The beasts only reeled back slightly against Flin's spread out attack, barely affected and completely uninjured. Pyra's attack saw more success breaking through several teeth on its way down the creature's throat. It clamped its jaw shut and staggered even further backwards, crunching the small stone inside of its mouth for at least a few seconds with its head shaking from side to side. Teeth fell out of its mouth in shards, along with chunks of stone, but it didn't seem to be in any danger of choking. But as it was pushed away from the Eldi mage, a stream of blood sprayed out of its neck onto the ground below. Now it barely stood with blood trickling from a newly opened wound, where a small silver spike protruded throat the creature's flesh. Zay was closing in on the group now, one hand extended with a second spike slowly emerging from the base of his palm.

	The other two creatures immediately continued forward in their assault. One of them latched on to Neale's armored boot and began to rip him from Noru and Pyra's grasp with a considerable amount of force, whipping its head from side to side like a crazed hyena. Daelin's bolt scratched past its furry muzzle and drew blood, but it refused to release its grip.

	The other beast circled Flin and leaped past him, towards Noru. "Shit!" the medic hissed. He wouldn't be able to move in time. Marilyn began to tug on the metal chain as the group made their way onto the ramp, but she wasn't about to close it on her own with four people and two beasts on top of the heavy iron gate.
