Post is up and a bit crazy, but basically, civilans are being escorted out of the dome, which covers the entire area, it's mostly dark except for the sanctuary and the spears, as I'm sure a few survived the attack(hopefully). Nidhogg possibly gave the creature an advantage with the darkness, but considering whose getting involved, I think the creature needs somebody on it's side, if only to prolong the action. Everybody involved should be inside, and the only who would be escorted with the civvies would be Jasmine, though she can come back in if she wished, as the bone will allow a living person to phase through it, though only at the interval of one per minute. so the Rune Knights will be delayed a just a bit.

Also,[@Natsume Honnaji] messed up your mention the first time.
