Scene 1: Alarum

Losing no time, Zefir used the help of his servant to mount on his horse, before rushing toward the danger. He was mostly looking for immediate threats to civilians, and especially important and influential people of the city, whether they be nobles families or merchants.

Seeker takes in the scene and weighs his options.
The enemy numbers are too great and it appears there are even greater threats leading the horde.
He shifts his position, trying to get a better view of the Old City where the Delzahn cavalry seems to be organizing. If real help is to come, it will likely come from there.

Seeker decides not to get personally involved until there are allies of sufficient calibre and number to give the defenders a fighting chance. He takes note of possible escape routes, for he surmises it way well be necessary to engage in a retrograde operation if the situation continues to unfold along the current path.

"Another player enters the field," Seeker says in a low voice, not addressing anyone in particular.
The new arrival has Seeker's full attention. He observes the interaction between him and the Delzahn, curious if this is someone with authority over them. The jade weapon is somewhat telling. After all, it is not just anyone that carries such a weapon he muses as he glances down at his own staff.

Spotting one of the Lieutenant right on his path, Zefir abruptly stopped in his tracks as his horse raised his front legs in the air with a snort.

Zefir took some seconds to think. Maybe now was the time for a bold move ? As his horse recomposed itself, he looked directly at the officer.

Lieutenant ! I have been sent by Suesif Khan himself. Report on the situation.

While his voice was loud to cover the ambient chaos, he had spoken in a typical military fashion, authoritarian but not aggressive. He hoped the man would be too distressed to question his legitimacy as his "superior".
