Candalor had jogged after the group as he noticed them disappearing in the distance when he returned with his goods. He ran after them, and quickly headed for front space, but settled for second when Maylea seemed to insist on being the front scout. He was just going to ask for help with his armor, when he heard momo yell Fireball. Looking out to the side, he saw the big beasts, quite similar to the one dead on the road a little back. Remembering his new friends describing it as a monster, he once more dropped his armor pack and prayed to Pelor for additional protection. A shimmering, mostly translucent, golden disk appeared in front of the paladin, as he moved up to protect the lady in front of him, in case one of the creatures decided to come charging in.<br/><br/>[[OOC, casting Shield of Faith, while taking position on the square northeast of Maylea. Since she had a higher initiative, he would do that after she had moved, assuming she stays within 30 feet walking distance. Since I'm not wearing the armor yet, but with the Shield of Faith, my AC currently is 19.]]
