Looking at the creature closer, those things were not badgers. At least nothing like what she saw in the books. Actually they appeared to be Paich, vicious mole-like monsters that dig underneath their prey and drug it below. She heard Leith also say something about people coming after Lyn. [color=00a651]"Dammit. Than these things are a distraction!"[/color] Meirin wanted to just leave and head towards Lyn, but she knew that the Paich would be able to catch up to them, even digging underground. They would constantly stop them unless all three of the students can somehow fly towards Lyn, but even then that might just make the little monsters go to her instead. No, as much as Meirin wanted to avoid doing so, she needed to fight off these creatures.

Leith used his magic to make a bubble of water around a few of the Paich. This allowed Meirin to figure out where they were, so she started to preform a weaving spell. [color=00a651]"Summer, watch your feet! Those things come out from below!"[/color] Once Meirin was finished with her spell, she shot a blast of wind at one of the piach. Against a normal person this blast of wind would be enough to knock them over, even stopping arrows in their track. But against something smaller and lighter, like the paich, it would be enough to blow them into the air, which was right where Meirin wanted them. If the little monsters were out of their element then Meirin would have no trouble skewering them through their soft underbellies, or even just smashing them through their reinforced shells. She was certain her fists were much harder than their hides.

[color=fff200]"Aaaaraaa!"[/color] Myrn blitzed pasted Colette and her pet demon right into the Ridge Hound horde. She sprung fast, slicing one ridge hound from shoulder to leg, using the momentum of her jump to add cutting force. She had jumped far enough that she was able to plant her feet against the wall, which she used to spring herself back to the front line, putting her body between the ridge hounds and Colette. [color=fff200]"Colette, don't be stupid! Running right into a whole group of them like that... See if your little bat demon can pull some coffins on top of them, that ought to crush them!"[/color] Myrn returned to the fray, never staying still. She was purposely trying to get the attention of as many Ridge Hounds as she can, using her superior agility and situation awareness to deftly avoid their attacks, parrying those that she can't dodge. And because some were stunned by Darius's air bombs, it was easy for Myrn to read their movements. Though this also meant that she couldn't really fight them, and was hoping that the others could take out the Ridge Hounds while she distracts them.
