Well, she'd successfully knocked one gourd back a little. She'd barely had time to think, What do I do about the rest of them? when a roar shook her and drew her eyes away from the vampire gourds encircling her.
She actually scrambled to her feet - with some staggering and some more "Ow!"s of annoyance as the gourds crowded around behind her - as a silver dragon came to her rescue. She might've stared longer at the sight if she weren't still being accosted by vicious vegetables. "STOP IT!" She kicked at one and it rolled away...
...actually they were all rolling away, thank Sa-... goodness. "Thank you," she said to the dragon. "More thanks still if you don't eat me." She doubted dragons were vegetarians.
Then her brow furrowed as her eyes tracked the vampire gourds' path. "Oh no," she groaned. Because of course they were headed to Sanctuary. Of Course they were, and her instinct was to take off running after them, but the first couple of steps had her wincing and limping awkwardly. The nasty little gourds had done quite a number on her legs.
