They freeze- seeing they are outmatched now, surrounded by their dying companions. A short glance is exchanged then the bariaur drops his scimitars, the woman her crossbow.

Only two of Khari's horde are standing now, both wounded.

Khari ordered the goat-man and woman up against the wall. She had the remaining two horde secure the prisoners while she rushed over to treat Eman's injury (unless one of the surviving horde had more severe wounds).

"Get that fire out." she said once the prisoners were secured.

Eman is seriously injured but Khari realizes he will live- as will the others who now try to put out the flames again.

The locals seemed to be less than pleased about the fire, muttering, whispering to each other and now that combat is over there is a certain hostility in the air.

Her captives are bound, resting on the dirty ground but Khari feels how they tense, how they look for a sign of weakness or an opportunity to escape.

It were times like these that Khari wished she had never left the path of a druid. A little fire like this and the wounds of her comrades would be much easier to treat. She forced those thoughts to the back of her mind and continued treating Eman.

Once Eman was treated, she turned her attention to the captives and then the fire. The ranger struck her captives with a Sleep spell, then helped smother the fire.

Eman soon is stabilized and bound- he will have a scar but his arm should fine. He smiles at Khari tries to get up.

"Thank you. I will help with the fire..." Stumbling over he tries to help with the blanket while Khari casts her spell- the woman falling asleep but the Bariaur somehow resisting the magic and Khari feels he is just a bit too strong for this kind of magic.

With her help the flames are smothered quickly- however on the distance she hears commands and she also feels the change in the locals. The Harmonium will arrive soon.

"Now they come?" Khari said as she realized what was happening. "The hardheads are on their way. You all need to get out of here. I need to go find out what they were hiding in the cellar."

Khari nodded and was about to leave, but thought better of it. Grow up, Khari, she thought. Anything could happen during the time it took for her to get the things she needed. The ranger looked at the gash on her arm, the result of her being too gentle. Eman and the others looked at her as their leader. What if something happened while she was gone? She wanted to minimize the bloodshed, but for every life of the enemy she tried to spare, she risked the safety of all of her men.

She dared to ask herself what Mirelle or Nyrra would do.

"No, Eman. You were right. We can't afford to play nice here. Gather some wood and a blanket. We will smoke them out. If they do have a way out, we will just make sure they can't use this place again. And if they don't, then their only options are surrender or suffocate."

"Alright lads.... and lass. You heard the lady! Get some wood and get some trash, some feathers or some other disgusting stuff to burn!"

He starts to gather some wood himself, one of his companions ripping the shutters from a window nearby- another one bickering with a dustie about a corpse- but the Collectors quickly gather their prize and hurry away.

Soon they have enough wood for a sizable fire, a blanket and some things to make everything 'spicey'.

"Look Eman! Baatorian Ale! The sulfur in it will make their lungs melt, it will!", says the last of the horde who rejoins them, grinning broadly, awaiting the fireworks.

"Get some water. Remember that we don't want to burn the whole place down." Khari made a few adjustments to the woodpile, had the fire started, and gave the order to start waving the smoke it made into the door.

"....water. Right. Alright boys... and girl. Grab something and get us some water from the pool. Make sure nothing icky is in it."

Eman steps back, watches the smoke drift into the house and down the stairway. It takes only a few minutes before people start coughing and the sounds of the door being unlocked and opened can be heard, followed by heavy footsteps.
