The next group had a pair of Dark Elves riding on spiders, leading the group of Spiderlings. While the Elves didn't hesitate to engage, their mounts balked for a moment before obeying, giving the ranged fighters a half second longer than usual to prepare before being engaged by the insanely agile combatants.
The Spider Riders leaped straight over the defenders and went for the ranged fighters, only for one to be bombarded with spells, while the other had its rider stripped by Hawk, who twirled in the air, adjusting to the weight, then lit the Dark Elf on fire and hurled it into the nest where the Dire Bear Golems were waiting for it.
The Elf put up a valiant fight, but against two Dire Bears and already covered in Ghostfire, it was a losing battle.
One of the Dragonkin intercepted the spider, stopping its flight, while the ranged fighters focused on killing it.
Then they could turn their attention to the Spiderlings, which were fighting the melee group and the golems.
