Lucrezia doesn't see anything more than shadowy outlines through the crack in her chosen window at best, and those could easily be her eyes playing tricks on her with all the smoke that's accumulated inside.  It seems rather excessive considering just how big the temple is and how much was coming out the chimney earlier but who knows what kind of animation spell is being prepared or even how the alchemist decided to prepare it.  The dhampir only has a moment or two before she makes out a zombie shambling towards the window, then slamming it's rotting fist through one side and dislodging the shutters just enough for them to screech and swing out on their own.  The smoke doesn't sting Lucrezia's eyes but it is making the zombie difficult to see properly and nigh impossible to make out anything else behind the undead.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Nevine travel times</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shadowspire ; 30 minutes<br/>the nearest road intersection ; 15 minutes<br/>to Lucrezia's temple ; 20 minutes</div></div>
