She runs down the corridor, sliding the door shut behind her.  Aiken once again only sees wall, though he thinks he could probably re-open the passageway if need be.  He can hear the sounds of footsteps up above, and the sounds of men shouting.  "Get the bastards!" one man screams out.***Pendrake and Cepheus make their way towards Aiken, and come in just as the woman flees.  Aiken turns to see them, and then looks back at Hukk.  The little boy is curled up against one wall, before sliding up to stand.  While you know Hukk is over the age of ten, he looks much younger just now.  Still silent, Hukk steps up to the party, and absently pats Cepheus on the head."Tomas is at the docks.  And Riffer is going to talk to him before the other thieves can hurt him.  That's what he told me.  We should go.  Bad men are upstairs."***Solange makes her way behind some cover - a lantern post on a street corner.  With her crossbow shaking in her hands, she spots the sniper in the window - a man who has seen Solange, but is still intent on firing at the priests.  She can pull of a shot, but it'll be a difficult one, as the sniper has some protection from the window frame.The woozy guardsman falls to the ground, clutching his head.  The wounded priestess hides behind an abandoned cart, and starts pulling out strips of cloth from her satchel.  She catches Solange's eye, and gives a fierce smile that doesn't hide the terror in her eyes.  She pulls the arrow out of her leg with a yelp, and then starts binding her foot.</blockquote>
