The message Alric received in return was brief and to the point: "Already on my way."
He'd been in standby mode in case of something like this in the first place, honestly. Not something specifically like this, with the mansion going haywire, but it was always goddamn something, wasn't it?
He avoided the public areas of the building as he left it, moving fast and sticking to the more disused areas with lighter security -- as he passed by, he could see others gathering students there. Good.
When his path took him out a side door and into the open, he had to be more cautious about how he approached his gathering team. He took a detour to crush the barrel of a dart gun, then ran to join them.
"Alric, return fire, do what you can to take down the weapons. Tiamaris, if you can change now, do it. Fly to the forest, bring us some trees, we'll make cover for people to attack from behind. Move." His voice was sharp, but it didn't betray a single hint of distress, as if he had everything completely under control.
