In Riften...

The guards actually let out a scream as Riona shot lightning at them. They were saved by their wooden shields, which is a non-conductor. However, one of the guard's shields burst into flames, and he was forced to drop it. He charged Riona, but Darach intercepted him.

What Darach did next, he wasn't proud of, but it was battle-reflexs, and he wanted to protect Riona. The guard, whose sword was not at all ready to defend himself with it raised over his head, was easily eviserated by Darach. The guard's grip on his sword loosened and it fell to the ground, and guard fell to his knees, pressed his hands to his bleeding stomach and bulging intestines, before pitching forward with a groan, dead.

Darach's jaw dropped at what he had just done, so that he didn't see the second guard approaching.

As Megan headed down the stairs Saerlund must have seen her feet. He called out to her.

"Careful, now, Mage.  I've got a knife to the Jarl's throat."

As Megan stepped into full view she saw the predicament. The Jarl was in a chair, with her arms tied behind her, and her ankles tied to the chair legs. Saerlund was crouched behind his mother, with a knife pressed to her throat, his head just barely poking out from behind Laila's own.

In the Reach..

After a few minutes Irvan say an older man, clad in a General's attire (General Tullius' armor), marched over. He was carrying a tray of wood. A few well cooked cow ribs and mildly warm mash was set in front of Irvan on the coffee table.

"So,"  Said Weltrod, sitting across from Irvan, next to the Senior student. "Why do you think you should be allowed to stay here?"
