Author POV -
Maddie ran to her tent as soon as she saw the rogues approaching, she was sure they would be able to hold off what looked to be a group of what, 5 measly warriors? It didn't even cross her mind that they would be able to free those trapped in the cages, just as it did not cross her mind to question how they had found the place to begin with. Sure, that guy she had taken to her tent had escaped, but it had never occurred to her that they would work out that a witch was helping them in any way.
It never occurred to Maddie to wonder how they had gotten around the witch's spells in the first place. She knew a witch had spelled the area, she knew that those spells were meant to keep everyone out but as she had not left herself she did not know how it worked beyond that it had until she let someone escape. Now her priority was to escape, to get as far away from here as she could and to find Ace again.
