As the last of the lingering bats were chopped into bite sized pieces, Jagred lowered his blood-covered sword. After a quick glance to take in his surroundings, he noticed how the lizard’s roar had scared most of the hounds off. Some remained though, he could spot their snout through the clear water. Jagred frowned slight as he flicked his sword, sending droplets of blood onto the cavern walls. His entire apparel was also dotted with bat blood, and his white hair was marred with streaks of red. 

 “[color=lightslategray]Damned critters…[/color]”-He mumbled as he ran a hand through his hair; the frown deepened when his hand came back red.- “[color=lightslategray]Got blood in my hair.[/color]”

 He would prefer to press on now, since nothing was blocking the path anymore. However, after a quick look at the members of his group, he noticed the young woman was missing. Did she got dragged off into a pond by hounds? In that case, she was good as dead, unless necromancy allowed the user to breath under water? That was certainly not the case, as far as he knew. There were corpse raisers among his people as well, rare as they were, and he was pretty sure they drown just like everyone else. Regardless, he wouldn’t want the hounds to bite their backsides as they moved further into the caverns. Quickly grabbing one of the skittering crabs on the ground, Jagred hurled the poor creature at the hounds, hoping to irritate them enough to attack him. If they didn’t, he would just move on down the path, with the occasional look behind his shoulder of course. 

 -Jagred used crab toss to draw agrro. If it does not work, he will move on.-
