The foul creatures rush forward hungrily, slaver dripping from their jaws, unfazed by your readied weapons. As they near, Ragnok, Coraine and Otto burst into action. A powerful blow from Ragnok’s heavy axe drops one to the cold stone floor, and a similar blow from Coraine’s axe opens a wide slash across a second ghoul. Otto, having moved forward to help form a line almost drops his blade as one of the creatures closes on him, but manages to recover and puncture a small hole in the creature with his thin rapier. A second blow from Coraine drops another of the ghouls, and Ragnok’s axe slashes in at the creature nearest Otto.
While Dara casts a spell and Marco calls upon his dark knowledge to aid his companions against the unnatural foes, Verdis fires off a heavy bolt from his crossbow, dropping another of the beasts to the ground.
The last creature attempts to bite Coraine, but fails to penetrate his armor. It goes down quickly from combined blows from Dara, Ragnok and Coraine.
