Elissa kept her back to his, knowing they could better fend for themselves if they could cover the entire circumference of their fighting range and keep any foe from venturing too close. It was difficult to stay in that circle, as she stepped out often enough to engage one or two and push them back, but she always came back to her place, not wanting to expose either of them for very long.

She didn't look back when he called to her, taking one more head off while she had the chance. "I'm right behind you," she called and when she turned her head, she saw him throw. She was hot on his heels as he moved, never slowing longer than it took to push one of them out of her way. Occasionally, she swiped her blades out only to take off the hands that tried to grab her, leaving them somewhat helpless to cause too much damage.

Once they reached the smoke, she rushed into it, finally coming up beside Duncan. Past the cloud, the path was a little more clear, but she could spot the throng of undead just before the doors of the Hold in the distance.
