Spritewing gallops toward the chute preparing to fly up in a minimum time so the wings don't get fouled up in narrow space.
The mass of the Wizard actually helps once he gallops vertically, the stone keeps him pressed into the wall for crucial moment while it changes directions and the pegasus holds the wings protectively flared around the stone.
Once he feels the weight is off, a powerful beat propels him up, although now the statue means he has to beat twice to counteract the drag of the inert weight.
He yells in dwarven as soon as he gets close "Friend incoming!"
Once he clears the entrance, still in dwarven.
"The Exemplars are in fighting retreat, there are monsters and undead. Go get the priests and wizards!
And get this wizard off me, quickly, just cut the ropes and put it somewhere stable. The spell won't last long."
He looks at the guards.
"Move!"
Spritewing finds that there are three guards on duty in the guard house. Two are guarding the entryway into the room where Spritewing emerges from the room below. At first, he thinks they might move to block him, but instead, one of them shouts out to the other man in the room.
"Sergeant Griffith, it's the pegasus!"
"I can see and hear that, Mr. Halle." Another man where the uniform of an Elite specialist sits in a chair next to the archway leading to the entrance of the guard post. "Go tell your commander that the Exemplars are returning and that we have unwanted guests."
"Mr. Masson, it seems they have saved the wizard who was turned to stone." The man stands and speaks directly to Spritewing in
perfect Dwarven.
"I am Théotime Griffith. Delwyn and I will help get the wizard free. Hmm, levitation, I see. We will try to find a place for him that is out of the way."
He seamlessly switches back to Cliffspeak. "Mr. Halle, tell the two Elites out front to go inform Lord Commander Oakfirst at The Palace. And have one of them find Lady Émilienne or Captain de la Camoys. Monsters and undead might soon be besieging us."
OOC: I will be rolling Initiative rolls for all the guards stationed at the guard house.
While Vitus considers bringing the true power of his god to bear on the undead, he knows better and, instead, still clutching the unconscious woman, runs as fast as his feet will bring him.
Making it to the ladder, he yells up,
"QUICK, WE'RE under attack! Get some archers and cover our retreat! And I need help bringing her up the ladder!
He says, trying to lift her up over his shoulder.

The Knight, Custodio, Vincenzo @ScottDeWar_jr and rockhorn @MetaVoid and Tymbeck all get 1 hp.
ACTIONS:
Doing a full run. I'm not sure what the dragging rules are. I can't lift her and move more than 5 feet BUT I can drag 5 times my own weight, so that's what Vitas does.
His movement 40 feet X4 is 120feet so he'll stop just south of the ladder so that he's not in the way of anyone trying to get past.
If you feel he's dragging "a heavy Load"
His movement is 30 feet X3 for a run which puts him directly under the ladder. Assume his shield is sheathed from the previous round.
Edit: Using Glorius to add +2 to AC but I lose 2 DEX AC from running: Current AC :22

Vitus is able to drag the unconscious Loyalist, Lithia, away from the battle without too much much difficulty. When he yells up towards the ladder, at first, there is no response. Then a calm voice shouts out to him. "The pegasus has warned us. We need to help him with the wizard first."
"Mr. Sourd and Ms. Aldenberg are still on duty down there. Captain Rodove thought it best to have a few friendly faces there to help you when you returned. The captain is on patrol right now with the rest of the Elites."
OOC: I need to roll initiative for both of the Elites stationed in the lower rooms.
