Zariah's lightning bolt, combined with the distraction of Loren's geese (an extra element of chaos that made Morgan want to roll her eyes and forget this mission ever happened), did indeed bring about the end of the guards, especially as Peter finished them with his knives. The two fallen men brought Morgan no joy - already she could hear noise from the direction of the village.
"Your foolish attack has alerted the town. We do not have long and we are meant to have as few causalities as possible." She would certainly be speaking to Neron about this. As far as she could tell, the only reason Zariah was in such a position of power was her relation to him; why else would someone so rash and frankly, dim, achieve such a station? "Ingrid, head back. You cannot defend yourself in the face of what has been brought upon us. Peter, escort her."
Morgan walked forward briskly to the mouth of the cave, stepping over the bodies of the guards with a decidedly targeted sigh. "If either of you possess water magic, help me freeze the entrance. If you do not, help to defend from the siege Zariah has no doubt guaranteed us." With that said, she held out her hands and began to pour a huge amount of water into the first chamber of the cave - once it was filled, it would be a wall of ice almost impossible to break through in any sort of timely or easy manner.

Either help Morgan fill the cave up, or stand ready to fight the oncoming townspeople! No Order

This PQ is continuing with just Zariah and Loren, for now.
If Ingrid wants to rejoin, she's welcome to.
Peter is uh, dead, and timelines are weird, so we're writing him out.
