The fact that Aarnr has effectively halved the number of assailants seems to have little effect on the remaining five. Still they advance, crossing the stream without disturbing the water, with their hands outstretched like claws, and dark vapour seeming to boil off them. The air grows perceptibly cooler as they approach...
Arkan, his eyesight slowly clearing, moves closer to the white blur that he believes to be Eilieen, an casts a spell which doe not require keen vision to locate a target. A faint shimmering appears in the air before him.
Again the polychromatic light bursts out, this time washing over the enemy as they step up onto the near bank of the stream. The low, sibilant voices are replaced by wails and three of the figures seem to freeze in place before beginning to wander almost randomly.
Colwyn hurls his silvered knife, to no effect.
"Oh, nadgers!" he curses, and makes a mental note to retrieve the weapon later...
The wildly swinging
Valkyria, wielded as it is by one unused to swordplay, passes over what might be assumed to be the head of one of the creatures, and bites into the trunk of a nearby birch, where it sits fast for the moment.
Bilfro's adversary claws at him, but the mage steps back half a pace, which is as far as he can move while still keeping his grip on his stuck weapon. Still, it is enough for him to avoid the creature's touch... and Valkyria shifts a little where it is stuck in the tree.
The other still-active enemy reaches for Aarnr, but is perhaps distracted by the hate filled eyes of the priest of Bowbe, so its attack falls short of its mark. Aarnr lashes out in response, and watches as his heavy blade cleaves through the thing... only to see that it has no effect, as the ragged gash across the torso seems to knit closed immediately.
Close to Arkan, Eilieen shakes her head slowly, trying to restore her sight...
