As rurik lands another hit on "his" bat, it screams in pain and flutters away down into the darkness below the group. Meanwhile, brother E makes a largly futile series of kicks against the bat attacking the horses, serving only to turn its attention on him. Luckily he nimbly evades its fangs. Atrax sets forward and heals Rurik with the wand, returning 6 of the dwarf's hit points. Andrew takes Atrax's advice and moves over to scopp up the dropped torch. Unfortunately, the bat he was fighting takes advantage of this moment to bite him deeply on the shoulder. He stays standing, torch in hand, but is clearly badly wounded.
Rainca is unable to land a blow on "her" bat, but her distraction gives the construct the opening to score a hit. When skeeter also strikes home and the construct disapears, the bat takes that opening around it to flee down the hill after its companion.
