"Very well, I shall do that then."
He takes the executioner's hand and kisses it.
"As for where I shall be, I am certain that the winds themselves shall blow and whisper to you where you might find me."
He touches his holy symbol as he does so, causing the aforementioned winds near her ear to whisper his address to her.

Cece has no idea what to do, so she just finds a place to sit and watches the chaos, wondering where the slumlord who ran this place could be hiding.

Everybody in the street in front of the burning building
At Arcadia's shout, the crowd moves back further, leaving the street directly in front of the burning building essentially empty but for the Firefighters and the one executioner.
Caldon, Ebald, Evangeline, Cece and Petrol all move further away from the steps, just as Sharn marches past with the bucket overhead.
The small executioner is distracted from the sandstorm by the sight of the flying bucket.
Sharn finds the front door open on the building on the east side of the burning one. A woman is holding the door open, and keeping out of Sharn's way. There is a simple stairwell inside.
Normin observes that the sandstorm has not yet abated, and that it seems to be doing a good job of choking the flames. Most of the remaining obvious flames are on the east end of the roof.
The thin frail looking Executioner emerges from the front door of the burning building and looks appraisingly at the Firefighters. Executioners always cover their faces when on duty, but this one has covered every inch of themselves with wrapped black fabric, neck, forehead, wrists. Not a bit of skin shows anywhere. They have a red axe insignia on their shoulder that marks them as a higher-ranking executioner.
Kailyn
"Until we meet again, Count Kailyn Kandel" says Executioner Delphi with a musical quality to her voice.

Seeing the Executioner and the way he's looking at the group makes a shiver run up Cece's spine. What does he know? Can they read minds?! Somebody said they can read minds. Cece tries not to think of any of the illegal things she's done (the boots! GAH! The knives.. GAH! that fire-crazed lady.. WHY EES SHE STEEL 'ERE?!)
Cece takes her bucket and her pointy ears and wanders off towards the dumpster.

Sharn heads for the roof. "It's about time people starting respecting me," Sharn scoffed.
"You don't deserve it," scoffed the voice in Sharn's head.
Sharn did her best to shake off the last comment, but she was tired.
"Ok just going to go dump some water then I'll indulge in some lazy leaf," said Sharn.

Kailyn makes his way to the Executioner's Guild headquarters, walking jauntily as he does. He takes care to make sure he's as visible as he can be, in order to attract any sort of attention. Besides, as they say, any publicity is good publicity.

Normin makes way for the headquarters in the event that the students he asked for help in security matters will arrive. A discussion with the executioners can wait.

Cece
Cece leaves the burning building and slips away
After a short distance, she realizes that Zargorina is following close behind her, smiling cheerfully.
Sharn
Sharn reaches the roof of this building easily. It is not as tall as the others, and someone has propped the rooftop door open.
Several teenagers are up on the roof, watching the fire in the burning building, perilously close. They seem oblivious to the possibilities of structural collapse or the fire jumping across to their roof.
They are talking excitedly about the sandstorm, which is only now slowly beginning to wane, and they don't notice Sharn at all yet.
Arcadia, Caldon, Evangeline, Ebald, Petrol
The frail Executioner advances down the steps. "Who is in charge here?" he asks, seeming to recognize now that the firefighters are some kind of organized force. The black empty eyes of his mask makes it hard to tell who he is looking at, but he seems to be addressing Caldon.
The small Executioner with the scroll in his hand shifts his attention away from the sandstorm and to the firefighters.
Three executioners emerge from the west side of the building, They are carrying the red-bearded dwelf man and the green-skinned one-legged man. Both are struggling against their captors.
Normin
Normin slips away and towards headquarters.
He can see in the distance that there are two young people wearing student wizard robes standing in the street in front of the headquarters building. The front door is wide open.
Kailyn
As Kailyn moves through the middle of Marketday, the dense multi-level shops obscure the sky, and it is very easy to forget the cloud of smoke entirely.
By the time he reaches the edge of the Granary Hill district, few people seem to be paying any attention to the sky.
It is afternoon, and groups of children are disembarking from the gates of an elementary school.
There are old ladies sitting on a front porch drinking cold tea and playing cards.
Up ahead, rising above the side-streets full of lovely houses is a stately old sandstone castle. As much as it looks different from the picturesque homes of Granary hill, it also doesn't look at all out of place. It seems to blend in naturally.

Sharn splashes the teens with water as she mage hands the bucket above the fire. "Look out", she says after the water had already been dumped. Sharn shoves any of the teens in her way, though not off the roof, if she can help it, maybe off the roof later.

Normin carries himself on his branched staff, hobbling back to the headquarters. Surely the executors will likely question him eventually, but not before he gets business out of the way first.
He carries his voice before he can step close, letting sound outpace his pitiful pace by saying, "Pardon my proving that a wizard can indeed be late! A most true emergency had happened, as you are already aware. Please, let us proceed inside from this ashen air."

Caldon takes the initiative, presenting himself as the leader without proclaiming himself as such. "What can I do for you?"

Kailyn strides towards the castle, ready to introduce himself in all his finery and charm.
He touches his holy symbol, then points to his throat, enhancing the volume of his voice. Nothing too drastic, but enough to make him seem large, powerful, and commanding. He then looks around for someone to introduce himself to that can lead him to a Senior Executioner as Delphi recommended.

Arcadia is perplexed at the executioner's sudden appearance. He came out of nowhere. Arcadia didn't take the initiative to speak up when the executioner demanded to know who was in charge. There was something about him or her that gave Arcadia the creeps. She also knew how quickly crowds could get out of control so she stayed put.

Cece groans inwardly at the sight of her pursuer. She seems like such a nice lady. Minus that crack about the ears. And the burnings. Cece feels bad anyway. She slows her pace to get side by side with the old goblin before starting. Give it to her straight. Maybe it'll be okay.
"I 'ave bad news..." she begins, still walking towards the familliar old dumpster behind the magic college. Maybe the conversation is better intended for the non-burning side of town, but where's the fun in that? Burning to death on a street corner, hours after sending money home.. that'd really prove 'em right. She smiles at the thought. "The arcane fire department? We do not make the fires, we snuff them out. I 'ope you understand. We 'ave tried to save your 'ome."
