As the party regain their wits, and the world narrows to their little piece of it, Click and Alomar each notice a hip high scorpion racing to their side, two more spread out from the barn, one heading for the road, the other giving chase to the little healer who fell back as the door to the barn was thrust open violently.<br/><br/>Click deftly moved through the scattered serpents as he raced across the intervening space to slide under the claw as it tried to backhand him. His dagger dug an artistic line into the hard covering of the beast, though not enough purchase given to penetrate the thick hull. As he stood, and prepared to dance with the massive creature, the smaller scorpion reared its tail just in time to be snatched from the ground by the roc, both the bird and the rider quickly dispatching the vermin, several legs and the tail falling away from the pair as they swept back into the air for positioning again.<br/><br/>Alomar appeared across from the rogue in time to distract the scorpion, allowing critical positioning of Click's blade. Unfortunately his own strike skittered across the carapace with an almost musical pinging. The strike that came to his side shived hard against his shielding letting him know that his magics had not failed him and reminding him of the smaller scorpions.<br/><br/>Livia was in trouble, the scorpion that had chased her now held her in a tight grip by the anke, her pain obvious in her eyes as the hardened claw gripped tighter threatening to break the joint.
