Between the whacking and fire spells flying about, the Inferi's numbers are gradually dwindling. Arms, legs, and other body parts litter the pathways, some of them still moving, but there are still more than enough of the creatures left to take on the humans. Some pile on top of one boy (Derf), growling menacingly. A decayed hand reaches up to grab the boy's neck, squeezing tighter and tighter until... something collides with it. The boy diving at the creatures (Abra) crahses into them. One Inferius snarls at him as it goes down, and its leg detaches right in the boy's hand. A couple others are blasted back by his spell, but they don't stay down for long. Bones crackle as they get back to their feet, this time turning to the other boy (Abra) instead.

Still, a few of the creatures remain on top of the boy (Derf). As one of them pins his arms, a strange rumbling sound is heard. A couple of boulders come barreling toward the Inferi, knocking a few of them down with a CRUNCH! But the boulders aren't stopping. They pick up speed, rolling closer and closer to the boy himself (Derf). Better think fast, human!

The adult human isn't faring much better. The legless Inferius continues its stranglehold on her until... WHACK! The girl's (Bel) bat crunches against bone. The creature's head flies off and lands on the ground, its white cloudy eyes still darting. The hands loosen grip and fall at her feet along with the rest of its torso. More Inferi quickly move in to take its place. One creature is held in place as a spell hits its feet, but it isn't deterred. It flings itself at the woman, leaving its frozen legs behind. Another is blinded by the girl's (Skylar) light spell and staggers back with an angry cry, clawing wildly in front of itself. Surely it will make contact with human flesh...
