A hole in the wall? Well that was convenient enough, if not the best way into the city. From the sounds of the guy coming through (and on the other side, for that matter), he was being chased by multiple people. Probably waiting in ambush on the other side. If they were smart, they wouldn't come through. As if confirming this, Elisa heard one of them say "I heard voices on the other side."
So, lying in wait may or may not accomplish much. Charging through was stupid. What then... Elisa looked up the wall. Shoddy stonework, especially when a hole could so easily be blown in it. Rough enough to provide plenty of handholds. Not insurmountably tall, at that. She glanced back towards the others, noticing Nikang demanding for her attention and motioning out something like the idea she'd just got...except not quite. No, she wasn't going to use the pegasus for anything.
Shaking her head, Elisa slung her axe back over her back, then hopped up onto the wall. She climbed as quickly and quietly as she could, until she could heft herself up and peek over the top. Down below, she could see ten or so soldiers. While some of them were off to the side and speaking in hushed tones, the rest were standing to either side of the hole, weapons drawn and lying in wait for any of the bandits to come through. Fortunately, they were focused enough on the hole that none of them bothered to look for anyone coming over the top.
Turning back towards the ground on her side, Elisa secured her grip with one hand, then held the other out behind her. She opened it twice, then motioned out two vertical lines. Finally, she expressed her intent with a quick throwing motion, then drew one of her tomahawks and hefted herself back over the top. She took quick aim at one of the soldiers lying in ambush and threw the tomahawk downward, nailing the man at the base of the neck.
Hopefully, that would disrupt them enough for the others to get through. If not, she'd just have to resort to fireballs.
