His Rift-Sprites, having already been given the skills to summon more creatures, acted without hesitation.
Creatures appeared amidst the trees behind the unsuspecting pursuers. The Bone Militia hit the enemy's back first.
The attackers turned around while shouting in alarm, but with those screams cut short by their deaths. A volley of elemental attacks rained down from the sprites hiding in the branches above.

The Primal Pack struck next, the wolves lunged at the hunters. With jaws snapping bones and tearing throats, the wolves drove the panicked fighters straight into the skeletons' waiting blades.
