While an instruction from a Dragonblooded is hard to ignore, especially one that draws attention to their divine favour, most of the crowd seem to manage it. Admittedly, only perhaps a third would be capable of seeing the display (looking around during a fight tends to bring that fight to a sudden, sharp and painful end), but few of them seem to care. A few moments observation would see that those with the coloured cloth strips are ignoring almost everything except the need to strike at whoever is close by. Those without cloth strips, passers by perhaps swept up in the violence would be quite happy to disperse, if they were capable of getting clear of it.<br/><br/>Well, most would. From her elevated perch, Ledaal Cerulean Dawn can see a couple of isolated groups that seem to be holding their own. One is a trio of immaculate monks, back to back about 20 yards from the edge of the disturbance. They seem to have given up on the idea of advancing out, and are now simply trying to hold the space they have. As far again in, and backed up against a building, three guards are making a wall to protect someone or something in their charge.<br/><br/>From out of a side street, about halfway between those two groups come a patrol of city guardsmen. They lash out with wooden staves, sending the nearest rioters stumbling and falling aside, but more quickly take their place.
