Aelih vaguely hears the sounds of something coming from the north gate and gives a sigh “Of course. Wait, wasn’t that gate stuck? ...that doesn’t bode well.” Aelih gives a quick look around for any more skeletons, not seeing any, but seeing off a ways away... an orc? With... someone riding it? The hell?

Aelih looks over to Lui, remembering that the lantern she’s carrying was previously a quarterstaff, and slings the spear away [i]Waste of energy to enchant it...[/i] “In advance, sorry about this, but...” Aelih reaches over and picks up Lui with a grunt, lifting her over the shoulder not with the spearpoint sticking out “Time to go, and no offense but I’m going to assume I’m faster than you are.” With that, Aelih starts running off using the nearest clear path towards the west gates, avoiding the few skeletons out this far. “If anything gets too close, would you mind handling it? You seem a magey type, and I’m a bit busy to try and use my spear right now”
