Cece waves her arms in the air franctically, trying to ignore the phenomenal feat of strength this strange woman is performing. Her dedication to pyromania is admirable and Cece feels really bad about the lie she's about to tell this woman. "Me, I am so excited, I mees the door! A caravan of dry keendling ees comeeng! 'urry, we can light eet and wheel the flames all over the town!"
Her face falls as she realizes she might've been followed.. this is going to need a hell of an explanation.
"Jackpot!" Sharn says to herself. She seemed a bit trapped at the moment, but the window in this room might be her escape route. Sharn begins to gather as much lazyleaf and doom ap as she can while also investigating the tiny cloth bundles, hoping to find something to potentially help break her fall should she fail climbing out this windows.
She also made note of the things that looked the most flammable. She would need this whole room to burn to cover her tracks.
Now she understood why she felt compelled to kill earlier. How easy things would be now if both of those drug dealing witches were dead. What was she even doing going around risking her life helping people? "They weren't even good people!" She exclaimed while sorting through the contents of the room.

"'Retired', huh? I'm sensing an opportunity here... What would it take to set up a meeting with this fellow? And I don't suppose this... friend of yours, would be willing to help with teleportation and the sort?"
Kailyn thinks to himself, and who knows, if Piter's friend is a competent magic-y type lady, it might be possible to seduce her and get himself free transportation throughout the city as needed. Even barring that, he's fairly certain he'd be able to set up some advantageous deal that will benefit the Sausage Buckets.

Caldon is seeing a lot of things that don't make a lot of sense. Right now, he needs to focus on making sure as many people as possible make it out of that building alive. Then he can worry about the strange woman, the strange dwelf, the strange... well, everything else, really. Caldon is seeing a lot of things that don't make a lot of sense.

Cece
(Ebald and Petrol can be watching this if they choose)
The goblin woman's eyes grow large as she listens to Cece's lie
One eyebrow falls, and the woman grins toothily
"Yes! Fire, mistress! The whole town!" she cackles with glee, abandons the burning wardrobe, snatches up a small backpack (which is on fire) and rushes past Cece into the hallway on skittering goblin feet.
Evangeline
Evangeline starts up the stairs, but as soon as she reaches the second floor, she does indeed meet some people in "distress"
Two old wrinkly souls wearing shockingly inadequate bathrobes are coming rapidly down from the third floor.
"Look out the courtyard window, Ma! It really is burnin' down!"
"I see, Pa, I see! Move faster, Pa!"
As soon as the two catch sigh of Evangeline, the old woman shrieks "Peepers! More peepers!" and lifts her hands as if she is about to start slapping Evangeline
Caldon
Caldon leaves the woman in Arcadia's care, and heads back into the building.
As he mounts the steps he sees a thin woman appear from around the left side of the building she shouts "Elsinore!"
The wounded woman weakly calls back "Silva!"
Normin
"Ouch, damnit! What are you doing?!" wheezes the dwelf, trying to catch his breath after the force of the blow
The orc squirms away from the dwelf's grasp, jumps up, and takes off running east down the alley.
The executioner hesitates.
"After him! Don't let him get away!" yells the dwelf, and he is then wracked by a fit of coughing that slows his faltering attempt to stand.
"You best be here when I get back, citizen!" snaps the executioner, and he sprints after the orc.
Sharn
The Doom-cap is easy to spot. She can actually see the tiny mushrooms floating in the absorbent oil, which means this is top quality stuff. She tosses some in her satchell
The smell of Lazyleaf is strong, but Sharn can't find any obvious bundles of it. The smell might be coming from the bottles, which would indicate potent distilled leaf, but the only labels are tiny unhelpful hand-written things with a few letters each.
The cloth bundles crunch like they might contain dried lazyleaf, but tearing a couple open, she only finds dried leaves that she doesn't recognize.
The lower cabinets contain lots more dried bundles of different sizes, and as Sharn tries to pull out enough bundles to be useful for padding she spots a few enormous glass jugs that stink of kerosine.
Kailyn
Piter replies "I think it might be hard to get an appointment. Professor Valentine is Arch-Professor of Magical Studies, and he serves as Low Mayor for Temple Hill at the same time, so he is always busy..."
"And I could ask my friend if she will help, but like I said, she is only third-year, so she doesn't know high-level magic like Teleport yet."

You didn't say explicitly, but I read Caldon's intent as going back into the building again-- I hope that was correct!

You can end this turn catching up with Evangeline and the nudies on the second floor, or you can choose to have gotten a head start in another direction if you wish

"The low mayor of Temple Hill? Well, that's interesting. I am a legal resident of Temple Hill, and I suppose I'm also now in the employ of government, much the same way that he is. What would it take to get word to Professor Valentine that Count Kailyn Kandel, resident of Temple Hill and representative of the city's new Guild of Arcane Firefighters, wishes to see him as soon as possible on urgent government business? On that note, do you think your friend could help to set up that meeting?"

(If Caldon assesses the house to be safe enough to re-enter, that's fine. He will go to back up Evangeline.)

Cece heads back to(wards?) the stairs and pauses. Is it cowardly to leave now? To preserve your hide like an oily noble, without even looking at the higher floors? Or is that a silly little girl looking to get killed?! "Please..." she mutters to no one in particular "..geeve me a sign"
Sharn snatches up 4 or 5 of the bottles, hoping she can carry them without breaking them in her satchel. "What is this, a trap?" Sharn asks herself. But who set it, she wondered. Now, she began to wish even harder she had killed the woman before.
Without anything to fall on, this climb out the window was going to be risky. With those large jugs, Sharn had to get out of here soon though. Sharn began smashing out the window with eldritch blasts and various objects from the room to clear her path outside.
