Chapter 37 - Rescue
Scene: Meanwhile, Astrin and Cessi have made their way outside to find two goblins lying before them.

Astrin: Aelyn! Always leaving her messes lying around.
-
Cessi: What do we do now? There’s no where left to go, just ocean.
Astrin: Not exactly, right on time.
-
Scene: Just as she was speaking, a sailboat came around the bend, as it got to the stairs, two elves jumped out to bring the boat in. While they held it, Astrin carefully placed Ethan in the boat while Cessi climbed in after and placed his head on her lap. Astrin then ran back up to the entrance.

Ellia: Esmy no time, run!
-
Scene: As most of the group runs up the stairs to the exit, Esmy turns and shoots one of the goblins trying to cut off their path by pulling the gate lever. After seeing the goblin taken out, the orc stops and grabs the lever.

Ellia: Run Esmy!

Scene: Esmy then races towards the stairs as the orc pulls the lever. Just before it slams down, Esmy slides under it.

Scene: Astrin then shot him in the chest. As he roared with pain, Esmy also shot another arrow in his chest. Ellia turned and yelled to them.

Ellia: Everyone is onboard. We’ve got to go!
-
Scene: The three of them raced down the stairs and jumped into the boat. Just then the orc came roaring out through the doors, but just before he got to the stairs, he was shot a third time in the head by Merra. They all then sailed away from the fortress.
