Fiddle gathered nuts and berries along the sides of the road. He was also lucky with his sling, a full brace of conies. They ate well. And reestablished watches. Richter and Erin, Alya and Sully, Fiddle and Vlad, and Darian with the Sun. The next two days were also very uneventful. By the evening of the third day Sully had started to understand the play on words the others used in conversation. Vlad, Fiddle, and Erin in particular. Although, Alya was more subtle her words were no less whimsical. Her lute and Sully's flute seemed to find a harmony on watch. While they  quietly played another noise suddenly grew louder. A great many chittering insects or animals or....Fiddle woke with the sounds of battle. Alya had already cast her grease upon the ground, 8 small smelly creatures flailed or lay sprawled in the mess. Sully stood near to Fiddle. To his left 2 creatures where stunned. An odd assortment of color splashed across their fur. Richter, Darian, and Vlad were armed and engaged with more of the creatures. One hung limp on Richter's armor spikes. Erin stirred from his slumber with Fiddle. Both were ready for action.Fiddle sprinted to the stunned foes. His new sword cut thru the air. It struck a very vital place in the fur ball. Fiddle could only guess it was the creature's heart. Blood sprayed. Alya stood to the side firing her bow. One of the creatures fell. Erin moved on the only creature standing in the grease spot. The other creatures, though alive, had lost their footing. Erin punched the creature. Not the most solid of shots, but not much was needed to finish this one. Erin figured he would catch it on his return blow. The creature had other ideas. It dug its claws into Erin's neck. Luckily the Gods saw favor to grant the monk some health. Sully killed two of the greasepots with blasts of magic. Vlad, Richter, Darian, and Lathander's mace also soon decimated the numbers. Richter had a few more small scratches and dead bodies falling off his armor spikes.Fiddle pulled his dagger one way and his magic sword the other. The last stunned fellow fell. He wiped his blades.  Sully fired again into the grease. Two more stopped struggling. Alya, Erin, Vlad, Richter, Darian and Lathander's mace finished the creatures. Twenty in all."They are some form of Underdark scavengers," Alya said. "Gibberlings.""Is anyone hurt?" Fiddle asked as he pulled out his bandages."Let me," Darian replied. Erin had taken a serious blow. And Richter and Vlad were scratched but would heal soon enough.Fiddle followed the creatures path. It was very obvious. He quickly marked a tree with his dagger."I shall call you Lightning Strike," Fiddle said to his new sword.</blockquote>
