[b]"Forget the damned rogues, its time to get out!"[/b] Seemed the Commander answered Joey's internal debate as the fires of the bar sprouted exponentially and quite explosively. [i]"Yeah, yup, sounds like a pretty good idea."[/i] He thought, scrambling out after Drew. As much as the Earthshaper's dirt walls tempted him, flame was literally licking at his heels. Round two with the bulky fellow would have to be cancelled for the time being. 

Rushing out into the cool air of the town, Joey was quick to notice a few things. Like Master Alexander glowing so bright Joey almost risked being blinded. And in the flash, he could see Vanahara bolting off down one of the alleyways, claiming [b]"Ling's in trouble," [/b] in that husky voice of hers. [i]"Ling...crossbow gal...knifey git...knives!"[/i] The fire and earthshaper almost made the rogue forget of his initial objective. And, he figured he'd inject himself into that particular equation. So, he took off after Vana, the light emitting from Alexander growing dimmer and dimmer as he tailed her. "Right behind ya, V!" He called, slowly gaining as he pushed into a sprint. She had a definite lead, but the clangs and jangles coming from her metal parts didn't make it too hard to lose her.

[i]"Running down a dark alleyway, eh? S'like a typical Sunday night for me."[/i] He thought, smirking all the way.
