45 Just A Humble Otherworlder

"Run faster!" Malia shouted as she heard the Crawlers' roars rapidly approaching.

Apparently not all the monsters had pulled up to Ballabyne.

Unlike Malia and Ikaris he was not a super athlete. Zaos clearly had Drow blood in his veins and therefore benefited from the reputed Elven nimbleness. The soldier was also a First Class Body Apprentice Sorcerer about to be promoted and his physical attributes were excellent.
