OOC: Just thought I'd mention, though I don't really expect anyone to remember these kinds of things, but Hembar removed the feathers earlier to avoid being too conspicuous.

IC:

Thinking quickly as she descended down the elevator, Hembar heard the noises from above of the people reacting to her disappearance. She heard loud metallic footsteps and then the robot she'd sensed outside the room (RG) leapt onto the lift cables and started sliding down towards her.

This might complicate things, but nevermind - she was on the defensive now so she was confident she could handle anything the robot could throw at her, for a limited time at least. And anyway, they had nearly reached the bottom.

Considering her options briefly, she decided the best move was to leave the elevator as soon as there was enough room for her to get off it onto the floor below - if she waited until it reached the ground the robot might have caught up to her, and it's weapon was holstered so she could probably get out of its line of sight before it was ready to fire.

Timing it carefully, she waited until the elevator had descended enough that the opening to the next room was just visible, then dived under the edge, dropping to the floor of the next room. She looked quickly around the area, noticing a lot of controls for pumping equipment. Pumping equipment - that would mean pipes. She looked up, and sure enough there was a system of piping running through the ceiling.

Excellent, she thought. She leapt towards the roof, her feet glowing dimly with mystical power, and grabbed hold of a pipe. Then, swinging herself around on top of them, she waited in silence, knowing the robot would only be seconds behind her.

She doubted it'd be a very effective place to hide as such, from a robot, but she hoped the pipes would stop it from just firing at her.

OOC: If anyone has any problem with this just say so and I'll change it.
