Orphic made his way to the main floor no longer concerned about being seen. As soon as he came close to the main level he could seem the smoke and hear the people. Members of the Skapatian order were everywhere. Some seemed to be panicking, while others were directing lower members of their order in what appeared to be an attempt to save some of the orders valuable history.
"You there from the lower levels." Orphic turned, realizing that that man was talking to him. "You there," the man walked up to Orphic and stood in front of Orphic blocking his path. He was a tall man wearing a red robe and a black slash. "is there much to be saved in the lower levels?"
Orphic could see the panic in the man's eyes hidden behind a veneer of calm. He was speaking to Orphic as though he was a member of the Skapatian order. The man saw Orphic without truly seeing him, like a fish caught in a tidal pool swimming in circles looking for the deep.
