In the distance, Francis would see the explosion. He had been loitering around the town for the day, nothing much to do, and nowhere to go. With the explosion, it ignited the start of an idea within his head. There would be chaos, it would be dangerous, however he was small, if there was nothing to loot he could just slip into an alleyway. The young boy made a beeline for the explosion, it would lead him to the tavern.
