To the left or too the right?
In the first two scenes outside Vermithrax's lair the procession runs away straight ahead and to the left. It's easy to see when the dragon attacks the first maiden that there's a solid rock wall to the right. So they had to run back the way they came. But during the third scene, where Galen attempts to prevent Elspeth's sacrifice, everyone runs immediately to the right... presumably all of them running face first into the rock wall.
