Everyone made it out of the tower in time to see the rising column of smoke turn black and the flames beginning to lick the stone foundation, consuming and charring the edges of the already derelict building.
It was anyone’s guess as to how long the tower would last, but at the rate the fire was spreading – and by the sounds of minor explosions coming from the basement, probably an hour or two – if not less before it collapsed in on itself.
It seemed Isokla and Nivram had not seen the bandits escape the building…
If the others hurried out of the tower and looked towards the east (opposite of where Isokla and Nivram were), they would see the shadowy figures slipping into the brush – two of them hauling what looked like a chest or crate of sorts.
OOC: Ydalon would most likely be able to work out that there was a fair chance they were escaping with a small stash of gold ingots if he encountered the escapees. It is doubtful anyone else would know the contents of chest though

Since everyone had escaped the tower unharmed (more or less), they would have to decide their next course of action. As soon as the Lords of Vision learnt about their outpost being raided, no doubt swift repercussion would follow – so it would fall to the group’s best interests to take down any survivors and silence witnesses if they wished to keep their identities concealed. The sooner they left, the less chance of the discovery of their involvement.
