Knowing that the prescience of the scamper monkeys means you are heading on the right course you stop only for a brief respite. The scamper monkeys seem unable to decide if they are curious or angry at your presences and some of the smaller specimens throw twigs and fruit at you until they are scattered by a quivering arrow in a tree trunk near them. As the shaft stills, Daria smiles to herself, satisfied with her aim.<br/>Red examines some of the coloured plants, remembering that its fruit of a blue flowered one is poisonous, turning the blood to paste. In emergencies it can be used to stem a bleeding wound, but even then only as a last resort. The others appear to be a variation of a thick, dark leaved bush the elves call Grumpy Larg, which has little of value, although the fat roots can be chewed to alleviate some of the boredom in a task.<br/>The trees start to get taller and their leaves darken, whilst trunks become wrapped in tendrils that sprout five point leaves of their own. Despite being on your guard, only Red notices the creature before it act. His shouted warning comes too late for his two female companions, both of whom are caught by the creatures as its fanged maw releases a cloud of heat draining gas. All they can do is attempt to cover their exposed skin to lessen the affect.<br/>20ft above you, the bat creature spreads its wings, snarling a challenge. It looks humanoid, especially with the smooth skinned round skull, but unnaturally thin and with wings instead of arms, its ears and fangs elongated. Its skin is a mottled grey, and even in the feeble light of the setting sun it blinks its eyes protectively, hopping slightly on its branch at the thought of a fight.<br/><br/>OOC: Creature is going to act on an initiative of 15. Its a magical beast so knowledge arcana to know more about it.<br/><br/><strong>  Combat Map:</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab247/bloodthief/combatmap.png) </div></div><br/>Red<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">You can either make a single attack and then save against the damage, or move to the side to avoid the area.</div></div><br/>Daria<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">15 cold damage, reflex save 13 for 7.
