Imagine what it is like to see your heroes, people whose strength and character you admire; be buried alive under hundreds of tons of rock and debris. The twelve pillars of the church had collapsed. With their death, the church had lost its claws and fangs to defend the power it now housed.
This was a tragedy and a monumental catastrophe; now, the church was a fat sheep waiting for the wolves to tear it apart and share its riches. Many church members who witnessed the incident thought about it, their faces turning pale as they imagined the consequences. Those outside the church, such as spies from other forces or members of the nobility. They were all characters looking for matters related to Cecilia's arrest and subsequent execution; their faces were flushed with excitement as they saw an opportunity.
