Chap 1 cont.
A short, plump figure jumped out of a tree. It landed on it's feet waist-deep in the snow. Climbing out, the group could see this one had a bow. Some of them considered an attack. Some of them considered talknig. All of them kept motionless ad quiet, waiting for what would happen next.
All around the band, the snow started moving. The wind playfully carried some of it away, but most was shoved aside by pure strenght. Three-dozen cloaked, hooded, bow-armed creatures no more than four feet high surrounded the adventurers.
The tallest of the beings stepped forward, drawing a sword and pushing the hood back at the same time, in one weird looking but well-practised motion. The feature that struck te group first was an unproportionately large, hooked nose.
