You recite the words of the Old Kingdom Spell Invisible Fist and point your hand at the attacking creature. A ball of concussive energy is released which glances the beast’s skull and stuns it. The trooper is able to recover his senses and defend himself as the determined creature stumbles drunkenly towards him, slashing the air wildly with its sharp talons.

Hurriedly you dismount and unsheathe your Kai Weapon. You turn only just in time to counter an attack from the other two creatures that come leaping towards you and Sergeant Yeng.
