"We must prevent the enemy coming between us and the others if we can," whispers Josiane; "Fall back and let us see who else walks here. Dorgan; if the Marrowstone gives you sight in this darkness will you lead the way? We may be able to catch the foe unawares. Let Dieter and I follow behind, then friend Wen. Desmond and Mondes; do you guard the rear and watch behind - I fear foes may lurk in the shadows of yonder desecration."

"Does this plan find favour with you all?"

"Yes, and quickly," Dieter mutters. He feels a prickling at the base of his neck.

Desmond and Mondes both nod silently. In full alert mode, they stop scanning for secret passages of any kind and begin constantly looking around them and above them for any signs of movement or activity.

If it isn't already lit, then Desmond will hand the torch back to Wen (actually, he'll do that if it is lit, as well) to make sure he can fully manipulate his sword and shield to the best of his abilities.

Armando does his best to give Torben and Gustave room to press the attack, while he holds the lantern high and peers back up the passageway to make sure it remains uninhabited ...

Dorgan nods silently. He will do as Josiane instructs, leaving his pack behind for now.

"Bad doggy!" chastises Gustave, as giant teeth attempt to rip the shield from his very arm (and no doubt scratching the delicately wrought surface at the same time!)
"You behave as badly as a tavern wench I once knew", he adds, taunting, while fighting defensively to allow Torben to use his spear, "though Ill warrant you the fairer - were it that I could actually see anything in here."

"Rufuuuus! the reinforcements?"

Wen would blink a few times, accept the torch back, put out his candle and place it in his belt pouch. "Danger? You think." he you mutter a few words to himself as if trying to remember something specific. Staff in one hand Torch in the other he would take his place near the rear.

"I have spell in mind. Perhaps it is time."

"Let us end this quickly."

Ulric raises his hands and several fiery bolts spring from seemingly nowhere to fly at the attacking beast.

OOC: Ulric casts the Hyperbole Fulmination sending all four bolts at the beast.
