Zul decides to head up the stairs towards Akis, then double back on the higher level towards the Great Viaduct. As she leaps up with first broad flight of stone steps her fastest pursuer reaches her. Zul pretends to stumble, then spins on her back to face him, attempting to thrust-kick him in the chest. She doesn't quite time it right, and the goon, although knocked back, manages to retain his footing, and doesn't go tumbling down the steps as she'd intended. However, it's enough to give her the chance to sprint up the steps and into the next street. At the top of the steps she dodges past a power-waggon grinding uphill, which then has to brake and swerve to avoid running down the lead goon. With a sufficient lead on them, she makes it to Rotemdol's training ground unhindered. -- Tim Hall, http://www.kalyr.com Read my blog! http://www.kalyr.com/weblog
