The dragon knew a bit about bats, mostly because the wizard that had owned him for nearly five decades had kept quite a few of them for spell components and research and whatever other reasons a wizard kept such creatures. He mostly knew the creatures were skittish to loud noises, and didn't like larger creatures, but didn't actually attack them, usually more interested in getting away from the loud noises or bright lights.<br/><br/>He carefully retraced his steps, after quietly warning Akiros about the bats, the barbarian quickly shaping up into a competent second of the group. Once outside, he warned the others. "Bats roosting inside. Avoid loud noises or lights, and they should leave us alone. If you require some to assist you in moving around the tunnel, speak now. I will provide a wing, tail, or even side if you need."<br/><br/>He then headed back inside, ready to provide the required limb if the others needed someone to support and guide them through the darkened areas.
