>You see a flourish of what is definitely Midnighter's cloak, metal reflecting in the light; the sound of two metallic things hitting each other, and what seems to be a dagger flipping away in a random direction, then more motion.

>Being close to one side of the building, you take off running around it, following the road.
>Past the shopping center, you can see a few rows of storage units, fenced off by chain link fences, and a little side ride leading off from the rather small two-lane main road, leading off into what seems like a woodsy neighborhood.

>You look around, and see motion! There's Archer, hopping atop a line of storage units. No sign of Midnighter, but surely he is closeby.

>Could we use Wall or a similar spell in our repertoire to elevate the ground under our feet and make getting over the fence easier... or just bypass (i.e. rip a hole in the links or pull them up) it altogether?
>Or is it just easier to climb instead of cheat?

Stylishness or resource saving...? What a choice.

>We'll just save resources for now and go around, since Archer is already out of sight.

>You dash around the fence as Archer runs off into the distance. Ahead is what you assume is the storage yard office, and some trees, which Archer has just disappeared around.
>"I'm on him!" she says through the phone. "He's slippery, but not slippery enough!"
