There was a sudden noise beyond from the trees to their left. They all tensed. Mornovarion looked around wildly.
Suddenly, large bat-like creatures, the size of hounds, came swooping towards them. Tinuiel aimed at one creature, re-notching another arrow even as the first hit its target. Novannon, too had her bow on the ready as Rûdhchamion had released his first arrow, piercing another creature’s neck.
Anarya kept low with her own blade out and ready. With elven speed she barely avoided one creature, as it dived towards her. She was able to throw her knife, wounding it. Novannon finished the creature off with an arrow through its back. Anarya quickly retrieved her blade, getting ready for another attack.
Mornovarion was trying to ward off two other bat-like creatures with his own knife. One was able to scratch him across the face, forcing the elf off balance. As Rûdhchamion was about to give aid, but as he took aim, he too was assailed by another monstrous bat which bit him on the shoulder. He was able to take hold of the bat and pull it off. As the thing fell, an arrow from Novannon made sure it would never fly again.
