Xeresgate
You sneak slowly to the back of the shop. Usoki's attention seems focused fully on his record books. This should be a breeze...
You carefully reach for the iron door handle on the cedar door. Twisting it ever so slowly so as to not make a sound, you get really slow right where the stopper should turn itself free of the latch... when the door makes the merest hint of a squeak.
You notice a warm sensation on your wrist that slowly blossoms into a flame. You whirl around to see Usoki lowering his hands. "I'll not have any 'Nervates sneaking into my house!"
The fire literally crawls and winds its way up your arm, around your shoulder, and down your back. You begin yelping in pain, running from the store, ever more engulfed in flames.
"Enjoy the fire worm!" Usoki calls after you. You try dropping and rolling on the ground to extinguish it, but it's no use. With no water in sight, you're doomed to a searingly painful demise.
