There wasn't even enough time for introductions as a wave of horrifying
creatures attacked. They were five feet tall and mostly tail and legs.
Vestigal arms hung limply and sucker mouths clacked open and shut by the

Two of the halflings went flying, smacked by tails. The redheaded one smashed into an elven lantern. It landed with him, rolling off into the darkness. A handful of foes turned and ran after the two.
