Magical NPC Powers go!
Out in the yard, chaos reigned. Someone was taking potshots from inside the first floor, occasionally firing out with a shotgun and seemingly immune to any tries to fish them out as if protected by a supernatural force. Someone else had fired on them from outside and then vanished.
