Liath gives a start as the person in front of her reaches back to touch her hand, but then recalls that others don't see as well in the gloom as she does. Keeping silent so as not to give away their position to the trailing Hellknights, she reaches back in turn to help guide the one behind.

[sblock=OOC]Content to keep moving so long as the Hellknights are unaware of our location (except in general terms) and aren't attacking.[/sblock]

"You'll feel my fist if you don't stay quiet," growls Anundr, his voice as low as possible.

Fresh out of creative tactics to delay the Hellknights, Suzume stays close to the person in front of him and tries to be quiet. He puts away his blade for now seeing it as more dangerous to his nearby near-blind companions than to the distant Hellknights.

The Sewers

Janiven leads the group along in darkness and even though there is a feeling of uncertainty and uncomfortable tactile contact, the visual certainty of Hellknights being behind them and wholly unaware of the group's location, trumps the unease. Soon, those who can see well in the dark see a room open up to the right and further along the hallway turns right. Janiven moves into the room and beckons the others to do the same.

Dru follows along as requested.

Anundr enters the room, looking around as best he can in the dim light.

Suzume follows to the room keeping a sharp eye on their trail for Hellknights.

Liath moves into the room in her turn, as well.
