Realizing that this force of kender is strong, and he alone can not take them, the Gryphon looks at each one in turn, having closed the gap enough so that he can have a good view. The forces are clearly mighty, too mighty for him alone to be a threat. Finished looking at him, he does a double-take at the nameless kender, recognition in his eyes, but not believing what he saw. Then, he flies off southward(The direction you kender are going, by the way), speed slowed by Noelle's spell. Now, the threats have diminished, but the kender still have the mystery of what the heck to do alone in a town that people clearly live in, but everyone is hiding in, especially when a boat is required to get to southern ergoth.
