Emra keeps an eye sharp and her bow ready as everyone moves down the deserted street. With their backs covered, Floki and Buliwyf are able to find an open alleyway which leads in roughly the correct direction. Coming out of the alley puts you in a large courtyard between buildings. It may have once been an outdoor market based on the rotting wooden stalls, but now is inhabited only by large flying insects which take flight at your intrusion. Their shape marks them as Stirges, mosquito-like creatures which can suck a man dry of blood in large numbers. Instead of the standard brown striping these are pitch-black. As they take flight from your disturbance you notice they seem to disappear when flying through shadows, similar to Emra's skill in the night. The majority fly up and out of the area, but some of them are drawn to your warm bodies.
