Spot the objects

Ustaad was informed of an an assassination plot and managed to locate the spot.

However, the rowdy plotters got wind of the raid and fled in the nick of time - or so they have made it seem. But he knows they are lurking in the forests outside, having surrounding the building, ready for a stealth attack.

Can you help Ustaad seize his evidence and then, raise a distraction in the form of a fire, to counter the enemy singlehandedly?

Let's see if you can help him spot these

1) The grand sealed scroll.

On the stool near the window on the right side of the main door.

2) A cloak as an added layer of protection.

There is one on the coat stand behind the chair on extreme right

And another near the twin candles near the water barrel on the left side

3) A barrel of water to keep himself doused and thus safe from the fire.

On the stool behind the door on the extreme left

4) A strong step-stool to aim the fire-bombs.

Just to the left of the main door.

Can the stool with the scroll called a step stool too?

5) Any extra weapons/blades in case he runs out of ammunition.

Below the stool that holds the water barrel

And beneath the cabinet with the globe atop.

6) Bottles of alcohol.

On the cabinet next to the stool with the scroll

7) Rags to help make a fire bomb.

Behind the chair on the extreme right.

8) A candle to start the fire

One on the round table

Two on the table at the front of the water barrel.

There is a candle near the books on the stool to the right of the main door but it is not lit.

😆 😆 😆If Vathsy has two separate categories, one for the one word caption and the other for a phrase caption, then for the former since only you, Selvi and I submitted , a third place is guaranteed for any one of us!😉

>>> Yes that is one tempting possibility 😈

Lashy Sahiba, we have hit double century. Aren't you going to herd us to a new thread? Looks like we are very likely to hit Page 300 before the update arrives.😃

>>> oh

'Don't return to Parnagarh, Harka Bai... you are a traitor... we don't need a leader like you...betrayer... betrayer... betrayer...' They screamed till their voices turned gruff 'betrayer... betrayer... betrayer... betrayer... betrayer...'

Heera kept her head low and prayed loudly as she tried crossing over from the Haveli to where the soldiers stood. But after a bit, no amount of praying would drown the sounds of insults coming her way. Why wouldn't the Goddess make her deaf, so she wouldn't have to suffer through this? Why hadn't she lost her sanity yet? How was she still upright, and walking?

'Why? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHYYY? WHYYY? WHYYY? WHYYY?'

But for each of those 'Whys', there was one answer. One resounding answer - the lone soul on this Earth who still loved her, unconditionally. 'Khan Sahib...'

And it was for his sake that her soul was staying strong through all of this. That her sanity refused to buckle. Because HE needed her help. He needed her to be upright and walking towards him. 'Yes... for him!'

Soon, the men of Ustaad joined in, encircling her from all sides, as if protecting her from the insults being hurled at her - with Ibrahim and an injured Sayyid leading at front.

But that sight only enraged the seething onlookers further - a misinterpreted reminder that their baisa was not with them - but against them, on the other side, with the enemy. And what had only been verbal abuse so far, ultimately took on a physical form - with sticks and stones being pelted at them.

'Get out from Parnagarh...'

'Leave... traitors!'

The Gods hadn't been generous enough to hear her out so far. But thankfully, Ibrahim did read her mind. So, rather than drawing weapons, he directed his men to form a human shield. And they did as told, curving inwards, thus protecting Heera and Gauri from the barrage of missiles.
