Zavien
Nodding to Hawthorn, he got to work, placing handfuls of mud from the nearby river into a barrier around them. The wet earth squelched beneath his feet and caked his clothes, covering his entire body with splotches of plastered dirt. It slowly began to widen into a substantial wall of protection for the two Surveyors, but the smoke started eliciting a cough from his lungs, slowing his work.
Pausing momentarily to wipe the irritation from his eyes, Zavien glanced around for Hawthorn. "I think we need to consider the smoke. Let's put a damp cloth over our mouths. That should help a little." As he soaked a torn strip of his jacket, he glanced at the rapidly approaching flames. Concern clouded his expression, but glancing at the safe digging crew, he smiled. At least everyone else was safe. They just needed to weather the wildfire. He placed the cloth around his face, tying it in the back to secure it. Standing so close to the water, he considered their situation. "Perhaps we should stand in the river to be safe?" The mud should hold up, however, Zavien always preferred to have a backup plan.
Zavien ties a wet cloth to his mouth, protecting him from the smoke, and suggests standing in the river to add an extra layer of protection.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
