As she travels, Laelanith hears a slightly muted galloping noise. However it isn't hard to see - two enormous black horses, hooves and manes aflame, charge in her general direction, clouds of smoke erupting from their flaring nostrils. Mounted upon their backs appear to be large, muscular creatures wearing full-plate and carrying lances. Dark Knights of Hades, it seems.<br/><br/>From the other direction, two other horselike creatures charge forwards, but these seem to be related (distantly) to centaurs. They are smaller than the Nightmares, and are grey in colour, though their backs are covered in armour. The humanoid torsos are withered and wiry, clearly strong, but unhealthy, and their mouths foam with bloodlust. They carry lances as well, and it looks like the poor girl is going to be in the middle of their battle or meeting.<br/><br/>She does have time to react, however, and there are piles of boulders she could try hiding amongst if she thinks that will work. She does still have all her equipment, too.
