Like it or not, Evelyn needed to think tactically here. She knew trying to play the hero would just get her....well, it probably wouldn't get her killed. There were definitely fates far worse than death. She was a little luckier than the residents of this island though, who were almost certainly unprepared for something of this magnitude. And...there was no one now who could help them, was there? That was the realization that Evelyn was struggling with as she ran, wrestling with her thoughts even as she hurried towards Master Gandrev's place. She knew, knew in her heart that there was no choice at all. She needed to make her escape, to preserve the tiniest of sparks of hope that the world might be kept from falling into darkness. This was the terrible choice that a general might make, to sacrifice their own troops so that victory could be claimed. If she thought for one moment that sacrificing herself to Tenebrax might stop all this, Evelyn wouldn't even hesitate. But knowing that wasn't the case didn't help her feelings of shame and cowardice...no matter how right the decision was, she was abandoning these people to their grim fate.<br/><br/>She might have been a bit distracted but she still kept her main focus on her initial task at hand. Panting slightly with exertion she opted for a more circuitous route towards Gandrev's manor, intending to circle around slightly and hopefully avoid the worst of the incursion. It might take extra time, but she couldn't afford to get caught up in any fights, given that using her powers would very likely draw too much attention to her. The only blessing to this desperate race is that her mind is able to focus on the task ahead, and not her failures here at this island. She had been so close to being entrapped in debauchery...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Monster Avoiding</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rolls after advantage was 14</div></div>
