They can't tell how much damage they're doing, but they can almost imagine 1's ticking down. And then the dog rolls away... taking the blade with it, still embedded before they could withdraw it.
Still, at least they themself are free, and they still have the stake. And the dog is having difficulty moving.
The cloth is thick, but not invulnerable; it's designed to insulate castle walls, not withstand continuous arcs of electricity. There's the distinct scent of smoke curling from it, and unlike the door it might just catch fire. Still, the more it chars, the less effective it is as an entrapping tangle.
This time, Chara makes the smart choice. They run. The tower door unfortunately only bolts from the inside, but they slam it shut to give them just a little more time before they race down the stairs, their breath coming in ragged puffs, straining their hearing for any sound of pursuit above their footsteps. They need to find solid ground, and an advantage.
