Explosions at the Albatross Point Wharf

You rock back on your heels from the shock of a thunderclap and a pillar of violet flame erupts from the docks. As you make haste to the docks the streets are in chaos. The young are fearfully running in all directions while the more mature shopkeepers calmly but quickly close shutters and begin loading firearms. Another explosion rocks you, followed shortly by another, with each shock accompanied by a pillar of violet flame.

As you arrive at the docks you discover the burnt body of a Sorcier wizard smoldering in front of a large corpse of a wildblood of burden (an unintelligent wild blood, elephant) and a wagon full of what used to be caged dogs but are now piles of ash.

Further down the docks, a docked ship is bathed in purple flames that are turning orange and red as a natural fire catches on nearby buildings. Silhouetted by the flame are a motley mass of dock workers who are trying to put out the fire but can’t because of several well-placed longarmsmen.

Two more ships are sinking into the sea, one near the docks and another that is further away and barely visible through the smoke and haze of the fires. A soot-covered dockhand rushes you, pointing feverishly in the direction of another ship, and this one has a swirling vortex of runes coalescing above it.

🎲 DM: In the chaos of the docks there was only so much that the characters could do, and so the fire from the explosions burnt down significant portions of the wharf.
