It was all hands on deck, and Jigano caught sight of Saiden out of the corner of his eye, the sun-burnished man taking control of some of the crowd. Filling his own bardic trained lungs he gave a call: "Anyone with earth magic, come help build a channel!" He didn't know how many he could reach, but any help at all would be better than none, and Deimos's lessons in teamwork were still fresh in his mind. He didn't need to do this alone if there were others who could help.
With a sense of the impending lava flow approaching he began to work smarter as well as harder, not merely constructing a bulwark but a channel, using his earth magic to shift the earth up, creating a dry moat as the relocated soil was then packed and hardened as best his power could manage into a wall behind the dip in the ground. He moved at a slow jog, reaching out thirty feet ahead as he tried to make a breastwork that would guide the lava around the city - or at least, away from the more populated areas of the city and the places where the people were fleeing for shelter.
As he moved he wrapped his long hair around his mouth and nose in a makeshift scarf to mask himself from the falling ash.
Jigano continues to use Mastered Earth and Creation magic to shift soil at the edge of the city, pulling it from the ground to make a dry 'moat' and piling it up behind the moat in a wall as he moves along, trying to make a guided path for the lava away from the places people are retreating. He wraps his hair around his mouth and nose to make a mask to keep the ash out.
