Morrslieb croaked as he felt the heat of Elsa's spell channelled through him, and four lines of fire slashed through the rain. The man who had spotted him was roasted where he stood, while the woman yelped and dropped to the water, beating at the fires in her clothes.

Wriggling out from under the log, Morrslieb began hopping away as fast as he could, heading in the opposite direction to the ruins. Behind him, the green-tinted light of a lantern welled up through the murk, the sound of more people - many more - coming with it.
