Stories of Magic: Witches! Burning Schools! Part 4: the Aftermath

2 girls believed to be the arsonists have been apprehended. They claim that someone either on the school staff or in the village (the story keeps changing) told them to do it. The official response has been to transfer the entire school staff minus the headmaster, to other schools. On the off chance that the girls were truthful when they said someone on the staff told them to do it, it is now some other school's problem Of course, if it was someone in the village, oh well, because the village cannot be relocated in its entirety. Also, if the girls were lying, or, you know , not actually the arsonists, oh well.

This is why society needs some sort of marginally effective police force. Also fire departments.
