Mysterious Embers - Investigation 1

Two adventurers arrived in one of the villages in search of information about the recent developments regarding fire and molten rock in the Kysei area. The village they arrived at itself had only seen crop fires, from what they gathered, and the villager they talked to didn't seem to have any clue what was causing it, instead likening it to an eruption without volcanic activity. Fire raining from the skies, essentially.

They also dealt with the ramblings of an old man who seemed to be completely senile, spilling stories about a being of light, angel-like in appearance, who would cause the sky to rain fire. This man seemed to have lost his marbles, however, making him a very shaky source to trust on the matter. Even less reliable were his claims that this was going to be the end of the world.

The two were offered lodgings for the night in return for their aid and the chance for others to get involved, but the sky was quickly darkening, and the two came face to face with a bolt of fire that narrowly missed them and set a house on fire, instead. Priorities shifted towards rescue of a woman trapped within, and neither of the two got a good look at the perpetrator.

The investigation concluded with the rescue of the woman via their quick thinking and skilful acts, and treatment for the injured. Their information now suggests that the villagers do not have very good communication between them, and that other villagers likely have different information that has not been properly shared.

Perhaps this can all be pieced together?
