As the creatures started to approach, Megaera spun around with very little hesitation. "Like this? This'll only buy us a bit, but..."

Raising her hands, she began to incant a spell, words in a strange magic forming from her mouth as she quickly went through a series of precise motions with her hands...

"Slow!"

Unfortunately, the spell wouldn't hit the entire group - not with so many small ones - but it would slow down the mother and buy them a few seconds.

"And now, MOVE!"

Which Megaera was promptly doing.
