As the last two creaturess fell, Ayden felt the rush of battle quickly fade from his limbs, and in its place came the searing pain from the axe blow that his first opponent had managed to land upon him.
Looking over to his shoulder, Ayden saw his blood pouring freely from the wound, but knew that the damage was not so great that he could not press on if needed. Tucking the edges of his partially ruined shirt over the wound to act as an impromptu bandage, Ayden looked across the battlefield and saw Calenthang snatch the axe from the larger foe's grasp and send a chilling glare out across the opening.
~He is definately not one I would want to have to cross...~
As both Calenthang and Teleri begin to help Therav to his feet, Ayden motions to Broddy and Dunstand as he approaches them.
"We must move fast lest whatever sent these creatures after Therav decide to send out more looking for their lost companions. Broddy, do you have any spells that allow you to sense if we are being scryed upon as we speak? If so, I beg thee cast it and tell us what you detect. Dunstand, search their bodies carefully, if you see anything that might give us a clue about who, what and where these beasts came from we need to know, and I know your enchanted lenses will help you notice things we might otherwise miss."
Seeing the gnome's bloody shirt, Ayden reached out and touched the gnome's shoulder humming the familiar notes to Finder's minor song of healing. As the warmth left his hand and fused into Broddy's body, Ayden hoped the spell could ease the gnome's pain somewhat.
As Ayden heard Teleri asking Therav what had caused him to flee into the woods like a man possessed, Ayden turned and approached the merchant. As he got closer, Ayden began to study the man's eyes, checking to see if they were those of a man alert and in control of himself, or glassy like one who is nothing more than a puppet waiting for their master to pull the strings.
