She collapses as you cut her free of her bonds and kick at the flames. She is badly blistered. Lyceen smiles, her lips cracking. Guards leap up and seize each of you from behind.

"Too late!" she gasps.

The guards release you as there is a vast cracking sound. Up the street you can see a massive shape snap a building in two. Whatever it is, it's heading for the square.
