**There were rooms up there, but she found nothing of note in them, no spots or porous areas. She could probably find someone with a key, if she was thought that was the best way in and willing to take the chance he'd relocate in the meantime.**

Arl decided to first test running through a porous area with a one of the soulblades in the form of a spiked shield. She chooses to test the fourth floor porous wall.

**It was an armory room with several racks of swords, pikes and crossbows. A crate had been dragged into the center of the room, right below the soft spot she'd found earlier on the floor above.**

Arl borrows a loaded crossbow and unlocks the door from the inside, returning to the hallway. She then heads back up to the fifth floor and pushes through the wall with an origami shield, an origami sword in her mouth, and the crossbow in one hand (not expecting to fire it with one hand).
**As she ran through she emerged into another armory room, where the man she'd been locking for sat, not looking so hot, atop a crate in the center of the room, aiming some sort of staff at the door. As she burst in he turned and began to swing it around to aim at her.**

**The man was already rolling to his feet and out of the way of the stab. The hand not holding the staff emerged from one of his pockets holding a small ceramic sphere which he gently lobbed underhandedly at her.**

Arl rushes past the sphere and spins around to both keep the her shield between her and the probably explosive sphere, keep her within the staff's reach, and maybe slam her foot into the man's manhood.
**They were too close to run around the lobbed sphere, she shattered on her shield and burst, sending acidic salve over her shield and the crate. Unable to aim the staff at her, he settled for swinging at her head.**

Arl moves her head out of the way before he gets a strong hit in, quickly kneeling as she pushes the shield upward towards the staff. She swings the sword at the man's legs as she does so.
**The man leapt over the swipe and backed away, but the acidic compound on the shield had gotten on his staff, which was throwing off spark as started to malfunction.
Meanwhile the acid had also compromised the crate, which was apparently where the bounty had gotten the sphere from, because more were now spilling out and breaking on the floor. Some acid, others some clear ooze.**

**Arl apparently decided to jump on top of a crate so structurally damaged it was already spilling its contents out. Predictably, she succeeded in crashing through it and causing the whole crate to collapse, sending what spheres that didnt shatter beneath her rolling across the room. Acidic goo was everywhere,
Seconds later, thanks to the broken spark-spitting staff, they found out whatever was in non-acidic spheres was incredibly flammable.**

Arl jumps form broken wood piece to broken wood piece in an attempt to minimize shoe burning, at one point hopping a good 2ft on the increasingly damage spikes on her shield as she jumps on the probably wrecked crossbow and then into the porous rock. If that actually works, she leaves the room via the rock and either gets ready (if Man was closer to rock than door) or runs into the hall (if man was closer to door than rock).
**The man made it out first, but unfortunately for him was nowhere near as light on his feet as she was, and was currently rolling on the floor trying to extinguish his clothes but meanwhile spreading the acidic goo over him more.**

Arl unsheathes her sword and has it return to shortbow form as she steps away from the acid covered burning man. A few moments later she is ready to fire the borrowed arrows into his legs. Which she does.

Arl feels really bad for this guy. Not bad enough to risk the murderous fiend attacking her. She shoots his arms before transforming the bow into a long shafted hammer. She then tries to break his shoulders with the hammers. Once he is crippled she tries to choke him unconscious without burning herself. If she succeeds, she tries to cut away his burning clothes and otherwise give him what first aid she can without covering herself in acid/flames.

Arl blows on her whistle in a specific pattern as she drags the man. Eventually Cee hears the noise, flies to where Arl is, then flies back down to inform the peacekeepers that the bounty has been captured, is no longer conscious, and that Arl could use some aid in hauling him to the jail if anyone doesn't feel like waiting for the little girl to drag him down several floors. Also, one of the rooms is apparently on fire and soaked with acid. That could be bad. Arl takes the broken staff with her as she drags the man (did the man take it with him when he escaped the inferno?).
**Sadly he did not. Just as well as it was damaged and city property anyway. She did find 30 gold and large key as she'd cut away his burning clothes.
Cee found Tora below, who, upon learning the threat was neutralized, communicated to the spire by some unknown means, to life the lockdown. Then she and two guards went upstairs.
Upon arriving she simply stood there, mouth ajar, looking back and forth from Arl to the heap of a man.**
