A pack of bipedal, white and a-meter-and-a-half-long creatures with stilt-like legs approach your party, drawn by the foreign sensations. Their posture is unnatural, with their arses high up in the air and perfectly round heads close to the ground, their circular mouths a gaping, toothless hole of red.
Drukalfar waits for no bad luck. He immiduately summons and hurdles shadow blades onto this creatures. Out of the four, two are killed instantly, while one is injured. The last one unharmed flees from the scene, dragging its teammate along and dissappears into the "woods", but not before letting out a threatening gargle at the party.
The sounds of the growth becomes louder. Various, equally alien, smaller animals immidiately move over onto the two corpses and the still-alive black hexapod, picking at the open injuries, bits of gore and sipping from the pools of blood to take their piece out of the pie.
Alfred, meanwhile, has been desperately trying to return to the elevators safety to no avail. He loudly curses, and slowly falls onto his knees in front of the door in defeat.
Suddenly- gurglegargle He turns to his right in pure terror to look at the source of the sounds.
Only then he notices that just a few meters away from him, at his right, was an another one of those white tilted creatures standing still and facing him. It is slowly approching at him, all the while sharply inhaling (sniffing) towards the food he is carrying. It clearly likes the smell.
Tric commands the dorf trio to take defensive position, summoning and then handing over them axes to fight with.
Only if they actually knew how to use these at all. Neither of the three has any experience fighting, and all they do is barge into the growths yelling in foolish courage, then screaming in terror, and then going silent.
Tric knows what that means, of course. He dares not state it outloud.
There are enemies here. The elevator is still away from sight. The inhabitants of the growth are coming closer, and bolder.
What do you do?
