((Sorry, fuzzy brain when I replied. I was just trying to explain...Alaedra doesn't want to corner herself, so going into a room with no exits is not the plan. She wants to head away from the beastie, and keep heading away, since it's much slower than she is. Alaedra will basically take whichever route best fits those two parameters, to the best of her knowledge. At this point, it kind of sound like heading down, closer to ground level, is the best option. That make sense?  :)))
