Another fiery beast pounced on Nariah, but in the nick of time she bashed it with her shield and sent it flying with a yelp, but another caught her off guard and sunk its teeth into her arm, its searing saliva eating away at the thick plate of her gauntlet.  [b]"Agh!  Get off me ye bastard!"[/b]  She growled bludgeoning its head with her sword pommel, knocking it loose and then slicing its head clean off.  As she fought through the hordes vast approaching her, her ears caught wind of the downed mage.  Bah!  Like they needed a damn cocky elf!  Let him get fed off to distract these beasts Nariah thought, but sure enough who else but the healer made her way to his aid in time, killing the beast with a rather odd looking blade.  [b]"That's what ye get for being cocky, pointy ears!"[/b]  Nariah hollered over to the elf bashing another beast with her shield and stabbing her sword through one trying to jump on her again.
