"Sarah, I fear I cannot protect you! Run! That goes for all of you too! He's a madman, he butchered Sister Maria! Look at the blood on him!"

The elf turns and runs forty feet towards the door, stopping 10 feet away from it. He turns and fires blindly at you and manages to hit.

The Sister to which the elf was speaking runs after him, seeking protection from you. As she passes the elf, he says "Behind me, Sarah! I'll do what I can to protect you!"

She passes through the door then turns to see if the elf is following her.

As you charge forth, you hear the elf yell, "Sisters, I suggest you disregard whatever this lying scum said! He slaughtered Sister Maria! And please, for your own protection, stand back, I'll end his worthless life here and now!"

You burst forth from the shadow and cut down the elf where he stands.

The Sisters run in terror trying to hide and flee. Sister Lady Margarete comes out of the office and tries to calm them, but they still seem quite terrified.

[planswalker]

Uvag says, "I am sorry to have scared all of you. It was not my intention to be so brazen in this, but i could not allow the man who killed sister Maria to walk out of here with another of you. If you examine your sister's body, you will find that her wound are punctures made by an arrow, not the gashes of my big knife here. He killed her in cold blood, for money. I have just been talking with Lady Margarite; she asked me to avenge maria's death. Here is her killer. You did not see me because i have the power to become unseen." he becomes invisible and dismisses it as proof.
"Please do not be frightened. Though i can be fierce in battle, i seek to uphold justice for the helpless. I am not a killer for hire."

[Rizban]

Many of the Sisters have already left the room so do not hear your speech. Many who remained are still afraid, but some seem to have calmed down.

Sister Lady Margarete steps forward, "He speaks the truth as far as I have seen. Please calm yourselves and clean up this mess. You, you, you, and you, remove this body to the burial chamber." The three sisters to which she pointed run forward, grab the elf corpse, and carry it through a back door. A moment later, Sister Abigail returns with the four, and they fetch Sister Maria's body from the office and carry it the same way.

Margarete turns to you and says, "Sir, I do know who hired this man or why, but I do thank you for your aid. I know not how we can adequately repay you, but you do have our thanks."

[planswalker]

"I demand no reward, but i do ask that i be allowed to search that assassin for clues as who hired him. Also, if i may be so bold, i would like to take from his body as trophies such items he owns as might prove useful to me in my quest to defend the helpless. Please sell the rest to help this place. Although money cannot replace the girl who was lost, the money can help the rest carry on in her place."

he realizes that he is still holding his sword in his hands and places it back in his sheath.

A terrible explosion suddenly rocks the entire city, and the ground shakes as if an earthquake were tearing the city apart. The sky lights up from a blast many times the brightness of the sun, and you are certain that certain death has at last come to claim you. As the brightness fades, you look toward the Mages' Quarter and see the last remnants of the horror burning directly towards the sky in a seemingly endless stream of raw, burning mana which threatens to tear reality asunder. What seems like an eternity passes as you stare, though it is likely only a few seconds, and at last the blast fades away. In the distance, you hear a building collapse, and you are certain that something horrible has been unleashed upon the city.
