Belinda thought it best to support the guards with speeches of heroes past who survived impossible odds and who lived to see another sun rise above the mountains.
As the abominations appeared outside the village walls, the guards sniped them as best they could, concentrating on one which spat bolts of acid. Only a few of the bolts even scratched the fiend. By the graces of fortune (or so they thought), Hunolt the Brave rode down with his loyal Zzrath from the northern gate.
Sadly, this gate also proved no match against acid and the creatures stormed the village.

In the end, less than a handful of the guards stood alive and the heroes had lost their new companion, Werton, to poison. The interim sheriff (replacing the Dread Sheriff Tyrion) and the blacksmith were among the fallen. Having little time to mourn, the survivors set out for the monastery.
