Lorag, Kaleeth, and Ahnasha were all quick to react, just as with the rest of the pack. Ahnasha conjured a bow, which, while not useful in this building, could help once outside. Kaleeth had already been walking towards her weapons when Meesei was attacked, so she ran to her sword and shield, then ran to the door to give chase. Lorag, meanwhile, did not even bother to run for his hammer. He was already wearing his steel armor, which was all that he figured he needed. He was among the first out the door after Ra'maranja's group fled, and was able to catch up with one of them. The Suthay that Uthri had delayed was in the back of the group, and as Lorag rounded the corner to get outside, she tried to surprise him with her blade. Unfortunately for her, Lorag was simply able to hold up his arm, causing the blade to bounce uselessly off of the steel plate. With his free hand, he grabbed the Khajiit by the throat, then forced her off of the edge of the platform, down to her death below. 

Despite Meesei's command, Irenya took it upon herself to use her own independent judgment. With everyone else running after Ra'maranja, she would be more useful staying to help contain the fire with frost magic, and to heal the Champion once it was safe.

Peiter yelped and howled with the pain of having the arrow ripped from his body, but he knew it was necessary. It gave him more time before he would need to be treated, but he still could not run forever. The silver would slow his healing, so he was bleeding from multiple wounds. Unfortunately, there was no time to deal with that now. It sounded like the enemy was closing in, and much more quickly than he would have expected. It was possible that, after he and Sabine had started to turn directions, the enemy had guessed that they were trying to stay close to their pack, and had taken a shorter path in an attempt to head them off. This Cathay-raht seemed to be strong, capable, and evidently intelligent. 

Despite his pain, Peiter ran as fast as he could alongside Sabine. They had to not only put distance between themselves and the enemy, but also figure out how to lose them entirely. They could outrun them easily, but it would not matter if they could not throw off their tracking. "I can't...run forever. We have to...lose them." He said.
