while yelling "Anybody need help?" Juan reached Professor Chalk at the same time Fern met an opponent who was limping up the steps.  A crossbow bolt hit the ground near Audrea.
Fern cut her opponent's hand, Audrea fired lightning into an opponent's left leg; the man was caught in the middle of a sword swing, but dropped face first on the platform beside her.  Sly wrestled an opponent whom Juan swung his sword at, cutting off the man's hand.
Fern hit an opponent with a knife, while Juan heard someone inside a 5th floor room yell, "Help me!"
Fern hit her opponent again, and Eri moved up to help Fern.  The man Sly was fighting, who had lost his hand to Juan, when screaming over the side.  Juan entered the room on the 5th floor where he had heard the cry for help, and found a "chunky" man on the floor.  Juan said, "By Cyrusblancio, Kiria, and Stormia, give us clear air!" while someone upstairs (an opponent) yelled, "Sardaster preserve me!"  (Juan thought, "Crazy religious fanatics, calling out for help. Ridiculous. I'm not that way, praise Grebonia.")
Kyrie staggered down and told Fern where the "guy with a sword" (Juan) went.  Fern asked Kyrie if she was wounded, bur she said she'd be all right.  The air in the room where Juan and the man were cleared of smoke instantly.
Suddenly, the fire went out as if from a switch.
Out of the 10 opponents, four were verified dead.  The others were injured, some seriously or even permanently crippled.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 2019 06 22)
