This is certainly not what Alaedra was hoping to see. She wonders, hopes, really, if acting quick enough will get her down and into that pipe. This is such a bad situation overall; Alaedra usually counts on the wizards or priestesses to have some idea about strange creatures, and now here she is, with no idea if her weapons would stand any chance of being effective.<br/><br/>Deciding to just go for it, as she's no idea if the other two things are still on her heels or not, Alaedra breaks straight for the hatch. All she really wants to do is get it open and get it, as it certainly seems too large for this monstrosity before her. She won't fight unless she has to, like if the hatch is too tough to open.
