"This is ridiculus. We don't have time for this. We should go back to the common room, and meet back up with Angalos. Maybe he found something since we haven't." Jadae spoke up, and glared at the mountain Elf. They'd leave this room somehow, despite the trouble given them by the woman.

Jadae turned to look at the shaft she and Arethin had come from. They could backtrack into the smithy, then through the ducts and find the common room. Jadae hoped there was an easier way to get out. Hobbling over to an opening in the floor that was connected to a rope, Jadae wondered if it would be their escape route.

"There's no exit that way, Jadae," Jack called to the girl. Jadae frowned and looked around the room. Along the west wall of the chamber was an old wooden door. Jadae sighed when she noticed the elf woman shuffling slowly to bar the doorway. Apparantly she didn't want to give the intruders leave to roam her home.

"Let us go," Jadae ordered gently as she hopped over to the woman. Jadae was rewarded with a slight sting in her leg as she came closer to the strange mountain elf. The elf showed no intention of letting the four go freely.

Jadae drew her dagger, and at this Jack and Anuion drew their weapons. Arethin was prepared to draw his weapon, but wouldn't until necessary. Jadae opened her mouth to speak again, but didn't. Instead, she threw the dragon miniature at the Elf woman. She ducked, and at this hesitation Jadae sprang forward and shoved the girl away from the door. She opened the door, and Jack, Anuion, and Arethin sprinted through the doorway. Jadae went last, and slammed the door shut, leaving the Elf woman inside to bang on the door and open it again.

"Erm...someone hand me a candle!" Jadae cried, and someone, though she wasn't sure who, threw a white candle at her. She picked it up from the ground after it bounced off her neck, and shoved it through the doorhandles, in hopes to keep the door shut.

"A candle!?" Anuion asked, and raised an eyebrow. Jadae smiled.

"You have no idea how Emmy makes her candles. It'll hold, but not for long. Besides, she knows the ways out. Let's go, to the common room!" Jadae called, and the group raced through the hallway, and down some stairs. After the stairs, Jack, who was in the front of the group, suddenly grunted and fell over. He had again tripped over the dusty, spidery couches of the common room.

"Now we only have to wait for Angalos," Arethin said, and carefully hopped over the old couches. "Thanks for the warning, Jack."
