OOC: My bad, Toric. I thought you meant to pick her up to her feet to walk, since she was kneeling in the rubble.
Lodric pushes to the front, grimacing against the pain. Beside him, Valurel carries Aislinn, the young girl silent but scared. Behind, Fallax and Kaela move uncertainly, Kaela burdened by pain, Fallax by age. The Heroes move quickly down the dark alleyway. The warm wind blows strongly down the alleyway, pushing the Heroes on. Dodging past old crates and other less wholesome debris, the Heroes seek to lose themselves in the darkness. Ahead, the alleyway continues but is split by a dimly lit cross-street. From the north (the Heroes left) arm of the cross-street comes raucous laughter and cheap music. The two-story buildings standing over the Heroes look like homes, although several might be small fish or trinket vendors. The buildings are mostly dark, although the occassional window spills a faint yellow light into the night.
The Wolf runs along with Starhl as the Northman pushes through the stone rubble and cracked timbers of the building. Turning eastward, he quickly catches up with the Heroes as they pause at the cross-street.
Herger, steps back into the building and pushes at the doorframe. With a crack, a side wall spills out, leaving the ground strewn with worm-ridden wooden slats and rusted nails.
Raa! The big one is trying to bring down the building. You three swing around the other side! We will follow here! And take the tracker with you! Again the ugly blat of an orc horn goes up in the night.
Hobnailed boots ring out on the alley boards as the orcs run west toward the lighted street that they originated from. In front of Herger, lost in the fog, several orcs scramble over the downed wall. Smiling at the thought of the orcs tripping and cursing in the alley, Herger turns and runs through the building, hoping to catch up with the Heroes soon.
