Ehvren turned to her, fury on his face. But his tongue was tied as he felt himself shake, body nearly ready to burst at the answer when something dropped down from the ceiling. It looked like a living pile of bones.
"What the Hell is that?"
And before he knew it, it was lunging at the girl- and he? Somehow he found a sword in his hand as he leapt clean after it, roaring angrily and shattering it's bone body in half. The creature more or less toppled into a useless heap, it's body eventually puffing into 'ash', leaving Ehvren standing there, just as confused as he was but a moment before.
And before he could even say something, two more of those bone creatures appeared behind Ilona and reached out for her with their wicked, bone fingers.
What the hell was going on!?
And why was he so quick to rush up there and drag the girl clean out of the fray? The bone men seemed easy enoguh to beat, they were just a little unnerving, but as he batted them off of her with his sword, he grabbed her by the wrist and yelled, "Why are you just standing there? Run!"
Because there wasn't just a few bones ready to fight them, a dozen more began to jump down from the hole in the ceiling!
