Drew stood there and quickly realized what was going on. "Oh hell..." he muttered, holding back a string of swears. But he realized this situation could still be salvaged. It was unlikely, but it wasn't like any of them had seen him performing magic. Ling had gone one way and the other hostile mages had gone the other way. "Okay, okay, think about it..." he muttered. He turned and put on his best imitation of a panicked face. He stood up and shouted as loud as he could so the others could hear him. "YES. THERE WERE HOSTILE MAGES IN THERE. A FIRE ONE, AN EARTH MAGE, A SHADOW USER AND SOME PERSON WHO USED ICE." he knew they would be alerted, but he wanted his companions to know there were unfriendly people outside waiting for them. "THEY WENT THAT WAY!" he said, pointing to the direction the others were escaping in. He knew there were so many ways this could go wrong. But it was that or stand there and risk being chosen as the target of the mob's wrath. [i]Come on guys... show some subtlety.[/i] He hoped the others helping Ling were having better luck. If he could just get the mob away from here, they might be able to slip away. "Come on! We can cut them off if we're quick!" he said in a panicked tone to the guard, trying to appeal to his sensibilities as a leader.
