The fighting was steadily going the way of the guards who had been defending the pier. One or two of them perhaps had fallen from the vantage given, but otherwise it was very clear that they were going to be the victors when all was said and done. In all likelihood, it was going to be just the two who had taken the contents of the crate that were going to get out of this attack with their lives; but they had been so gleefully engrossed in their theft of the small vase that they failed to notice what Vyra had done. Having dipped a handful of rags into the bottles of alcohol and setting them ablaze, she had gone ahead and set much of the ship ablaze, this by some miracle being completely lost upon the two thieves.
Once they had realized it, they quickly disregarded the small vase and turned their attention towards setting out the fires, a task that quickly they realized to be impossible. Vyra had had the time to ignite multiple of these makeshift bombs, and even under the best of circumstances, the two men may have been able to extinguish one, but not multiple of them. The two continually scurried through the ship, trying to think of something to do, yet were so fixated in this circular line of thinking that they had further still failed to notice Vyra, who had quickly gone to where they were, simply picking up the small vase, and then departing the ship as simply as that.
Eventually they did notice, though only once the ship had begun to sink from the damage caused. The two men yelled out at Vyra, who simply ignored them, their cries being lost amongst all the commotion, the bells signifying the local guards to come address the situation. And as they flooded into the pier to provide assistance to the guards who had been stationed there already, Vyra quickly pocketed the lone item from the vial, a decently-sized emerald that had been wrapped in a few layers of cloth as to ensure no scratches came against the gem’s surface. She had tried to subtly toss out the small vase in the water as some more guards rushed onto the pier in an effort to escort everyone out, Vyra included. If there was any doubt or suspicion towards Vyra that she may have been involved, they did not show it, and as the guard ushered her to the safety of the docks, she smiled as she felt the gem bouncing within the small pouch beside her.
