Platinum used the wall and whatever else she could to make her way down the stairs trying to seem normal and not so out of it, though it was a pitiful attempt

There was nobody downstairs. It seemed to be an inn, because there was a bar on the ground floor.

The guards milled around, with no specific pattern that you could identify. Your arm was numb from the gashes, but the bleeding had stopped.

You opened the door to a horrid sight. All around you lay the ashes and broken frames of burnt down houses. People were running around, trying to put out the last of the fires and relocating the old and young to safer places as they rebuilt. You saw nobody that you could recognise.

Exactly! So, what does this represent, then?
As you looked down, you could make out faint tiles in the floor.
