*Tandi is able to lay her hands on the creature that was once a halfling easily enough, but it manages to wriggle from her grasp before she can get it in a good grapple. Also, the sand bites her particularly fiercely for daring to close in so near to its master.*
*Meanwhile, the creature grins and opens its jagged maw wide, sharp teeth splayed and dripping blood as it whirls its scimitars like a whirlwind, attacking all in reach. Cade dodges the attack meant for him and uses his skill at mounted combat to protect Alton, but the blow against Thurgan connects and slices him for minor damage. Tandi nimbly rolls away from the blow, but the man with the silver dagger is hit and combined with the sand from before is now greatly injured.*
*The woman with the light blue eyes furrows her brows and concentrates, and the halfling reels back as if struck.*
*The healer girl moves over to another of the injured, this one inside the sand's area and thus in grave danger, and shakes with exhaustion, managing to heal him from the brink so he can stagger out and avoid death.*
*Another of the desert people is injured enough that he also tries to fire a bow from a distance, and he also misses badly.*
