She makes it out

Taenya continued her way along the now pitch black passage, reaching out with her hands along the wall, she could hear the footsteps coming behind her and she was sure there were more than one set of footsteps coming up behind her. She quickens her pace pushing on into the darkness., her bare feet nearly tripping on the uneven stone floor. Thankfully she saw a faint pale blue light ahead of her, she was nearly out, she rushed towards the light as it slowly got bigger and bigger, the cool wind of the outside world blowing in against her face. Her heart skipped a beat as she stepped out onto the soft grass and looked up at the night sky, she turned back towards the village and saw the soft orange glow of the village burning in the distance. She heard yelling coming from inside the passageway.

Taenya turned and rushed off following the river, her bare feet leaving footprints in the soft mud of the river banks. As she continued along she noticed she was heading towards a small forested area, there was a faint trail of smoke visible above the trees, clearly there had to be people over there, maybe adventurers camping out, or a trading caravan, either way they could help her. Of course there was a chance this was where the Orcs were camped out and running over there could lead her straight into their hands.

of course she could continue down the river it would eventually take her down to the neighbouring village of Tiran, it would take her longer to get there but at least she knew the people in the village were helpful and would come to her aid.
