Odysseus would have kept going and going in the direction of the bandit camp, moving as fast as it could go until it was about a good around twenty five to thirty or so yards away from the campsite, or at least at a point where it and the ghouls couldn't be seen anymore, which in the dark was about a good thirty yards away, the smell not being here either, and boy did those things smell foul. Even now Odysseus would still be on edge a bit. Not utterly terrified like before, but still on edge. Lyrisa would soon ride up as well, having been a bit swifter than the others in her mount up so she was able to get there sooner. Leifr and Allereun, unfortunately, were not so lucky since it took them a bit longer to mount up, even though Allereun noticed the powerful stench and blurry figures of the monsters ahead of time. The monsters began their charge, guttural growls and hisses escaping them as one of them, the closest one, moved towards Allereun and his horse, his and Leifr's horses both being a little freaked out by the fires. Before the beast could attack though it suddenly hissed loudly, the fire nearest to Allereun's somewhat freaking out horse and the beasts seeming to flare up for a single instant by just a tiny bit as it grew lighter, catching more of the leaves, grass, and kindling within the bedroll now. The fires seemed a bit brighter now though, burning a bit brighter than before as the leaves and grass around it added to a bit of its flame. Four of monsters were held back by this, one of them even seeming to hiss very loudly and retreat back, covering its eyes, looking almost stunned by the brighter fire. One of them though seemed a bit hesitant to approach as it was shielding its eyes a bit, but it still managed a guttural hiss and groan as it lurched forward and slashed up at Allereun's horse with the claws on one of its deformed looking hands. It might have been the brighter fire as the beast missed. With the other four temporarily held back, Allereun and Leifr could escape with the others towards the camp down the hills from here in hopes to get to a position that would be more easily defended rather than trying to fight or run away from these beasts while in this more hilly terrain. Besides, whatever else was out there may also attack the group if they run, if there is anything else out there of course.
