The creature was grabbing at Shedrick with its claw-like hand. While Croc Jon thundered down the creaky steps, Kaliban leaped over and telekinetically lifted the lad away, placing him safely near the open front door. The creature looked about in dismay and shrieked - the chilling sound like a woman in distress. It ducked as Hawthorne fired a crossbow bolt from the top of the stairs (it was more a warning shot than an attempt to harm the thing) and as it found itself increasingly surrounded, it stepped back into the shadows under the stairs, folding them around itself.Suddenly, it was by Shedrick again, in the shadow of the front door. Thankfully, instead of grabbing at the lad, who now had his sword out, it ducked away from him and out the door, but it was obviously distressed by the daylight, and it covered its face with a malformed arm and stumbled on the stoop while making shrieking noises.</blockquote>
