Once the fighting died down, Gallus knelt down by Peiter and leaned his hands on the bottom of Uthri's bloodied hatchet standing on the ground. Be was catching his breath, but Ri'vashi's words made him purse his lips and furrow his brow. He peered up at the crumbling keep and found only worse news.

"If we're trapped here, they can strike at the camp. They'll get our wounded and our camp followers." Gallus spoke quickly to Ri'nakhad, "What's worse..." Gallus pointed to the gas, "everyone needs to get out of the courtyard. That gas kills lycans. We need to move."

After putting his shield away, retrieving his hammer, and giving the hatchet back, Gallus leaned over Peiter. Once he was satisfied that he could move Peiter without killing him, lifted him over his shoulders. "Can't we open the gate normally? How did it get closed?"

Without prompt, Fendros put away his own weapons and scooped up Meesei behind the shoulders and knees to move her. "There's that scaffolding around the expansion, isn't there? Ahnasha got in that way. Maybe we could get out?"

Sabine hovered around Gallus as he carried Peiter, continuing to whine softly.
