Dio looks at Hammett and thinks for a while.
"I would not know how we can know for certain. Moving up and down is going to be the death of us. Better to keep moving and pray."
She looks back to the General the Sword and Entropy to check where they are. Then turning back to speak to Hammett
"We followed Vada from Cairo to here though, so chances are she is ahead of us."
She walks closer behind him and in softer tone says "We were with seven. I don't know how we will fight her and win."

"I've got three more with me that can fight. Possibly one more if we can free our friend from her grasp and he is in a good enough condition to join in the battle. But I have tangled with some of her minions before and did not do well. Even all of us working together might not be enough."

Trying to walk as close behind Hammett as she can so the other won't overhear them she says "I have battled one of the demons it took two of us to kill it. And i burned down the library while fighting it. It killed my other companion. "
She shows her burns of the horrible green radiant stuff that was there which ahd burned her feet and hands ((assuming it hasn't healed yet))
"I do not know what the plan is. They don't tell me but know when they find out about your allegiance they might turn quickly on you. YOu have been polite and decent with me so i wanted to warn you."
She quickly adds. "i am sorry if i am forced to attack you."
Then she falsl in place again a few steps back and speaks louder.
"If we keep this pace up we will be there soon. Keep a good footing on the ground!"
Dio points out now and then possible slippery or loose areas not to step.

"Thank you. I hope it won't come to that. If it does, trust me, I won't want to fight you either. I have no idea how this will all turn out, but it appears that you are not in this situation of your own choice or control. If this ends without violence between our two groups, and if you ever do manage to get away from those who are controlling you, make your way to Wormwood's. It is a club. People know of it across shadows, so you should be able to find a way to get to it. If you do, you'll be safe there, assuming I'm still alive."

Stepping up closer again to Hammett she lays a hand on his back. FOr those behind her it might seem she is pushing Hammett ushering him on. SHe leans in
"Thank you for the kind offer Sir, but i accepted to be summoned. Thought it to be better then the convent i grew up in. How wrong i was.
As punishment i will die here. But by miracle might i survive. I will find you. Unless mother superior finds me again. At least i can then tell how someone other described cruel Prince Julian to me."
She then pulls back her hand and keeps on marching through the snow.

They continue forward. The whispered voices sound from all around them, beckoning them off the ledge on either side of the path. From ahead they hear maniacal laughter and shouting.

Listening not to the voices but to the laughter and shouting she turns carefully not to slip.
"People in front of us. Don't know who yet."
She tries to make herself heard over the winds to the people back.
She then touches the shoulder of Hammett
"Your friends i assume? Will they react violently towards me and my companions?"

"They won't, unless they are attacked on sight."
He pushes forward even quicker, sword up and ready, as maniacal laughter was never a good thing.

A short and simple "ah i see" escapes her. She doesn't know how her companions will react. She does not know if the friends of Hammett are recognizable as Amberites or such.
She keeps the pace of Hammett checking back if the rest follows.

Her three companions follow close behind, seemingly with a second wind and eager for battle. The winds begin to die down, and the snows swirl less about them. Hammett has nearly reached Pinky, who stands behind Lorelei, who stands behind Brian. In front of them are two people, one man in tattered silk clothing, the other in burnt rags. These two men are connected by an iron chain running between iron collars. They arrive in time to learn that the laughing and yelling come from the burnt man.
