"Wait, whats that noise?" Miles asked Kelsier. "Probably just someone getting drunk and starting a fight." Kelsier replied dismissively. "I don't think so..." Miles muttered. He took a step forward, and suddenly this [i]thing[/i] came barreling through a tent and took a swipe at Mile's exposed back. But just at that moment, the tent cloth got in the thing's face the ropes tangled up it's limbs and Miles tripped and stumbled forward. The things out stretched claws missed by a hair. "What the Hell?" Miles shouted. Both Kelsier and Miles acted instinctively, Miles pulled Vindication from its holster and Kelsier grabbed Silver and started swinging before it was clear. Mile's shot took the three quarters of the thing's head and Kelsier's slash cut the thing in half. 

	They stopped to catch their breath. "Allow me to reiterate,..." Miles panted "What the [i]Hell[/i] was that!? "I think, that was a Velulu. I have heard of them, but never seen one. Miles bent to examine the corpse. "Well whatever it was its ugly." "Then you two might get along." Kelsier said. Miles looked up at him, "It tried to kill me." He said. "So did I." Kelsier responded. Miles thought about that for a moment, "Good point." He admitted. He stood up and they turned to go. But then the thing suddenly convulsed and grabbed Miles ankle. "Gahk!" was all the repartee he had as he fell on his face. "That thing is still alive!" Kelsier shouted. The Velulu pulled Miles closer, claws raking with mindless ferocity. Miles kicked his legs but the thing was too strong and it held on. Fortunately, Kelsier reacted by stepped in and cutting the thing's arms off.

	Miles scrambled away and stood up, Breathing hard. He winced at the pain from the cuts on his legs and ankles. "Can you stand?" Kelsier asked quietly. Miles drew in a deep breath and breathed out. "Yeah, but I won't be running marathons any time soon." he told him. "Good," Kelsier said, "Because I think we are surrounded." Miles and Kelsier were back to back, with velulu on every side in various forms of ugly. Kelsier finally got a good look at them. [Insert description here.] "Well, crap." Miles said. "Yeah, that sums it up nicely." Kelsier replied. Then the monsters were on them in a wave of claws, fangs, and red eyes.
