Gion was nearly as bloody as some of the dwarfs were, but he paid no attention to it. He skipped over them, cleaning the blood from his sword on his pants and sheathing it, heading over towards where the leader had been sleeping. If he was correct ...
He was. There, beside the bed, was a huge sack full of gold coins. He nodded to himself satisfactorily and heaved the sack over his shoulder, then headed back over to Donovan.
He dropped the sack on the ground at his feet, then straightened and signed, Take it. It's yours.

Donovan smirked, "Thanks, but first, finishing business," he muttered as he unstrapped the bag that he had tied closely to him incase they had to make a quick getaway.
He shoved the bag of gold into the runed bag before going to get his knives. As Donvoan cleaned them, he muttered the dispel command under his breath. It was quick and crisp being in his native tongue.
"Let's go before someone gets curious."

Gion nodded and half-grinned. He had just been about to suggest the same thing. He beckoned for Triton and Mia to go ahead of him, he would bring up the rear. At the same time he kept his sharp ears alert for any sounds of anyone approaching.
So far they seemed all right.

Triton nodded as he motioned for Mia to stay in the middle, she had done her bit and he wasn't about to have something happen to her at the last minute. even if his head told him that one should be more worried about those that would try and do something to Mia than Mia herself.
Now that the seals where dispel he could open the door with ease and with a sword still drawn he exited first and stood guard as the others filed out.

Mia hid the knife back into her dress, it was clean and the blood didn't bother her, there was a reason for dark clothes after all. With Alice in her arms she followed Triton out.

Donovan followed in suit, putting himself at the front. Hopefully they wouldn't be running into anyone on the way.
"Let's go," Donovan told them, "Nadya and Yue are probably wiating."
He was sure their task didn't take as long, if all else failed Nadya could just as Yue to give the person in question his ice glare as Donovan had dubbed it.

Gion nodded, eager to get out of the tunnels and into the fresh night air. He hoped the weather was still all right, though of course it didn't matter so much, since they were going to be taking a portal back to the Southland - hopefully right away.
He only hoped that Nadya was all right. He couldn't foresee any danger for her, but that didn't stop him from worrying.

Nadya and Yue were waiting back where they had left the others earlier. Nadya was wrapped in both her cloak and Gion's, as well as the blanket from her bag. As grateful as she was to Yue for helping to deal with the stubborn elven captain, she was now thoroughly chilled from the inside out.
"They're coming," she murmured softly, barely audibly, not seeing them but getting a strong feeling in her mind.

Triton nodded as they went back the way theiy came. It wasn't an easy time back, as he was still hyped up form the fight and tense that someone might spot them. The sooner they were area from this area the better he would feel, personally speaking.

Yue finished drawing the runes for the cave, he was glad to know they would all be arriving back. As long as it ended well that is all that mattered, well... he amended for those that get left behidn there would be a great mess to clean up but that was their problem from their sloppiness.
"The runes," he murmured as he finished, "Are done, provided they are not running from anyone, I will enter last to wipe the runes away."

The way back to the surface was as clear as it had been on their way down, and within a short time they were back on the outskirts of the settlement. They didn't see a living soul as they passed: everyone was asleep for the night.
Lucky thing, Gion reflected. As much as the adrenaline was still rushing through his veins, he didn't want to get into a scrape that they couldn't get out of, or bring any danger in Nadya's direction again.
And speaking of which, he could see her now, and Yue. He smiled as relief washed over him. They were safe, and nearly home now.

Nadya's eyes lit up as she saw the group approaching them, but she kept silent. Despite being so close to safetly, she wouldn't feel safe until they were at last home.
She hugged Gion tightly and looked at the others as they arrived behind them. "It went well," she murmured, though it was also a question.

"We're in one piece, I say it went well," Donovan replied back as he made sure everyone had everything they needed.
Going through the cave to make sure nothing got left behind and tossing Mia her pack so she wouldn't forget it. Who knew that junk she had stored in there anyhow?

Mia caught her bag as she slung it around her shoulder, "They're gone now," she murmured quite pleased with that, "Bad men...."
She wondered though what would happen to the people left now? Well, not like that was her concern at the moment, but maybe then Elnara's Mommy could also have some rest.
Yue activated the portal back with a nod, "Then we should leave, before questions are asked. We have assurance from the Captain he will check at first light, there will be questions more than before now."
He paused for a moment to make sure everyone had everything.
"This should lead back to through the carriage house door, I will be the last to enter."

At least it meant that they would get a bed before travelling back the to palace was the thought that rose to Triton's mind. It was also good for Nadya, she had tried the hardest out of all fo them to go thorugh with this.
