Dieter and Runeson immediately take charge, directing the guards into a defensive formation on and around the wagon just as the first gibberlings attack.
The gibberlings are short, squat creatures with thick black fur that covers most of their muscular bodies, though bare patches of sickly gray skin are found on their faces, arms, and legs. Jetblack eyes and a perpetual deranged grin adorn their bestial faces, which are framed by pointed ears topped with hairy tufts. They grip crude weapons with murderous intent, screaming in absolute gibberish.
The guard next to Runeson, a man of middling years, moves too slowly and is quickly swarmed by the howling creatures. That would have been the end of the poor man, but Runeson hauls him backwards and up onto the wagon to relative safety.
Koveras opens his mouth as if to argue with Dieter, but then shrugs. He and Shar-Teel cut the horses loose...and then hop astride the beasts, spurring them away from the battle and leaving Dieter, Runeson, and several guards alone to fend off the chittering horde.
