Shay didn't miss a step as she split off from the paladin and took the tunnel Falene ducked into. Questions such as 'why was she running from them?' were lost as Shay's ioun torch just barely kept Falene within range of her vision and the thief's concentration was on making this as short a chase as she could. While she could set her thoughts aside, the concentrated smell in the smaller tunnel was nigh unbearable--she was going to have to go for a hot bath with a whole bar of soap after this!<br/><br/>The thief sprinted after the maid. Shay kept her feet light, her boots doing much to keep her steps dry and grounded in the waste water, and it didn't take much for Shay to be right on Falene's heels. "Stop. Running!" Shay shouted at her. It was then, that Shay pounced, attempting to bring Falene down. Instead the maid eluded her grasp and Shay lost her balance, diving head first into the waste water and, in her surprise, managed to get a mouthful of the stuff. Sputtering to get the water out of her mouth, Shay looked down the tunnel. She picked herself up and knew she had to do something to help her close the gap. Standing where she was, Shay concentrated for a moment and cast a spell on herself, intoning the words, and suddenly her boots became winged in purple wings. She then took off running again, her speed dramatically increased.<br/><br/>If Shay's increased speed allowed the thief to turn the dying footsteps in the darkness into a Falene on the edge of her vision and to suddenly being at her heels again, Shay would try to pounce once more, and the added momentum would be all the thief need to slam into the back on the maid and end the chase.<br/><br/><hr/>Let me know if I did this right or not.<br/><br/>Round 1<br/>Run Check: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63959)<br/>Tackle: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63960)<br/><br/>Round 2<br/>One unit away?<br/>Move Action to get up<br/><em>Expeditious Retreat</em>+30 Feet to Movement Speed (3 of 6 1st level spells used)<br/><br/>Round 3<br/>Starting from two units away?
