Round 1
"It looks like the good Professor may not stand alone before Pharasma today. Let's try and make this swift and avoid killing anyone if possible," Kristoph grimly says as he lowers the coffin with the rest. "Miss Lorrimor, please step behind us," he continues as he moves forward and draws his blade.
He then yells at the crowd angrily, "Don't be ignorant fools! There has been enough death here today!"
