Wiping divine tears from your eyes then, you set to work. With help of your comrades and conscripting the help of any able-bodied soldiers, you can find a building that isn't yet collapsed and therein start tending to the needs of the dying, while your helpers venture out in town and around to find any others and carry them back to you.
There is some difficulty at first, namely for you and yours being complete strangers (and yourself foreign-looking to them), and for your display of power that seems strange. Initial concerns of witchcraft and other negative connotations, and simply the suffering and trauma these people have endured when you're trying to act as a helping hand to them while the dead fill the streets just outside. Eventually though your appearance and presence can persuade a few of the dying to take a chance, and once you've managed to clearly save them from death it becomes easier.
<span class="mu-s">"My wife please! They shot her while we were fleeing!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"They cut my father open, can you help him?!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Stay calm, good people! She will attend to all she can, but one at a time! We must have the most direly wounded to the front!"</span>
Similar to your helping efforts in Eindward, you may have been swamped by people when they realize what you can do for them. Thankfully though, this time you have Lord Darry who is quite capable of taking control of a situation and ordering people, without too much trouble. By his effort and those of some others of your group... obviously Keely shouldn't be around anyone so she volunteers to go and fetch Rene and Zeni (still waiting beyond the lake), but the rest of your group, can keep the peace among the desperate. And desperate they are, a familiar sight you know all to well these mortals in such terrible deathly conditions, given hope again.
Fortunately yet also unfortunately, your work doesn't take too long, because there really just aren't that many people left. Not even a hundred survivors including guards outside the castle, so you can make sure nobody left is going to die at least. Their other ailments and injuries, it's upsetting to them that you won't help, but for now you want to get to the bottom of all this... and they should all come with you. In a safer place, the castle, you can properly see to everyone in need.
