Chaos and panic dominate the group's reaction to the shattering stone and threat. Overlapping screams and yells to retreat back up top as they quickly flee (as quickly as they can while being blinded, anyway). If you were to follow them, you would see them hurriedly returning up the hole in the mud room, making no attempt to stop you or to hide their immediate fear.
That said, you don't get the sense the whole company up top is packing up or anything, so you might have just bought yourselves some time, but you haven't accomplished a full retreat or anything like that.
You do have a couple minutes still to device a strategy, esp. as Dax goes and comes back for the two orbs.
Addendum: if you stick around for those couple minutes, Dax gets the sense that you are being scryed upon, and you should all make difficulty 4 Intellect defenses. -- bss (Brian S. Stephan) | https://bss.zone/ | GPG: 0x80895FCB
