Now, on Occupied Equestria: Silver is storming the Ministry building to find a changeling bomb. Posey is making her get away from unknown hostiles after an adventure in the city. Amber is trying desperately to flee the country. All of that, and more

Posey hears a "pop," lighter in intensity than any gunshot before, and a red ball blazes through the tall grass, bounces against the ground, and continues onwards. The grass along the trail of the fireball starts to catch fire.

Does the fire threaten to burn Posey?
If so, she'll move away.

The line of fire is near Posey, maybe 10 or so feet away, and is starting to catch on. the grass is in that happy medium where it is dry enough to catch fire, but wet enough that it does not burn cleanly, but produces decent amounts of smoke. Posey does not need to move in the next few turns to avoid taking damage, as it is far enough away.

After the passage of more time, maybe another two rounds, there is another "pop," and another ball of fire shot through the tall grass.

Yes, though only out of the corner of her eye. It's a ball of flame being shot through the grass of the field.

From behind, posey can hear
"Атакуйце, шчаняткі!" And more gunshots

[1d20+8 = (9+8) = 17]
[1d20+8 = (13+8) = 21]
[1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13]

Though the fire inches closer, it isn't exactly Posey's life being threatened at the moment.

After the passage of about six rounds/36 seconds, the fire feels uncomfortably close.

The fire is producing copious amounts of smoke, which gives cover. The meadow did not catch fire quite so successfully on the "right" side, which is to say the area immediately in front of the barn. The only sources of light, besides the half-moon, are the burning barn, in which it appears one of the two fire set has caught on and was not put out, and the fire in the meadow that is now between Posey and the ELF cell. Posey may cast a shadow from the fire in the barn.

As Posey moves up, she is able to get a clearer view of what is going on:

August and the ELF cell are fighting at range in evident retreat, as the Bloodbourne is commanding the thralls to attack. The Bloodbourne himself is commanding from the back, near the barn, and evidently is fighting with magic.

A flare is shot into the air, lighting up the meadow as though under a full moon, though the smoke still obscures Posey’s position.

Posey could crawl her way to the edge of the mound and ultimately either into the hole going to the cavern, or behind the mound and onto the riverbed. She could crawl a little to the right and towards the barn, but it is both on fire, and a center of attention.

Gunshots tell that the battle is still going on, although it's a little more distant now, as it seems the entire group has moved back

The gunshots die down, and Posey seems to be alone in the night. The flare takes some time, but it falls to the ground.

The fires in the barn and in the meadow burn on at greater strength, still finding fuel.

Be advised:

The entrance is a simple hole in the roof, going about 15 feet down into the cavern below. While Posey could likely ease herself down such that she could enter the cavern without taking damage, she does not immediately have a way to exit through that same hole, and the barn is now too dangerous to exit through.

Posey enters the cavern, finding it free of thralls, the bloodbourne, any paladins, rebels, soldiers, hyenas, or any other kind of meddling forces. Posey can only see with her dark vision, which does not illuminate many of the contents, but nevertheless she can see much strewn about, like some clothing, two coffins, and innumerable scratchings on the wall.

There's not a whole hell of a lot, but there is certainly more than none.

The most valuable items by far seem to have been looted from a bishopric's treasury: A sun shaped monstrance, a silver chalice, a silver ciborium, and a phylactery. And no, not for a lich, but apparently for a pony saint, unless the White Severyanan Lichs were very bold about their hiding places. Posey does not actually know how valuable these items are, but certainly they amount to several pounds of silver, as well as gold plating.

There are also a few rings, a brooch, a couple necklaces, and perhaps a few dozen silver coins and a few gold coins. There's also a jar of dirt, multiple road maps, two rather nice looking portrait paintings, and a rather large shield with elegant heraldry.

The items, like the monstrance, are physically big, so that's not as easy as you may think.

And of course the paintings will not fit.

Posey does so. No one enters the cavern, but Posey does not know whether the Bloodbourne or the ELF team are still somewhere outside.

Posey would prefer to return to her lair before Gloomy wakes up.
Could she somehow bundle the items on the floating disk to protect them from the flames as she runs through? She doesn't care about a little fire herself.

Just for good measure...
[1d20 = 18]

Does Posey wish to go out the usual way, turning right, and thus towards the meadow and the farmhouse, and likewise whoever may still be there (or not, as bodies would also be present)? Or does she wish to sidestep this area, and go left, to the riverbank?

Posey is able to deftly maneuver around the burning wagon, away from burning walls, and a lone burning beam. Or at least, far enough away that the wood does not catch fire. Posey may want to stamp out her cloak, and her eyes certainly dry out.

To the immediate left, the ground dips down into a very small valley, or recess in the ground, around what is surely a dry creek, that may still run with water at some times of year. There isn't that much vegetation, with a few plants and high grass. The center is dried mud, and baren limbed trees line the rim.

>>170355
Posey looks out to see that the Bloodbourne from before is still there and "alive," though clearly damaged.

I can't recall

He's in front of the meadow, between it and the barn. His priestly robes are now a bit tattered, clearly pierced by multiple gunshots. He kneels on the ground, looking down. It isn't clear if he is praying or mourning. He turns back towards Posey as she approaches.

"I thought you had been destroyed." He says to her

"I'm not so easy to kill, even if I'm a lowbreed..." Posey replies, putting a hoof on his back and healing him 2 HP
"There is nothing left worth guarding here. It's time to go. There's a major not far from this sight, connected to the League: come with me."
