A group of Assassins from the Louisiana Brotherhood came upon the scene soon after the fire started, but the flames had already spread to the municipal building, barracks, and armory nearby. The chaos of the conflagration was augmented by civilians fleeing in terror, while Spanish soldiers rushed to various locations. The Rougarou burst out of the house and onto the street from a window, out of breath and severely burned, before both it and the Assassins were targeted by the soldiers. As they fled through the rooftops, they saw the fire spreading throughout the city, being aided by strong winds.[2]
