arrived too late at ultimate uncertainty

Oh, you think things don't make sense? Hah. Get ready, because you're about to be attacked by what amount to very angry jack-o-lanterns. The vampire gourds come soundlessly somehow, rolling along through the fields. Like a group of predators, they've fanned out in a circle with Freina at their centre. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. It mattered absolutely not at all that this human hadn't been there when their mother had been killed. Blood demanded blood, and so they reduced the radius of their circle more and more and more, and then... they rolled. Despite how Freina might fight back, how she might scream and kick, whatever cleverness she might find inside of her soul, still they outnumber her far too completely. Freina takes what amounts to roughly 30% overall damage. She'll have cuts on her legs and hands from their teeth and significant bludgeoning damage on her knees and shins.
