The man was fleeing at a fast pace, moving through the streets with a pace that was hard to even try to match. He clearly knew how to run, and he shoved boxes resting against a wall in the way, kicked a rainwater barrel to tip and roll over. Slammed a stick at an oil-lamp in front of a door to the back of some building, running.<br/><br/>The side alleys were covered with metal spiked curtain walls, keeping the back isolated. The runt gained distance, and though Gabriel could hear the whinying of his horse, it was on a street, not able to enter the alleyway.<br/><br/>Soon however the road ended to a wall. The boy looked back at Gabriel and grimaced, as the man was catching up to him. With a short chant, the man slammed his foot to the wall, and then began<em>running up</em>along it, rising to second, and third floor, and onto the roof. Continuing ahead, he left Gabriel alone in the alley, facing a dead end.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The man moved with a base speed of 35 feet all the time, and I might give a chance to roll a 'spellcraft' check on what just happened, but the guy ran up 30 feet of a wall and got onto a roof at the end. The alley lies between 2 rows of buildings, a street on both sides, the spaces between buildings are unfortunately covered with iron spike walls there, perhaps to not let thieves into the backyards of those businesses. There's a few clotheslines spread at the second and third floor heights from the looks of it, as well as a gate, at the <em>other end</em> of that alley. The gate looks like its locked securely, with a chain around it. The boxes at the alley might be supplies to various stores that are cheap enough to be just stored outside if the shops are full in their storage inside.</div></div>
