Description:
Emerald pulls out his focus and begins by trying to push the smoke out of the way. It works, but the smoke quickly fills back up the spot that was displaced by his magical energies.
Emerald does a push spell near the floor to find the small form, and once the smoke clears it is indeed Ruby. Emerald uses all his strength to drag Ruby back up the stairs. All at the same time he is also doing his best not to breath in the fumes, though he isn’t having too much success at that.
Luckily the smoke seems to be much denser than the air around it, as they emerge from it some way up the stairs, and it doesn’t seem to be making any attempt to follow them.
After gulping several lung fulls of fresh air Emerald checks on Ruby.
She is unconscious, but doesn’t seem hurt. In fact, to Emerald it doesn’t seem to him like she is anything other than asleep. A hypothesis helped by the fact that she let’s out a loud snore.
Emerald still feels a little woozy from the gas, but stares upwards to see if maybe Loupe was the blob near the entrance way. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere nearby however.
Emerald listens back down the stairs, and the fighting seems to still be going on.
