Drake looks across the street and selects a suitable rock. It flies through the window and into the nearest thug's skull.

Annurian focus and attacks, as a standard action. His entire body seems to catch fire as he does it, and it's clear it's taking a toll on the health of the Ifrit himself, who doesn't seem to care much. From his flames, he commands an eruption from the floor, between two thugs . Blue flame comes in a 10-foot radius pillar, growing up to 40 ft. in the air.
The siccatite weapons burn red on his hands. He prepares to move towards the enemies on his turn.
As powers are activated and chaos erupts Harsk, ever stony, waits for a moment...
Drake looks across the street and selects a suitable rock. It flies through the window and into the nearest thug's skull. The man reels, but does not fall.
Annurian focuses himself. His entire body seems to catch fire as he does so, and it's clear it's taking he's drawing on too much energy. He doesn't seem to care much. His skin boils and burns off as a massive forty foot tall gout of fiery destruction erupts through the floor of the silk mill. Annurian crisps and as cinders burn through his body, leaving only an ashen replica of what was once a man. The silk mill is immediately lit on fire, and begins burning rapidly.
The two men are burned badly.
Drake fades from view again and leaps quietly into the room. The fire makes an excellent distraction. Though he'll need to take care if the fire spreads too fast.
Harsk motions with one his hands and brings forth a large ball of earthen brik-a-brak and throws it at one of the flailing survivors of Annurian's attack...
Satisfied with the effect, HArsk move to follow after Nalina...

The element of surprise done, Nalina tries to throw open the door, and finds it barred from the inside.
Harsk motions with one his hands and brings forth a large ball of earthen brik-a-brak and throws it at one of the flailing survivors of Annurian's attack. The man's burning head explodes in a gout of shattered bone and smoking gore.
=======================================
The thugs run further into the mill, shouting "Inturders!"

His worries prove true, as the flames begin spreading rapidly.
Drake moves up. As he begins to draw a bead on the straggler, he hears them struggling with the door. With a silently mouthed curse word, he shifts focus to opening the door
Harks takes a standing leap and rolls into the building. One there he targets the runner (Orange) with another ball of earth and glass.

Nalina, finding the door barred, moves back over to the window. Seeing the fire spreading so quickly, she fires off a huge blast of water at the edge to try to quench it. She manages to extinguish a good deal of the flames.
Harsk takes a standing leap through the window and rolls into the building. Once there, he targets the running cultist with another ball of earth and glass. The man hears the earthen missile coming, and ducks under it as it shatters against the doorframe.

The remaining 'workers' flee into the next room, leaving the heroes to deal with the burning mill.
Despite Nalina extinguishing part of the blaze, it continues to spread elsewhere along the plentiful wooden crates and piles of extremely flammable silk.
Drake moves up. As he begins to draw a bead on the straggler, he hears them struggling with the door. With a silently mouthed curse word, he shifts focus to opening the door, and telekinetically moves the bar.
Since the fire will destroy evidence, he telekinetically begins smothering the fires to help bring this out.

HArsk will follow suit and work to smother the fire.

Nalina jumps through the window and fires another blast of water, trying to save some of the precious silk.

Harsk will follow suit and work to smother the fire.
Between the three of them, they manage to extinguish the majority of the flames.
================================
The sound of footsteps and many muddled voices from further inside the mill somewhere mix with the cackling of the remaining flames.
Now that the flames are mostly out, Drake moves up and throws the doors open. Invisibility and telekinesis makes this much more likely he'll survive the reaction.
Harsk elects to scrabble further into the warehouse to see if any other foes or fires are out of sight, with an aim of circling to join Nalina in the next few seconds...
More chanting is heard from deeper within the mill, from at least two voice. Those with keen ears hear multiple other voices stage whispering to each other, and the echo of soft footfalls.
=============================
Now that the fire is not a huge problem, he will open the doors the cultists went past. He's not moving up.
Harsk continues to plod along towards Drake and Nalina
Now that the fire is not a huge problem, he will open the doors the cultists went past. He's not moving up. Large dye vats and reels of drying silk fill the next room. Drake doesn't see any of the cultists.
Nalina finishes putting out the fire. Then she moves up behind Drake.
Harsk circles around the southern half of the room, following his companions.
The noises from further inside have died down.
================================
With is speed and invisibility he peeks into the room, seeing the cultists ready. He backs out and will whisper "hold" to the others if they try and pass.
Harsk will also hold, per Drake's request.
"at least 5 waiting. move on crash." he whispers before moving in.
When he's there, he will telekinetically push over the shelves on the west side (i.e. opposite him). He's pushing them north onto the oteher shelves. He's not expecting to harm anybody too badly, but he does want to shock people with something unexpected to interfere with their readied actions.

Nalina holds up behind Drake, waiting for his signal.
Harsk will also hold, per Drake's request.
Drake moves into the room with the cultists, intending to tip over the shelf. He sees several more cultists waiting besides the door which don't seem to see him. Up in the rafters over his right side is some kind of bird creature with a bow. It appears to be under some kind of enchantment since Drake sees two of them taking mirror actions and shifting back and forth. It looks right at Drake and shoots him with a sizzling lighting arrow.
Drake continues his movement with the arrow in him, then telekinetically knocks over the shelf. The female cultist next to it looks surprised and tries to dodge the falling object.
She's caught completely off guard and badly injured.
HArsk simply rushes behind to keep up, being slower than the others.
