This was definitely not in the training. So how did they handle That one?[/COLOR]
Okay, this was great. Tiara was still firing off Stunners whenever she could, and now she and Adair had a plan in case they needed more firepower. But..

"SAVE YOUR SPINNERETS! MOVE OUT! RETREAT!"
Steady stream leaving the castle, the horde moved towards their home in the Forbidden Forest. Those that remaining fell into four categories: thought they were dead from the 'basilisks'' gaze, were actually dead, were in the middle of fleeing, or were Aletag.
..The arachnids were fleeing now! She had no idea what instructions Maddox, Hops, or any of the other adults would give, but she was just too stunned at how well their plan was working to think of anything constructive other than simply getting out of the way.
"Everyone back up out of their way!" she said to those in the snakeskin.
The last of the hairy beasts were finally gone except for.. Yes, she had heard Mordaunt say something about another one with a turkey (
Aletag). Looking straight at it, she proclaimed in triumph, "
Stupefy!"
Then, turning her head to survey the scene cautiously, she determined that nothing else was attacking.
"Right then. I say we check and make sure they're either all dead or Stunned then head back into the Great Hall." Without pausing to see if anyone was following her suggestion, she shed the snakeskin from her shoulders and began to prod the creatures with her feet, occasionally casting another Stunning Spell when needed.
