"Does anyone have a torch?" If there are no affirmative answers, I'll try to use debris + clothing from the dead to make one, then light it on the burning engine (assuming it's still aflame.) I'll hand a burning torch to the Jale man to put into a sconce near the door, assuming he's found no other use for the sconces.
Breath of New Moon ignores the piteous cries of the wounded, and exits out the front of the carriage.
Once outside she takes a look around, and goes over to investigate the heavy metal door with the Shadow. If the door is locked, she looks for weakness in the door (such as where it may be possible to remove it by its hinges), and if it looks like she can get a good grip on it she will put down her Glaive and try to pull it open (with Shadows assistance if he wishes). If this doesn't work, she'll try to break it down instead by brute force.
Using her glaive as a lever, the squat but powerful Bone Woman (Str check at -10; rolled a 1!!!) noisily bursts the door inward!

The Red Grat-alepranon (lantern) and The Eye of Thundera (6 torches) were the only two with the foresight to pack a light source.
The wall sconces don't appear designed for holding torches; they have a sleek, recessed design with a wick-like element protruding from a small opening.

Thaimos hops down into the carriage and grabs his stuff from the baggage compartments, being careful to cover his mouth. Outside the wreckage, he begins to strap on his plate mail on and makes his way over to the metal door.
"Shadow, Moon," he begins. "We should leave this area. It's not safe."
His gaze drifts toward the Central Shaft on occasion, wondering why it makes him shudder. Perhaps it is the yawning abyss that continues ever upward that frays his nerves.

Fated to Die: "Baggage car? Ah!"
Fated makes the Sign of the Polyhedron at the 'sick' man, looks uncomfortably at Red, and then back to the man - "Good luck!"
Fated signals to his slaves and makes for the baggage car. He looks inside quickly, then motions toward any three bags that look most likely to belong to wealthy Green Man passengers -
"My bags - there, there, and there! Hand them to my slaves quickly, I have potent blams within to defeat the Rot. Quickly!"
He waves at the huddled passengers to quickly give him the bags. Hearing Breath crash open the door outside, he knows where he will be escaping to...

The Red Grat-alepranon gazes impeturbably at the scurrying Fated. As the charlatan passes by, The Red Grat-alepranon sonorously intones in a whisper: "I know that you are a liar and thief. -The Thing That Rots You- knows. It, and I... are watching. Stay away..." He makes a few motions with one hand in a mystical manner.
He will then exit the car, collect his slave and move to where the rest of the mobile survivors are collecting.
I light several of the ensconced wicks with my makeshift brand.
As you bring the open flame to the sconce, there is a loud pop and flash of light, as though of burning phosphorus!
(Save vs. dragon's breath: 12, 5, 11, 16)Servitor, Breath, and Shadow are (temporarily??) blinded, deafened, and dazzled!
The Eye of Thundera reflexively shields his eyes and is unharmed. He sees that all dozen of wall lights flare up a split second after the first is lit. The 30' area under the Shaft is now lit bright as day.

It is impossible to tell the color of a bag's owner from its appearance. Nevertheless, your slaves grab a matching set of 3 burgundy-colored duffel bags that appear to be made of a high-quality, vinyl-like material.

All is dark and quiet inside.
The Shadow looks over at the short bone woman and raises his eyebrows with an impressed look on his face. He flashes a smile of multi-rowed and pointed teeth.
"Mmmm... Very impressive! It is good to have such power among us, skeleton woman. My name is The Shadow Of The Evermore."
He does not extend a hand, but nods his head slightly in reverence.
(Ummm... obviously, this was done before the flash bangs went off in our faces!)

As the pop and flash assault his senses, The Shadow drops into a low crotch, closing his eyes and drawing his dagger. He tries to steady himself while he clears his ears, working his jaw to try and restore his hearing.

Fated to Die: (to the crowd) "I must first tend to the heroes who vanquished the Beast - likely they have been exposed to unclean emanations. I shall return!"
Fated and his slaves gather the bags and depart to join the assembling PCs.
"Greetings, heroes! My name is Fated to Die, for aren't we all? I recognize you from a dream, and my motto is, 'Follow your dreams!' You blinded ones can't yet see me, but would remember me from your own dream... I am the gorgeous one! My companions names are 'Slave' and 'Slave' - they are my property and live only to serve."
(eyes the open doorway) "I suggest we get moving soon - the rabble in the train is panicky and prone to desperate actions. Looks dangerous in here... perhaps Undead Red should lead the way?" Fated lifts an eyebrow at Red Grat-alepranon and gives his biggest smile.

After satisfying himself that everyone is out of the train car, the Sovereign Mask of All Who See readjusts his copper mask and makes his way back to the tunnel, observing the commotion, unsure which side--the fighters or the plebeians to--to approach.

The Red Grat-alepranon takes his dagger into his hand and intones at Fated: "For me to lead by your suggestion requires that I take some of your blood. If you are willing to undergo the sacrifice, I will begin the ritual of Foul Ethers Summoning..."
